Hey Jude
I figured I'd put my response here and on my talk page; not sure you'd be watching mine.

The Chris Hunt website entry is easy to find today, but it might not be tomorrow. Websites have a way of disappearing, and we need look no further than the "Hey Jude" article for evidence of that. When I was cleaning up citations on that page last week (only got about halfway through them), there were multiple broken citations involving different sites. Craig Cross, for example, took all his online stuff down and that has orphaned links all over Beatle articles. I suspect he did it because he published a book from the material. A similar thing could happen with Chris Hunt; there's no reason to suspect it but again, web sites tend to reorganize, disapppear, etc., and so references to books are better. Having both the book and the web site covers two bases: convenience now and resilience later.

I don't have the 10 Years... book and so I haven't seen it and can't cite it. I don't think general references are very useful, and in fact I would delete all of them in Wikipedia. (Just a POV on general references.) On the other hand, if you have Kindersley and you want to substitute Kindersley for Cross on those specific citations, I think that's better. Kindersley sounds like a better version of the convenience/resilience combination.
