Rating: Summary: Beatles on Vee-Jay is a miracle! Review: This is a definitive Beatles book. I am so thankful for Mr. Bruce Spizer for coming up with such an excellent source of material, and handily placing it together into one magnificent hard-bound volume. The full-color illustrations are out-of-this-world! I never knew that so many different label and jacket variations ever existed before this. The very day that I purchased this book, I also purchased what I consider to be THE ultimate companion album; an imported CD by The Beatles, entitled "The V-J Story", which contains ALL sixteen original Beatles songs first issued on the V-J label. The good news is that ALL sixteen songs are in beautiful stereophonic sound (with the exceptions of "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You", which are only monophonic recordings electronically reprocessed into "fake" stereo). Nonetheless, this CD makes a perfect companion to Mr. Spizer's book. By all means, get this disc if you ever come across it.
Rating: Summary: Complete, phenomenal content. A collectors must have. GREAT Review: Virtually everything one needs to know about the Beatles on Vee Jay is here. It's fantastic. You can't put this book down once you've started reading it. An excellent reference, and a must have for any Beatles fan or collector.
