I'm about 40% in. I'm unaware of what all is new info. It has a whole Neil Aspinall chapter - I assume that's new?!?!

The Magic Alex interview is crazy too.

nah. Barely getting started.

I've also just received in the mail "John Lennon In My Life" by Pete Shotton. The intro makes the claim that Pete thinks he spent more time with John than any other person.

It's an interesting hard copy - it's paperback but like the size of a magazine.

Not much. Paul & George are more openly anti John than they would be after he was murdered a few weeks later.

Alex claims Linda was more disliked than Yoko (which I'd read before from others). It makes sense: Yoko was merely a relentless self promoter, while Linda was a spoiled bitch

Yes, I should have mentioned that.

He says little worth noting (he wasn't about to spill secrets). Perhaps that's why he's barely mentioned in The Love You Make.

I thought Derek Taylor was the most entertaining interview

I have Taylor's book, but figgered he'd never dish out dirt on the Beatles so I never bothered reading it. But he's so amusing I'm gonna have to haul it out now.
