5.0 out of 5 stars The debate rages; the book is still invaluable, December 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The 910's Guide to the Beatles Outtakes (Paperback)

A year and a half after I wrote my original review, I am amazed at the controversy that still rages over this book. Believe it or not, it is *not* titled "A Non-Hardcore Fan's Discography To The Stuff They Did Release." It is called the "Guide to Outtakes." That means stuff that *didn't* come out. It is *not* for the average fan, nor does it claim to be. Any "general" fan stupid enough to shell out $30 for a book on "outtakes" when they really wanted a discography deserves to lose their money! For the hardcore collector, it *is* a five-star book. Some have claimed that people like Allen J. Weiner's books are actually better; I'd love to see those fans try and identify a version of "Don't Let Me Down" with just Weiner's help. While you're struggling to do that, I'll be organizing a complete and non-superfluous collection with the help of Doug Sulpy's *third* edition, to be published soon. The reviews on this page have separated the collector wheat from the chaff; I hope all the one-star readers are getting thrills from fluff like "Every Little Thing"; I'm too busy listening to the Beatles to waste my time with anything but the best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding book, May 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The 910's Guide to the Beatles Outtakes (Paperback)

I am sorry for those not-so-bright who bought a book which has "guide to the Beatles outtakes" on the TITLE and complain about the fact that it's an outtake guide. This is a superb guide, this guy had the pacience and skill to compare various sources for Beatles outtakes and tell us which one sounds better. Not to mention that it tells us collectors what *exists* and what is unavailable so we can guide ourselves among so many bootleg CDs. There is even space beside each outtake that mark whatever I already have.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC BOOK ON BEATLES STUDIO OUTTAKES, August 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The 910's Guide to the Beatles Outtakes (Paperback)

A real gem of a book. Its too bad that a few ringers ( obviously record execs or their hack lawyers) had to denigrate the book. It is an exceptional reference if you enjoy listening to the first rehearsals of Help! and scores of other Beatle hits. A great insight into how these recordings made the light of day, much to the delight of hardcore Beatle fans!!! I strongly suggest securing a copy and enjoy.
