Evolver 62 on blu ray has arrived in the UK. Can't wait to watch it! Thanks to @marklewisohn.bsky.social for turning his 2022 stage show into an exciting new documentary!

Watched on Prime--the presentation of the 1962 history in setting the stage for The Beatles was engrossing! It is definite must-view for Fab Four fans & anyone wanting to understand the work ethic, drive, and confidence behind the lasting cultural force that captivated and changed life in the 1960s.

An engrossing journey through The Beatles' break-out year of 1962. I bought the film as a bit of a down payment on the future volumes, and because it's always a joy to hear the incredible story of The Beatles illuminated as no else can @marklewisohn.bsky.social letterboxd.com/nickfield90/...

Rest of the world: Liverpool West, (production company for my film Evolver:62) say "Distribution outside the USA and UK hasn’t been settled yet and will have a slow rollout." When I have more news, I'll share it here. DVD from bit.ly/3Zap37F is US product and sent from there, so it won't be cheap.

UK people: I'm thrilled by the warm appreciation from those who've seen Evolver:62. The production company Liverpool West is US-based and has focused most distribution efforts there so far. There is just one UK availability, which is amzn.to/4bP7bGS

It’s fantastic! Just finished watching it and actually got back on Bluesky to congratulate you since I saw on your website that’s where to find you. Thank you so very much for your commitment to tell the story of the lads with such respect and accuracy and passion

This, by @marklewisohn.bsky.social, is truly brilliant and totally absorbing - and despite having been a lifelong Beatles fan it's full of colourful detail I hadn't heard before. Thankfully it's also available on Apple: tv.apple.com/us/movie/evo..., so I don't have to tell you to give JB your money.

Watch Evolver 62 | Prime Video Globally-renowned historian Mark Lewisohn weaves an array of short sharp stories into a savvy and surprising reveal of a band that's stayed both cutting-edge and massively popular, The Beatles.

Today I become a film star. Well, hardly, but the documentary based on my 2022 London theatre presentation Beatles/Evolver:62 is available from Amazon Prime, 108 minutes of surprising and engaging cultural history for the price of a coffee. In the UK the URL is www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/det...

Congrats to Beatles Books Podcast on making 100 – a brilliantly simple idea done simply briliantly. I'm pleased to have been part of it.

There isn’t a grain of evidence for this and it’s hugely unlikely. A fun thought, though.

George Martin would have been 100 today. Here he is characteristically being both musical and stylish.

Sir George Martin was born 100 years ago today. He and the Beatles lucked into their glorious partnership and humankind is the lasting recipient. I was privileged to work with George and hoped to mark the centenary by touring a theatre show about his life & work – but I must stay focused on writing.

Great to see George alluding to @marklewisohn.bsky.social 's research for his excellent "The Beatles Live!" book in episode 9 of the Anthology: "He ran out of beauty competitions to judge!" That's all the Threetles who have joked about it now.
How lovely to have given the Fabs a laugh!

The Beatles: All These Years – Volume 1 – Tune In Publisher’s press release

15. The Beatles, All These Years, Volume 1: Tune In, @marklewisohn.bsky.social . I avoided it for years, because even for me, it's surely too much - it can't sustain the interest while ending in 1962, can it? Oh, yes it can. It's magnificent.

In Tune In I quoted a 1960 Paul McCartney letter declaring that the Beatals (yes) had β€˜competence, confidence & continuity’ … and just today I’ve found that Paul nicked it from a Midland Bank cheque book, Competence–Continuity–Confidence being printed on the inside back cover. Great nicking, Paul!
