Hey Michael, Check out the diagram on page 374. It shows Lennon's guitar mic'd with a U47. Although the text says his amp is mic'd as well, the diagram doesn't specifically show it. There is no guitar cord running to the amp? The graphic is accurate - the description could be better. John's guitar ...

Hi eskimo. Right now you can only get it on our website, but we ship all over the world.

My favorite bit so far is the section on the canteen at EMI...there's a picture of the Beatles sitting at this little table eating, and Kevin and Brian cannot resist pointing out in the caption that, in the background of the photo, there's a rare piece of "gear" used by the band...one of the first ...

cities wrote:any idea what the wait time is for recent orders?

Actually, I believe we should be completely caught up by this Friday. If you order now, there isn't the huge backlog of preorders we had to deal with initially, so it will go out fast.

Thanks guys. It's so great to have it out finally and hear the feedback. And yes, it is a big book - literally 11 pounds! Read it in shifts so you don't injure yourself!

(PS: I don't think we've revealed this anywhere yet, but the handwriting on the "tape box" slipcase is actually Ken Scott's...)

Good news - the books have arrived! They'll begin shipping out this week. Thanks again for everyone's patience. We know it took a while, but the wait is (nearly) over. We'll take serious pleasure in getting these in your hands...

Well, just wait. I think our book might get your heart racing a little bit!

oofa. $100? Really socking it to your fellow Fabs geeks, don't you think? Must be awfully expensive paper or something. The reason for the cost will be much more apparent once people hold it in their hands. Not only is the book HUGE, but the first edition is truly a fine-art book, museum quality pa...

I tend to think of the following analogy: If you were a painter and you admired the work of Rembrandt, it might follow that you would be interested in his painting techniques: what kind of pigments he used, what kinds of brushes, the order in which he laid his glazes, his general approach, etc. Of c...

Yeah - Me too! I don't think either Brian or I realized how large the book would become or how MUCH there was to uncover... Glad to be at the end of the tunnel.

KevinRyan

Yep. It shouldn't be TOO much longer until it can be in everyone's hands...

KevinRyan

There's also a link on the site that allows you to add yourself to a list of people to be notified when the book is available. Of course, we'll be making a lot of noise around here when that day comes anyway - it'll be hard to miss...

I hit swap meets and garage sales hunting for any little piece of crap with a speaker that I can pass sound through for a good lo-fi sound. I've picked up so many old portable cassette players, dictaphones and answering machines, all of which give that nice tiny but fuzzed out sound if you blast the...
