Having finished the book, I can say that Robert Rodriguez has whetted my appetite for much more on the solo years. I think it may have been his intention not to go *too* deeply at first. As I mentioned, there could be more, but the tidbits learned are juicy and the book is worthwhile. The post-break-up era is the great, wild frontier for Beatles fans, in my opinion. Compared to the mountain of scholarship on the group years, it is virtually untapped by historians, and I look forward to much more in future.

An ANTHOLOGY for the solo years, or at least the 70s, would be awesome eventually. I think there needs to be a lot more scholarship published to pave the way, though. I think there's quite a bit now about Lennon and McCartney individually, but the other two are even more interesting to me for lack of deep insight to what they were doing month-to-month from 1970-1980. We know nuts and bolts facts and things as revealed in Badman's "The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After the Break-Up," but that's just a dry recitation of where they were from day to day.
Has anyone read "Mystical One: George Harrison After the Break-Up..." by Elliot Huntley?
