With the Beatles: Mal Evans' Illustrated Journey – The First Publication of Mal Evans' Personal Beatles Archive of Diaries Photos and Unpublished Memoir by Kenneth Womack
( This title will be released on December 1, 2026. )
HERE is the book description from Amazon:
A four-color extravaganza from the Mal
Evans archives, including sections from his never published memoirs, his
detailed (and humorously illustrated) diaries and hundreds of unseen
photographs he took during his time with the Beatles. Truly a goldmine
of new insight into the most famous band in the world, from a man who
knew them better than most.
Malcolm
"Mal" Evans was an integral figure in the lives of The Beatles, acting
as everything from roadie and assistant to confidante and, above all
else, friend. Even after the band's split, Evans remained close to each
member as they ventured out into solo careers, though he was closest to
Paul McCartney. And through it all, he kept a detailed diary.
In
the 1970s, Mal made a deal with a publisher for a memoir, and the typed
manuscript he submitted remained in that publisher's basement until it
was discovered by a temp, tasked with cleaning out a storage unit. Along
with the manuscript, the temp discovered an amazing collection of
photographs and diaries. Instead of throwing them away as instructed,
the temp sent a letter to Yoko Ono, who quickly responded. Yoko
retrieved the materials, and returned them to Mal's family in England.
Unfortunately, Mal had taken his life years prior in a drug fueled
showdown with the police.
Now, from the author who wrote our own acclaimed Living the Beatles Legend,
comes a visual celebration of the Mal Evans archives. Once thought lost
forever, this holy grail for Beatles die-hards is being shared for the
first time. With annotated (by Ken) excerpts of Mal's memoir, the
first-hand account of life with the world's most important band through
the eyes of the man that was there for it all, and bits from his diaries
showing the comings, goings, recording schedules, and personal
appointments of John, Paul, Ringo, and George, their life as a group,
time on the road, and lives after their dissolution.
A companion to Womack's thoroughly researched and family blessed biography of Mal, Living the Beatles Legend,
now with the words of the man himself, and featuring hundreds of never
before seen photos as well, this will be a beautifully designed must-own
for Beatles lovers everywhere.
