Hello. Just finished the book. Incredible story. Loved loved it. As you say it is sad, but Mal lived more than most of us ever will. I am not at all condoning some of his decisions. I am more impressed that you have Larry Legend in your photo background next to George. Awesome- my two faves!! Thanks - you did a great job with this review. I have not read Tune In. I need to make it my next read.
Nice job on the review Matt. I just finished the book a few days ago too ! Fascinating read for sure. The drugs and alcohol did him in and his affairs were too much to deal with as well. You are right a must read. Merry Christmas to you and family and to anyone who is reading my post !!
Glad you have it Matt, really good read but VERY sad particularly the last chapters, I think of all of us Beatles fans had a soft spot for Mal. Loved his column in the original Beatles monthly. It's interesting during the "Lennon Remembers" interview when he slagged off almost everyone in their circle, saying they all thought they were the Beatles, John said "No not Mal" that summed him up and he absolutely doted on them (sadly to the detriment of his own marriage) Hope you have a great crimbo Matt and a merry goo year
Thanks for the informative book review, Matt! Very nice of you to do for Ken Womack..and who is this new photograph I see behind you?! 😀 Ha! Thank you for the addition to your background! I'm honored that you thought of me in this way my friend! Enjoy the next couple of days Celebrating Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! 🎄🧑🎄✌️ 🍻 Allan

Merry Christmas Matthew I appreciate your channel and again I wish to say thank you for sharing your passion for music and your family and your life with us. Merry Christmas Mr Street.
Waiting for the Fest to purchase the book and hopefully ask Ken to sign. Your review is making it very difficult to wait Matt! Merry Christmas to the Street Family. Thanks for a great 2023.🎅☮️🎸🎄⛄️🎁
Thanx for the review, Matt. I missed that this was released. Looks and sounds very interesting. Thanx for the heads up. I'm going to have to get me a copy. I've always been fascinated by Mal and I always wondered what he might have to say about the Lads with his close proximity to them. He doesn't get talked about as much as he should. Tell Ken he owes you a few bucks for getting him a new customer (lol). Anyway - thanx for the post. Hope you and yours have a beautiful and wonderful Christmas - as well as New Years. Until next time - take care, my friend.
Matt this was a wonderful review of a truly great book. Thank you! I just finished reading it last night and every point you make is true - it's essential reading for Beatles aficionados, so well written and researched by Ken Womack. Everything Ken has written about Beatle world (his George Martin books for example) have been first class, excellent reads. An observation - the cover of this book - some irony about Paul & Mal in the foreground and what seems to be a disaster zone in the background? Again - thanks for your review!
Thank you Matt for the review and the recommendation. This video made me feel I should read both Lewisohn's book and the Mal Evans book. I saw a video recently on UA-cam where the author and Mal's son was interviewed, that already gave me a good feeling about this book, and your review has confirmed that!
I'm glad that Mal Evans' diaries were preserved, and it has been reported that he wrote an autobiography, too. He deserves to be remembered, and so it is good that this book has been made.
Hey Matt, thanks you for this video!! I have really been going back and forth with trying to make the decision about getting this book I have Ken Womacks John Lennon book and LOVE IT!!! All the information I can gather will help me with making a decision on this book. I Hope you and your family had a Beautiful Christmas Day!!! Take care!!!!
Mal saw it all,eh,Matt!!!Happy Christmas to you!Ended up watching John and George on the Imagine sessions,then Oh My Love's sessions.Then checked out the Brainwashed EPK on You Tube,as well as those others just mentioned.Theres a John Lennon Returns You Tube channel featuring Lenn Johnston-check that out along with Javier's Christmas thing this Christmas.Have to shoehorn in The Fab Four Christmas songs today.Dont have a turntable to play my original Christmas Fan Clubber on Apple nor my '65 Lyntone Parlophone flexi.Oh well-next year,eh?!!!?
Merry Christmas, Matthew! Just letting you know I mention you in my latest video. Please don't sue me. 😃 I definetely want to get that book sometime soon. Mal seemed like a real sweetheart.
@@samstjohn1994 yeah, I had that smaller image of you up there for a long time. And I’ve been meaning to get you a bigger representation! Finally did it when I had Steve’s made. Notice you and him are very close! Ha ha! Your partner in crime!
