HOW IS IT POSSIBLE DRUMMER JIMMIE NICOL COULD SIMPLY VANISH AFTER PLAYING WITH THE BEATLES IN 1964?

The Beatle Who Vanished is the first historical account of Jimmie Nicol, an unknown drummer whose journey from humble beginnings to saving The Beatles first world tour was only one part of his legend. Though his 13 days of fame made headlines, the true mystery of Nicol’s story is riddled with blacklisting, betrayal, drugs, divorce, bankruptcy, and a search for validation as a musician, producer, arranger, teacher, and remodeler. However, his disappearance in 1965 led many to question whether he is dead or alive.

Enjoyable book dreadful AI narration

I was excited to read this book, I decided on the audio version so I could listen to it while driving, I was particularly interested in the British Rock and roll side of it and it does not disappoint with chapters on Colin Hicks, Marty Wilde and so on, what I wasn't prepared for was the absolutely dismal AI narration, having never experienced an AI performed audiobook, I didn't notice when I purchased it, it is absolutely unbearable, in one paragraph Larry Parnes maybe pronounced as Parnezz, Pance, Parness , The word live is pronounced "liv" and Gene Vincent comes out as Jan Vincent, on top of that, every page number is included. when least expected " it was that time that Marty Wilde dot 13 was introduced...." and you get that every time there's a different page, I would definitely recommend the book, I shall be purchasing the actual book, I don't think I can take any more of the AI narration. it's absolutely distracting and really poorly done, but that takes nothing away from a very enjoyable book but I've got to stop listening at this point literally can't take any more
