About the Author

Hugh Fielder (author) can remember the 1960s even though he was there. He can remember the 1970s and 1980s because he was at Sounds magazine (RIP) and the 1990s because he was editor of Tower Records' TOP magazine. He has shared a spliff with Bob Marley, a glass of wine with David Gilmour, a pint with Robert Plant, a cup of tea with Keith Richards and a frosty stare with Axl Rose. He has watched Mike Oldfield strip naked in front of him and Bobby Womack fall asleep while he was interviewing him.

Tony Bramwell (foreword) grew up in Liverpool with Beatles George, Paul and John. His life became intertwined with The Beatles, first working for Brian Epstein at NEMS and then for The Beatles at Apple. He later represented artists such as Bruce Springsteen and promoted music for films. His memoir is called Magical Mystery Tours: My Life With The Beatles.
