Book Reviews of The Beatles Swan Song: "She Loves You" & Other Records

Book Review: Beatles, Beatles Everywhere . . .
Summary: 5 Stars

What more can be said about Mr. Bruce Spizer, the New Orleans resident and Beatles historian? This sixth, and final, book in his critically acclaimed series of books about the American-released records from The Beatles is unlike anything else in literary history. What this man has accomplished is a sheer work of genius. This book, "The Beatles Swan Song: 'She Loves You' & Other Records" brings a very fitting close on a great work. In this volume, Mr. Spizer goes into great detail about The Beatles' records that were released on the Swan, United Artists, Decca, MGM, Metro, Atco, Clarion, and Polydor labels in the U.S.A. during the mid-to-late 60s, when all of these labels tried to jump onto the Beatles bandwagon only after the group became successful in America. Swan had the rights to release the "She Loves You" single, while United Artists equally did the same with their version of the "A Hard Day's Night" album. With every known existing variation of picture sleeves, album covers, record labels and other promotional materials, Spizer has once again conquered this subject matter on a grand scale. Just as informative is his chapters devoted to the Capitol releases during the 70s and 80s. Featured are "Rock 'N' Roll Music", "Love Songs", "The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl", "Rarities", "Reel Music" "20 Greatest Hits", "Past Masters" and the British-configuration albums from 1988. There is also noteworthy installments about the unreleased "Sessions" LP from the mid-80s; the reissue singles and albums showing all label variations; picture discs and colored vinyl; Mobile Fidelty Sound Lab; and even updated information regarding the original Vee-Jay, Capitol and Apple releases. Altogether, this book brings a fitting conclusion to an excellent body of work.
