Book Reviews of The Beatles on Apple Records
Book Review: Bruce just keeps getting better and better! Incredible book!
Summary: 5 Stars
That's it!!!... I'm never going to say... "It just can't get any better" anymore.... I've said that about Bruce's previous offerings of "The Beatles Story On Capitol Records: Part One, The Singles" and "The Beatles Story On Capitol Records: Part Two, The Albums". I have to stop saying that because Mr. Spizer continues to improve his already phenomenal books with each successive volume he releases! So I'll retire that line until he's sure he's written his last book which I hope is not for a good long time! Bruce has already raised the standards for all record history publications to lofty heights, but with his new release titled perfectly, THE BEATLES ON APPLE RECORDS, he has shot the standard to the stratosphere! The book truly captures the look and spirit of Apple, from its cleverly stunning cover, which mimics a Hey Jude single in its sleeve, to the titles of the sections, A is for Apple, S is for Singles, L is for LPs, etc. These nice touches highlight the attention to detail found in all of Bruce's books.
Also retained with this new offering, is the quality cover construction. And the nice large 9 1/4" x 12 1/4" size is a perfect companion to his previous offerings making all his books together a great matched and chronolized set! This was certainly great early planning on Bruce's part. Indeed, he has a great knack for consistency, and you can clearly see this most enjoyable and useful characteristic in all of his books. Inside is simply more photos and information on the Beatles U.S. (and some Canadian Apple Records) than has ever been in any of the next 10 books ever done put together! I'd love to detail the many incredible photographs and listings and stories for you, but I simply don't have the space here for it! Suffice it to say you will see and read about items you never knew existed before and see them showcased so beautifully and brilliantly that you won't be able to put this book down till you have seen it all! While reading and viewing the incredible high quality pictures, you feel as if somehow Bruce was able to put the actual records in this book! You get the sense you want to lift them off and put them in your collection! And that's just the main titles.... He also has filled these high gloss pages with hundreds of supporting pictures and details.
Bottom line, this book is simply the best book I've seen ever seen or read on Beatles records and I'm sure it will remain that way until his next book! To Bruce I say... "Go get em buddy! Keep up the good work and I'm proud to call you my friend and colleague in the Beatles record world! To fans and collectors everywhere I say....."For [the price], you're getting a real treasure trove of information and stunning photography you simply could not compile yourself for 100 times that amount!." Mr. Spizer has set the same standard on his books that the Beatles did on their music! Sensational and the best there is!!!
Summary of The Beatles on Apple Records
"The Beatles on Apple Records" tells the stories behind the entire Beatles catalog on Apple Records from "Hey Jude" and "The White Album" through "Anthology" and "Beatles 1." The book opens with John and Paul's visit to New York in May, 1968, to promote the Beatles home-grown business venture, Apple Corps. After covering the rise and fall and triumphant return of Apple, the book moves on to the Beatles records released by Apple in America, providing complete songwriting, session and chart information and showing images of all picture sleeves, album covers, labels, ads and promotional posters and displays, all in full color. There are three chapters on the January, 1969 sessions that eventually evolved into the "Let It Be" album and film. These chapters analyze and clarify this confusing phase of Beatles history and review the music recorded during and records released from these sessions. The book also covers the annual Christmas records issued by the group's fan club. The book has over 800 images (color and original black & white) throughout its 310 pages.History & Criticism Books
