Oops - forgot to answer this:
He also asks for more details as to what you're looking to get out of it.
Dunno. I'm curious about the very early days of the Beatles... like when they were playing in Hamburg and what-not....

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, the film Backbeat is all about Hamburg. I never read the book its based on, but there is one. [link]
I feel like my brain has a fair amount of info about the Hamburg era but I'm not sure if its from one book or a dozen. I'll flip through the ones I still have and see.
(Edit: That link is being a PitA. It cuts off that close paren. It's just the Backbeat article on Wikipdia.)

Review/article on the 33 1/3 books in LA Times: [link]
Part of the beauty of the 33 1/3 series is that there's something for any fan of popular music to appreciate. The series has covered soul musicians like Dusty Springfield and James Brown and country acts such as the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers. There are books for indie rock fans (Neutral Milk Hotel, Guided By Voices), hip-hop enthusiasts (Nas, A Tribe Called Quest), and Top 40 aficionados (Celine Dion, Bruce Springsteen).

The Byrds are country?

The Byrds are country?
They're credited with inventing country-rock when they added Gram Parsons and then Clarence White for Sweetheart of the Rodeo.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Now on my radio -- "Double Shot of My Baby's Love." Does any other song of the '60s exude so much testosterone?

"You're Having My Baby" is 70s, right?
