Rubber Soul (Advance Reader Copy)

ADVANCE READER COPY Greg Kihn continues to pioneer the ROCK THRILLER GENRE with RUBBER SOUL, a murder mystery and an action packed ride through BEATLEMANIA, featuring THE BEATLES themselves. Dust Bin Bob runs a second hand shop at the Flea Market at Penny Lane. He has an extensive rep of American R&B singles that he gets from Merchant Marines returning from Baltimore and New York. The action starts when he befriends some blokes by the name of John, Paul, George and Ringo and becomes their lifelong friend sharing the vinyl that will start a revolution. From then on, it's a rocket ride from their earliest days in Liverpool to six shows a night in Hamburg to the Cavern Club to full-fledged Beatlemania. Along the way, Dust Bin Bob uncovers a plot by Marcos loyalists to assassinate the Fab Four from in Manila after they snub snub Imelda Marcos, blowing off a reception at the palace and narrowly avoiding an international incident. It could have all happened 100% historically accurate and including previously unpublished information about the Beatles early days, Rubber Soul is inspired by Greg Kihn's radio interviews with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Pete Best, Patti Harrison, and Yoko Ono. When he asked where the Beatles got those rare American R&B records that inspired their early music, the answer was from Merchant Marines who brought them over from Baltimore to Liverpool. From a serious Beatles fan who has read every word every written about them, Rubber Soul is a wild ride through Rock 'N Roll history.
