Summary: Must Have for Any Beatles Collector
Comment: I could not put this book down. It was like reading a mystery novel. Strange thing to say about a "coffee table" book. It not only covers the tiniest details for the avid collector (such as record number, label typeface, and pressing location), but also covers details about when and how the music was made (such as what recording studio was used, the dates the recordings were made, who was in the studio, who played what, etc.). I was lucky to have met Bruce Spizer and get an autographed copy. I look forward to reading his other books.

Summary: Can't wait for Apple volume 2
Comment: I'll keep this simple. If you are a Beatles collector and you don't have everthing Bruce Spizer publishes on them, you are missing the best books on the subject matter. Period. With full color beautiful reproduction on every page, it's just like having the real item in front of you. Informative and essential text too, don't think twice, get them while you can.

Summary: E IS FOR EXCELLENT, EXHAUSTIVE & ENJOYABLE!
Comment: I received this book a couple of days ago with it's Vee-Jay companion (see my seperate review of that one). Like his other books including the Capitol Volumes, Bruce Spizer takes us where no one has gone before. You get a real history lesson with his works. This particular volume answers a lot of questions. The "Hey Jude" LP's release was always mystery especially as it was released here in Australia as part of The Beatles regular catalogue. I've wondered why 1964's "Can't Buy Me Love" & "I Should Have Known Better" had been included as they seemed out of place on that LP next to the other 8 tracks as those recordings came from 1966-69 era and particularly at the expense of "The Inner Light" & "Get Back". Bruce answers that question and so many more. The depictions of the originally planned "Get Back" covers are wonderful and it's kind of a pity that that cover wasn't retained when "Let It Be" was released eventually. Skipping ahead to the Anthology stuff and while I'm glad I bought CD & the vinyl 45's of "Free As A Bird" & "Real Love", I now wish I'd done the same with the Anthology LP's instead of just buying the CD's. I'll have to hunt around now. Overall Bruce Spizer has outdone himself yet again especially with his massive attention to detail which is never an issue with this author. However Bruce, how about a section somewhere (or even another book!) on the Capitol/Parlophone compilations of the 70's & 80's after Apple was suspended/ceased in 1976 - Namely "Rock 'n' Roll Music", "Love Songs", The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl" (though this was probably covered in the Capitol Albums book) "Rarities" (US Version), "Reel Music", "Beatles Ballads" & "20 Greatest Hits". These particular albums probably merit something of a mention in their own right. In the meantime I really look forward to his "Apple - The Solo Years Book" in 2004. As I've said elsewhere, if you're a diehard Beatles fan or a just a collector of great Rock Music books, then you should have this one gracing your collection.
