Fly On The Wall

Author Mark Brickley’s book, Postcards From Liverpool: Beatles Moments & Memories, began with a single story. Working as a USA music writer for Noozhawk.com and the Coastal View News, Mark wrote about the backstory to the Beatles first 1962 single record. “I loved the band’s music and wanted to add something new to their written history,” Brickley said. Many unexpected Beatles experiences followed, including seeing Paul McCartney receive his “Star” on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and attending Ringo Starr’s LA Grammy Museum press conference and memorabilia exhibition. “After interviewing early Apple Records artist Jackie Lomax in Ojai, California, I saw my book emerging. Most of its Beatles related photos are my originals.”

Postcards From Liverpool was first published in 2017 and was re-released in 2019 with a new interior design/format, two dozen new photos and four new chapters, including the author’s 2018 meet-up with early Beatles drummer Pete Best. “I try to bring new information to each chapter to interest both long-term and newer fans, Brickey said. “I’ve also continued to write about the Beatles in the UK’s British Beatles Fan Club Magazine and USA’s Octopus Garden Beatles Fanzine.”

Echols contributed as lead guitarist and writer to Love's first three albums: Love, on which he is credited as co-writer of three songs; Da Capo, credited as co-writer of the side-long improvised track "Revelation;" and Forever Changes, often cited as one of the greatest rock albums of its time. Forever Changes comprised songs written by Lee and by fellow band member Bryan MacLean. The record company, Elektra Records, would only release a single rather than double album, and songs written by Echols for a possible companion album, tentatively titled Gethsemane, were never recorded by the band.
