*This channel is NOT Mark Lewisohn's personal KZbin channel.* *But since Mark Lewisohn is indeed the greatest world-renowned and world-recognised Beatles historian and expert - most notably since his 1988 best-seller "The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions" - we thought the man deserved one beautiful reference interviews channel ! So this channel is like a homage to Mark Lewisohn and a reference channel for his master subject The Beatles, almost like a public service kind of channel if you like !... This channel will be like a free and "un-monetized" central platform aimed at any english speaking Beatles student around the planet, and it will patiently collect and centralize all interviews and significant radio/podcast/video appearances Mark Lewisohn has made anywhere in the world, usually scattered around dozens of different sites and platforms on the internet, onto one single central channel for reference without monetizing its videos, for this is a purely educational reference channel for the connoisseurs, without any commercial nor business goal of any sort.* *Therefore this "Mark Lewisohn - A Beatles Historian" channel is indeed a good deed !* *SO PLEASE NOTE THREE IMPORTANT THINGS :* *A) None of these videos on this channel will ever be monetized so we're not robbing anybody here,* *B) A nice & gracious link to the original beloved source/podcast will of course always appear right underneath the video with the original source full name, and* *C) An UNCENSORED version of this Mark Lewisohn channel, ie. with all the missing interviews that were either blocked or taken down by KZbin,* *is and will always be available there* bit.ly/3IpYjWf *My other channels on the Beatles :* The Beatles Otherwise bit.ly/2Ph1gjh The Beatles Ideal Discography bit.ly/3qzlm9C The Beatles Ideal Filmography bit.ly/3pZPJY5 Uncensored Mark Lewisohn, A Beatles Historian bit.ly/3IpYjWf *Mark Lewisohn's "ALL THOSE YEARS" Beatles historical biography that Beatles fans already casually call "THE THREALOGY BOOKS" :* 📖 Tune In - Extended Version amzn.to/3374qdI 📖 Tune In - Regular Version amzn.to/2plUVcg

What great questions! These are not average, mundane questions! I throughly enjoyed the back and forth. Especially about George/Paul, plus the key other- Beatles biographers. So many great informative topics and descriptions. I love Mark Lewisohn and his brilliant hard work! Thank you.

Woh this is so great ! Fantastic interview, brilliant questions too..A real joy to listen to -thanx so much :)

One of the best interviews with Mark Lewisohn I think. Heavier on personal things than of Beatles, though that cannot be divided. Still learned a lot of new stuff about the Beatles too.

[@riffdigger2133]

Lastly, THANK YOU, Ethan.

I grew up in the Mpls area. We'd heard about The Beatles even before Sullivan, but after that Beatlemania exploded here and WDGY radio which back then was top 40 played all the Beatles stuff and continued with each new single that hadn't even made it into stores. Pretty cool in the neighborhood when a new song came on, everybody stopped what they were doing until the song finished! Quite a period of time!

As a teenager during the 60s The Beatles Monthly pen pal page was fantastic place to meet girls. I was a 15 year old cabin boy on tugs in the UK at the time and had a pen pal in every port. Very innocent times those days, pretty much holding hands and swopping Beatles stories over a coffee.

Hurry up Mark and get that book finished!

[@CarlosBacardi]

I just finished Tune In about four hours ago so, yeah, I’m off the same mind. Great book!

He's not been doing "Evolvers", interviews, or in other people's films for a little while now, so hopefully he's in the process of writing volume 2 now?

Great interview

Since Mark listed his favorite album as Please Please Me, I found this deliciously interesting from Wikipedia- “Before deciding on the title Please Please Me, Martin considered calling the album Off the Beatle Track, a title he would later use for his own orchestral album of Beatles songs. The album was recorded on a two-track BTR tape machine with most of the instruments on one track and the vocals on the other, allowing Martin to better balance the two in the final mono mix. A stereo mix was also made with one track on the left channel and the other on the right, as well as an added layer of reverb to better blend the two tracks together. The two tracks generally divided the instrumental track from the vocals, with the exception of "Boys", in which the close proximity of Ringo's drums to his vocal microphone placed the drums (but not the other instruments) on the vocal channel”.

Beatles For Sale is a very sad album... apart from a couple of rock & rolls and, even those other that are suppose to "sheer up", you can notice some sadness on the voice or melody... You need to hear those 5 albums one after the other (Please Please Me to Rubber Soul) and surely will agree.

[@michaelharrington75]

Mark has been quiet for a while now. Hopefully he's writing volume 2?

Yellow Submarine is my least favourite…mainly because I gave myself tinnitus while listening to it. 😢
