No idea where this post should go, but...has anyone ordered this book (from the USA with
huge postal charges)and not received it, spent ages waiting for it or not had their
e-mails responded to? I am having huge problems with the company who have not answered my
e-mails in 10 days regarding my order (the money left my account 6 weeks ago!). Maybe
anyone thinking of buying should hold off for a while until I get some answers.

I emailed asking if there was a way to buy it without the ridiculous shipping charges
(i.e. somewhere closer to the advertised price of $100), but that was several weeks ago
and I still haven't had a reply. Disappointed to hear you haven't had any luck either...

I bought it a couple of years ago with no problem.

my missus (gawd bless her) bought it for me birthday earlier this month. Got it no
worries. I know someone who had some problems a while back and eventually got sent two I
think so it looks like they can be a little bit erratic.

(assuming you mean the Geoff Emerick book).... I bought a second hand copy from
the UK in reasonable condition a month or so ago. I know you've already paid, but if
comes to nothing and you still want to read the book (and you do, believe me) try the 2nd
hand route.

It's a great book, one of the authors posts on GS occasionally, seems like a genuine guy.
Maybe you could phone them?

...I
don't doubt the integrity of the authors and I have seen the book...it is an amazing
thing!...I'd just like to know if I'm going to see my $162 again! I'm afraid it would seem
the publisher's don't go in for giving out their telephone nos. What's GS?
thanks for all replies, btw.

A little confusion has crept in here I think... The book being referred to by the OP is I
believe 'Recording The Beatles' by Kevin Ryan & Brian Kehew, which can be ordered
here: http://www.recordingthebeatles.com/. Brian Kehew is a brilliant
recording engineer/producer, uber-Beatles fan, and turns up from time to time on message
boards such as GearSlutz
(GS) & ProSoundWeb.
There is another book called Here, There
& Everywhere (My Life Recording the Music of The Beatles) which is a potted
autobiography by Geoff Emerick, the Beatles' engineer from Revolver onwards. This book is
much cheaper and more readily available (but still a darn good read!).
I too
am saving up for the Ryan & Kehew wonder-book, but have been similarly put off by the
massive postal charges from the US. Anyone popping over Stateside like to bring me one
back??

yes, the book is the very expensive (but worth it) one. I have at last had an e-mail back
from the publishers. My order was lost and another now sent. I, too, know of someone who
has received two copies.... Anyway, thanks for your contributions.

Any one of those with a second copy like to negotiate the sale of it to a very eager
Beatlophile?

Sorry, my misunderstanding, though I did say
" assuming you mean the Geoff Emerick book.."
Was not aware of this other one, and
phew! $162! I can see why you are somewhat perturbed. Best of luck with it. Meanwhile, I'm
off to my local library to see if it's in stock anywhere in the County's collection.
