Finally, “The Beatles On Vee-Jay” makes a triumphant return! This was the very first Bruce Spizer book that I ever purchased. Now, it is a thrill to have it back, once again. Way to go!

Great to see the Vee-Jay book made available digitally. It is also nice to see that there will be digital updates. And last, it means I no longer have to continue to wreck my original hard cover edition from scanning pictures, checklist, etc. Hopefully this is a process that is going to continue and the one that is really screaming for a digital edition is the price guide co-authored with Perry Cox. Hopefully it could also contain some kind of method of cataloging our collections along with updates as new findings occur and prices change. But first things first, looking forward to the digital Vee-Jay.

Bruce, Will the VJ e-book just be available as a download or will it be available as a PDF file on disc as well? Thanks,

Comment on Beatles For Sale on Parlophone Records by Michael Shoshani

I just received my copy (stereo cover) yesterday. This is a truly encyclopedic work of art. I was completely unsurprised that, while the book is devoted to Parlophone issues, Mr. Spizer also included representations of the Capitol albums derived from the Parlophone albums. That was a nice touch, and a very completist one.

It was also nice to see the Parlophone issues of Capitol albums, intended for other foreign markets; that in itself should put to rest the story that George Martin and/or The Beatles somehow disapproved of or otherwise protested the packaging and marketing of Capitol Beatles albums.

Thank you, Messrs Spizer and Daniels. This book is amazing. I was also very happy to read the back cover testimonial by Tony Barrow. That it meets the approval of so legendary a figure in The Beatles’ history is a wonderful boost.

Got the book for Christmas. Great, as always, Mr. Spizer. Just need Beatles on Vee-Jay now to complete my Spizer collection. Keep up the good work. Each volume has been a treat to the eyes and memory.

Limited edition Stereo arrived today and it is wonderful! I was thinking, maybe he should now do ALL the UK Apple releases and there they are. Well The Fab fours anyway ! But that’s an idea for the future Bruce eh? This is very detailed and I’ll be scouring my record collection in minute detail to see if I have that elusive gem. What a superb tome. Well worth the wait. I’ll be the envy of all the Beatles afficionados here in Perth, Western Australia. This combined with my other fantastic book from Joachim Noske pretty much covers everything and anything I could wish to know about the Fab4. Cheers mate !

Congratulations and thank you very much for so formidable book.

I have received my Collector’s Edition Mono Cover (#129/200) and really I have remained amazed by the quality of information, the care that you have put in every section and the detail of each item that comes with this edition (poster, bookmark, limited edition Eric Cash print, etc); when you start reading it you can’t stop to enrich your knowledge, are 444 pages full of invaluable information and that show us the real behind the scenes of every Beatles record.

Bruce, I have all your books, from ” The Beatles Records On VeeJay “, the books about Capitol Record, SWAN Record, Apple Record, etc and I could not fail to have this gem in my Beatles Library. I am very proud to have a book like this.

Bruce, we need more Beatles books like this!!!

Thank you very much

Comment on Meet Bruce by David Newhouse

As the drummer in Bruce’s high school band and one of the friends he got more than a little help from, I’d just like to say that Bruce actually had a pretty decent voice (unlike me) – tho he was a better rhythm guitarist. But while we were fellow Beatle fanatics in high school, Bruce already put me to shame. How badly? In our senior year, I was on our school’s team for a high school TV trivia show. Bruce was in the audience. One audio question was, “Which one of the Beatles sings this song?” What with the lights and the pressure and all, I heard the guitar intro, the word “I” and buzzed. “George Harrison,” I said. “Right!” the host said in amazement. After the show, Bruce came up to me and said (with a smile) “What took you so long!” The song was “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and the thing was, he was right. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t gotten it during the opening bars. Bruce would have. Of course, now he’d not only know the song – he’d know the date, the time, the take, the mix, and probably the brand of Clapton’s cigarette when he recorded the solo.

To Bruce & Frank,

What a FANTASTIC JOB you both did on this latest volume of work. I expected nothing less than what you done in the past, Bruce.
You’ve exceeded with Mr. Daniels assistant to produce yet another EXCEPTIONAL BOOK that I am PROUD to display in my library.

Thank you both to another INVALUABLE addition to my BEATLES LIBRARY !!!!!

Bruce, please count me in as a potential VeeJay book purchaser, guaranteed. Have all the others, just never realized this one would sell out as fast as it did. My Bad!

If the mono cover is indeed more popular it will probably be due to the fact that most people buying original copies of the vinyl LP in the mid-1960s will have bought the mono issue. It’s a nice touch to have both available though. I wonder which one we’ll get at outlets here in GB as I see no sign of a choice yet, nor any mention of signed copies.
