Critique of Alan Pollack's research

[Joel Benjamin]

I am thinking of getting involved in a project to put Alan Pollack's
research into a hard copy directory. I wonder if anyone can give me
their view on whether they think their is room in the market for such
a directory of Beatles songs- and, where Pollacks' research stands in
relation to the other major Beatles scholars.

What concerns me about this, having been bitten before, is that the
originator of the work (which was astonishingly ground breaking at the
time it was done) will only be credited by a note in the preface, and
will not get the full recognition (moral and financial) that his work
deserves.

Or, less politely, don't get associated with a rip off!

I cannot agree more with Stephen.
While I would really like to see a paper copy of Alan great opus,
it should be him that appears as an author :-)

ciao, .mau.
