1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Dec-19-2006; Let It Be On Whatever Shelf You See It On; Not that my expectations were very high, but this volume in the series is a big disappointment. It often reads like a mere set list for the recording dates; and since Matteo offers very little analysis or insight, the useful information...; read full review | report as inappropriate
