From bootleg discographies to songs with the Beatles as supporting players, Allen Wiener's book is a magical mystery tour of the Fab Four's careers and recording. Contains a general chronology, US and UK discographies, a special release discography and a listing of alternate versions and bonus tracks. With the exception of the recent Anthology series, his book is a comprehensive and accurate Beatles record reference. |

Overall, this book is poorly researched and incomplete. Most of the nicest pictures are of items no one cares about. In that respect, this is far useless as a Beatles price guide. The weakness is in the pricing structure of the post-Anthology Beatles products. The author has given guidelines on value of items released since 1995 at about twice their original value. Many of these items are readily available at close to their original price in collector's circles. The values listed may be more realistic in about five years. |

A definitive account of the many technical recording variations of the
Beatles songs available commercialy. Special chapters deal with the Tony Sheridan/Beat
Brothers discs, the Star Club tape, the White Album, the "Rarities" LP's, box
sets released worldwide, special audiophile half-speed mastered discs and much more. This
is followed by a song-by-song listing of available variations of songs by both the Beatles
as a group, but also as solo artists. Many photos are included, along with song and record
title, personal name, and record number indexes. |

"Well researched and masterfully compiled, this colorful book is a
must have for Beatle record collectors and historians, as well as anyone having any
interest in the group. No matter how much you think you know about the Beatles and their
records, you'll know so much more after reading this entertaining and informative
book". Also contains chapters on fake and counterfeit 7" discs and LPs. The
section on the LPs is highly detailed and provides enough information to prevent any
reader from ever knowingly purchasing a bogus disc. |

Dedicated on original memorabilia, this
second edition is broken down in chapters : Early memorabilia, Jewelry, Buttons, Yellow
Submarine, Apple Studio, Yellow Submarine celluoids and one of a kind items. Althought
this book list a vast collection of Beatles memorabilia one thing that this book lacks is
a good description of the items - on some occasions nothing is said of the original
manufacturer or the year of production. Here and there there are fakes and nothing is said
about them being so, which may be misleading to the collector. Nevertheless, this book is
shockfull of color pictures and is a good addition to the book of Jeff, Marty & Rick. |
