The reference to Mark Lewinsohn is without proof

The reference to Mark Lewisohn's earlier work is flawed. The authors have never confirmed this. If there is any link to Mark Lewisohn's work than it would be the 'The Complete Recording Sessions' which was commissioned by EMI to Lewisohn in the 1980s.

The best solution is that as long any proof that the reference is confirmed by the authors remains unconfirmed to delete the sentence. WordsMatterRG (talk) 18:48, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The articles I cited show that the authors themselves have stated that Lewisohn was a key influence. For examples, in the LA Times profile, it says: "Sinclair first tapped Kozinn with the idea of commissioning biographical sketches around a 'sessionography' of all McCartney's recordings, in the style of Mark Lewisohn’s seminal The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions. But as the book kept growing, Lewisohn, himself now working on a multibook Beatles biography, suggested a full-fledged bio." The NY Times article adds that the authors "were influenced by the methods of Mark Lewisohn, the exacting Beatles historian currently at work on the second volume of a trilogy about the group." These directly link the project to Lewisohn's The Beatles: All These Years series. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 01:26, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
