MARK LEWISOHN - Q&A after "Evolver '62" preview, September 2022

Un-monetized and respectfully included for reference only.
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 a 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 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

Mark Lewisohn has professionally studied the Beatles since the late '70s. Mark has worked for Paul McCartney himself from 1986 to 2001, for the Beatles' own company Apple Corps from 1991 to 1998, and has also collaborated with the surviving members for the enormous 1995 autobiographical "Anthology" project...
But beyond his extraordinary books and even beyond the Beatles themselves (!), listening to Mark Lewisohn talking about the Fab Four during those long conversations with various Beatles fans, Beatles experts and Beatles students from all around the world, is indeed a fascinating and informative experience in itself. It is a vibrant and breathtaking experience because it is like listening to a series of rich in-depth lectures on what life used to be like in the Western World after World War II, during the 1950s and obviously during the great legendary 1960s.
Hence the existence of this channel.

I absolutely loved "Tune In" and am looking forward to the second book. Lewishon does his research and writes extremely well.

[@charliewest1221]

That second book is never going to see the light of day. ML is procrastinating - he's making all kinds of excuses to delay its publication. It was supposed to have been released in 2020.

[@chezdoff9926]

Could listen to this man all night.

[@thekitowl]

Unfortunately the rail strike prevented us from attending Mark’s talk but it was great when Mark did the introduction at the Analog’s gig.

[@lucytupper69]

What does Mark know about the PID conspiracy?

[@scottandrewbrass]

He knows as much as the rest of us. That's it's a big pile of laughable💩💩💩

[@anthonymacmurray]

He knows that it's only believed and spread by idiots or trolls

[@BassManDan1018]

I just saw a brief clip of Wings era Paul singing Yesterday. If you think that’s a different bloke to the one who sang it in 65 you’re deaf, blind and have a room temperature IQ

Mark Lewisohn is a conman in my opinion. He has been pussyfussing for years concerning the release of Volume 2, finding all sorts of feeble excuses (the lack of funds being one). He also claims to be scholalastic (which he most certainly is not). I read his Volume 1. Yes, his work abounds with a plethora of obscure and irrelevant details (the result of painstaking research, granted) but it is far from critical and analytical in the true tradition of scholarly discourse. He is essentially an archaelogist digging, unearthing and presenting. His work is, in the final analysis, a lumping together of many personal and intimate minutiae (often vulgar and offensive) without interrogating these details to present a synthesis and objective assessment as the scholarly historian ought to. How far should the historian go in respecting the privacy of his subjects? I doubt whether the Beatles - Lennon in particular - would be very impressed. McCartney has also expressed reservations about Lewisohn's work. I shall give Volume 2 (if it ever sees the light of day) a categorical miss. I shall spend the time, instead, listening to the music of my beloved band.

Tune In is far more than a simple presentation of facts. It does a fantastic job of placing The Beatles firmly in any number of contexts - social, cultural, geographical, etc. As for Lewisohn being a 'conman'...

[@charliewest1221]

@@JMoruzzi Lewisohn ought to learn to respect the privacy of his subjects ... to write with a sense of dignity ... not to expose lurid details ... which cheapens his work in my opinion. I repeat: he has the penchant for the sensational instead of the scholastic ...a true historian would never mention some of the things he does ... he is CHEAP and VULGAR ...

[@richbailey8174]

I can't disagree with you more....Having read nearly all of the books about them I find his work to be the best I've seen.

[@charliewest1221]

@@richbailey8174 Your opinion is respected, good friend. Just one question: do you approve of historians/biographers revealing intimate details of your favourite stars - personal details those stars would have preferred to have remained private?

[@richbailey8174]

@@charliewest1221 It depends. If it's key to a story yes. I don't think the details in Lewishons books are lurid but very interesting. Of course, we all would like OUR details not to be out there, but we aren't public figures.
