Mark Lewisohn

featured a complete history of all the Beatles' live performances, in a format which Lewisohn would follow for his subsequent books.

The book was in the form of a diary, listing chronologically every recording session the Beatles had at Abbey Road Studios.

The Complete Beatles Chronicle was published in 1992 and went one step further, detailing the band's entire career in the studio, on stage, and on radio, television, film and video.

This led to him being invited by the former Beatle to write the liner notes for several of his albums, namely Flaming Pie, Band on the Run: 25th Anniversary Edition and Wingspan: Hits and History.

According to Daniel Finkelstein, writing in The Times in 2014, Lewisohn was responsible for identifying comedian Jasper Carrott as the source in 1983 of the famous remark, "Ringo isn't the best drummer in the world.

A rock and roll group came out of Liverpool and shaped the last half of the 20th century the world over, and their music transcends changing times.

[16] In autumn 2019 Lewisohn toured a one-man show, Hornsey Road, around theatres in England, also stopping at Dublin and Edinburgh.

The revenue from the tour, which sold out several of its venues, helped fund Lewisohn's work on the remaining volumes of The Beatles: All These Years.

He also helped to edit the book Hendrix: Setting The Record Straight, written by John McDermott and Eddie Kramer.
