I have no idea.  The site was recommended to me by another RMB poster
around the time I started posting to RMB in response to a question I
had.  I forget who it was, maybe Paramucho??  Anyway, on the occasions
where I've had opportunities to compare it with other sources it seemed
accurate for the most part, with a few glaring exceptions.

I bought Lewisohn's "The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions" in the
hopes that it would have first-hand documentation of this sort of
information.  Alas, I was mistaken.
