Resumen del Editor

Derek Taylor's iconic memoir is a rare opportunity to be immersed in one of the most whirlwind music sensations in history: Beatlemania. As Time Goes By tells the remarkable story of Taylor's trajectory from humble provincial journalist to loved confidant right at the center of the Beatles' magic circle. In charming, conversational prose, Taylor shares anecdotes and reminiscences so vivid and immediate that you find yourself plunged into the beating heart of 1960s counterculture. Whether watching the debut performance of "Hey Jude" in a country pub or hearing firsthand gossip about a star-studded cast of characters, Taylor's unique narrative voice forges an autobiography like no other.

Reissued here in a brand new edition with a foreword by celebrated writer Jon Savage, this long-admired memoir is a cult classic of the genre.

Contains mature themes.

Interesting Prose - First-hand source

The prose style and the book’s format are very untraditional, so I think it was easier to process Taylor’s narrative by having someone read the text aloud to me. Some VERY iconic Beatles and 60’s stories from a first hand reliable, albeit tactful narrator who was there and who was a friend of the Fabs.

Nearly ruined by bad narration.

Derek Taylor was a clever writer, but the million-miles-an-hour narration makes the book nearly unlistenable.

Terrible Reader

This book was hard to listen to, with the reader using a strange stop and go, pauses, and rushed narration. It was really hard to follow the book. Did the editor not notice this bad reading??

A man with not very much to say.

I have read literally dozens of Beatles books over the years, and this is by far the most useless, vapid, uninteresting and boring book of them all. I don’t know which is worse, the poor writing, or the horrible singsong narration. Save your money folks.
