Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not just another Beatles Book
This book along with all of Bruce Spizer's books are awesome with a capital "A". Every Beatle fan should own Bruce's books. Me being born the year The Beatles conquered America and not being old enough to buy most of these records, these books have really educated me. I don't look at Bruce Spizer's Books as just Beatles books, they are history lessons. These books will be the prize of your library.

Rating:  - who is this book for?
These reviews are very misleading... they led me to purchase this book! Once I got a copy I was beyond disappointed: this book is an extensive collection of record labels. Little more. I mean, who is this for? People who are interested in how 45s got labeled (or often mislabeled) in the 60s? When is says "Beatles story ON capitol records", it means literally.
Rating: - AN AMAZING JOURNEY BACK INTO BEATLEMANIA - PART 1
This was the first Bruce Spizer book that I had bought. It is an amazingly enjoybale piece of work to behold. The thoroughness of the man is never in question and the quality of the book puts many others to shame. The label reproductions are wonderful and helpful if you've bought the original US singles. I've since determined that I've probably picked up a couple of fake Beatles 45's along with the bunch of many originals that I acquired a few years back. Buyer beware but that's luck of the draw ...
