All I can say is "WOW". This book and all the work that went into making such an enjoying and fact and information books I have ever seen on any topic. Fantastic job, Mike.

I got mine yesterday, there is nobody on this forum that should not have a copy of this! Way to go Mike!

I remember when the old G45 forum had something like 450 members. I thought at that time: If every member buys a copy, I'll break even and have $$$ leftover!

Will you have a table at Austin Record Convention this fall? Captive audience!

I think there would be at least 3 lurkers for every member...

Sympathies expressed towards the blessed Expressions. 10/10 to my ears. Occasionally collective wisdom stands at a remove from reality. At least in this instance....

Aside from that, and a few other ratings ---> ???? WOW!!!

Which of course, in large measure, defines the charm & integrity of your undertaking.

Congratulations Mike, an awesome sweep of scholarship realized to superlative effect. :)

 

[pfft]

It's here, and I can't put it down!
So far I love everything about it, and the layout is perfect - very stylish and easy on the eyes.
Congratulations Mike, it must feel great to finally hold your 'baby' in your hands.

Got my copy today - it took only 5 days to reach the UK.

It's just a wonderful thing. Thanks so much MTM !

 

[AZ54]

Let's hope it only takes one extra day to reach Holland :)

This is a book that one will continually refer back to.

Mike, you must be a feeling an incredible sense of relief at this point; 20+ years of research packed into a tangible object that one can hold in one's hands!

Got the books on Saturday....superb job on the graphic design and organization, as well as the content (I have not read much of the written parts but have been checking into the record listings and the sidebars), you exceeded my high expectations! Looking forward to many years of having this at hand!

I arrived at work this morning to find a package on my desk. I'm so excited to have Teenbeat Mayhem right here in my hands!

A quick flick through the pages gives me full confidence that the book is everything we all hoped it would be and more. There is a lot more informative text than I thought there would be, and it's going to be a great read. But the monumental importance of the book as an accurate reference for '60s garage 45s will take years to fully appreciate.

The layout is excellent and really fits the subject matter perfectly. Ben did a wonderful job (although I'm sure the look is also a reflection of Mike's personal taste and directions). It's clear and concise, packing lots of info into each page, but still very readable. The layout and font choice gives a fun and exciting feel, fitting the music perfectly. I love how the scans turned out! Tom's foreword is extremely well written, as well as hitting several nails squarely on the head. It's not waffle, it's really cool and thoughtful. Fantastic job Tom!

Mike, the overall result is superb. It's a reference book worthy of the music we love, that will almost certainly never be surpassed. I'll be awake until the early hours tonight enjoying the results of your years of dedicated work and research.

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS MIKE!

book at home, at first sight, i only can say awesome.

 

[MopTopMike]

Thanks, guys - the good reviews help to ease my aggravation due to all the errors I find when looking through the printed book.
I will be publishing corrections on my blog in a few weeks. You can easily write / cross-out / add the details in your own books. The corrections will also appear in "Beyond TeenBeat Mayhem!"
Bet you can't wait for that (or can, depending on your viewpoint)...

 

[buckeyebeat]

Mike, I have a couple corrections / changes I wanted to suggest - confirmed band locales - should I email you at the Priceless Info Press email? Or comment on the blog?

 

[AZ54]

The postman came by and made my day. It's too much. Mike, you did a hell of a job.

 

[CollectorScum]

Mike, will you be selling copies at WFMU in early Nov, and if yes, will they be discounted at all?
