This book works much better as a COMPENDIUM of contradictory sources than as a definitive guide. Most glaringly, Billy Preston is credited with "organ" on Get Back, One After 909, etc., when it's obvious that only a DEAF person would be unable to hear him playing a Fender Rhodes. (Plus, I can't recall if Billy Preston played organ on ANY Beatles songs.) Sure, Mister Dowlding concedes that possibility (in very small type), but geez... Howzabout LISTENING to the SONGS maybe just once or twice...?
Plus, NONE of the Christmas records is even alluded to, not even in the appendices. But really, that omission kind of fits in with the determinedly humorless tone of the book.

Tell Me Why: The Beatles: Album by Album, Song by Song, the Sixties and After

I admit I've only read around in the book and I've liked much of it--Riley listens closely, thinks about his own reactions, and is not afraid to get out the analytic tools to parse those reactions. But smartness does at times turn to smarty-pants; there's a pleasure taken in penning sophisticated-sounding objections that seem sharp, but really miss the point of the songs' musical and verbal adroitness and playfulness. All-in-all, a book worth thumbing through, and now that it's available used, certainly worth owning. But be prepared to say "oh, come on" occasionally.
