Title: IT DESERVES TO BE OUT OF PRINT
Review: I bought this book in 1982 and at the time thought it to be a good read. It was only after much of the information contained in it was thoroughly discredited that I realised how badly I'd been conned. Much of the "information" comes out of Jeff Russell's head, for example his claim that Baby You're A Rich Man was originally two separate songs called One Of the Beautiful People and Baby You're A Rich Man, and that the track was intended for a possible Sergeant Pepper Vol 2 album. Real fantasy stuff! More alarming is his attempt to put words into John Lennon's mouth, specifically the claim that Lennon didn't like Run For Your Life. All in all a very nasty piece of writing. Let's hope it stays out of print indefinitely.
