Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

Glass Onion consists of exclusive, rare, and uncensored transcripts of press conferences, letters, FBI memos, interviews, and dozens of previously unpublished photos. Here are the inimitable voices and views of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, juxtaposed alongside those of Yoko Ono, Linda McCartney, Pete Best, Julian Lennon, Brian Epstein, Billy Preston, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Ravi Shankar, Denny Laine of Wings, and many others. In this volume, readers will discover an early 1960s letter from George to Stuart Sutcliff; Elvis Presley badmouthing the Beatles to President Richard Nixon; John’s open letter to Paul after the rancorous Beatles’ break-up; a conversation between Lennon and Samuel Beckett; Lennon’s last will and testament; George Martin and Jeff Lynn discussing the Beatles’ twentieth-anniversary reunion; Paul’s feelings on God, John, and Linda’s death in 1998; and much more.

3.0 out of 5 stars review, Feb 29 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Glass Onion: The Beatles In Their Own Words (Paperback)
It was the most interesting beatles book i've ever read. It had inside information and opinions of each beatle. I felt like i knew them personally. It wasn't helpful in writing my papers but it was the most intriguing. Once I have the time i'd like to read it from cover to cover. It is good for pleasure reading but not for research.

2.0 out of 5 stars authoring made easy: use auto-generate book on your PC, Oct 13 2003
This review is from: Glass Onion: The Beatles In Their Own Words (Paperback)
This time Geoffrey Giuliano decided to make life easy for himself and present a book full of interviews, press conferences, letters, FBI memos etc., and so he didn't have to write a lot himself (Bob Wooler wrote the foreword). The book consists of 8 parts; The Beatles (interviews & articles from 1964 - 1996), John Lennon (1963 - 1983), Paul McCartney (1968 - 1998), George Harrison (early 1960's - 1991), Ringo Starr & Pete Best (lumped together for all of 2 articles; 1976 - 1985), Family (1979 - 1984), Friends (1961 - 1984) and Newspaper Reportage (1967 - 1998).
Of course this book will almost certainly feature some interviews that you haven't read before and at 349 pages this book is thicker than the average GG book, but why the interviews etc. provided in this book were selected, when there is so much more to choose from, remains a mystery (the author's introduction doesn't shed any light on this either). There is no specific 'theme' in any of the sections, so it's not a book you could easily use as a reference. It includes things that I just can't place in a book like this, for instance 'Forty Beatles Trivia Questions' (answers provided) - why? And there is also a single page that claims to be All About Apple Corps Ltd (when there are complete books about Apple alone). Once again - why when the subtitle is The Beatles In Their Own Words? And there are many more puzzling examples.
A lot of the interviews don't have the exact date and/or location where they were recorded and this limits their value somewhat.
The photo sections include quite a few snaps I hadn't seen before, so I found that part interesting (of course the author has made sure he features in a few of them, like he does in most of his books).
I read in another review of this book that it probably took him a weekend to put this one together. If he gets himself a faster PC, he could probably do 3 of these in one weekend.

This review is from: Glass Onion: The Beatles In Their Own Words (Paperback)
As if we need any more evidence that Geoffrey Giuliano is a opportunist hanger-on disguised as a "expert" - this book is strictly the work of a clerk, not an author. Collate a bunch of old, dubious interviews, insert one's own impressions, call it a book. That great effort of journalism must have taken, what, a weekend to toss together?

And isn't it nice Geoffrey Giuliano can take credit for this "monumental" work and collect royalties off it.

Some expert.
