Reviews

Any interested in either the Beatles of the undercurrents of the music industry as a whole will find this a thought-provoking discussion especially suitable for college-level music collections strong in popular music! Midwest Book Review [Beatlemania] is well-written, clearly argued, presents a different interpretation of a much-studied topic, and places the story into the broader historical context. -- Douglas Karsner Essays in Economic and Business History
