Rock Odyssey: A Chronicle of the Sixties (1960's)

I should have bought this book when I first heard about it - back in 1985 when "Hammer of the Gods" came out. Whats different about this book is Mr Whitcomb includes a full story about the Beatles, then has his diary. Its well written and its great knowing the facts are true and accurate (instead of relying on articles interviews etc. Oh by the way "You Turn Me On" is a great album! (US and UK copies differ in tracks.....

This book was...well, it was a great read. Mr. Whitcomb describes His 1960s odyssey in great detail, with the honesty and ignorance of an outsider. It has heartbreaks and troubles, and miniature and near triumphs, at least that seems to be how the author sees some episodes in His life. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know what the music scene in the early 1960s was like from a non-hippie across-the-pond musician point-of-view, anyone who likes good, true stories, and also to anyone with a sense of humour.
