5.0 out of 5 stars The essential reference for serious collectors of bootlegs and outtakes, January 13, 2006
By Christopher Ogle "cwogle" (Richmond, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First, what is this book NOT? It is not a history of the Beatles (buy Norman's "Shout!" instead). It is not a discography (try Weiner's "The Beatles - The Ultimate Recording Guide"). It is not a critical review of the released versions of their songs (that's Everett's "The Beatles as Musicians", but make sure you're well-versed in music theory).

So, what is it? It is the first (well, only!), comprehensive, exhaustively researched guide to the Beatles' unreleased recordings for serious collectors. It tells you exactly how many versions of each song exist, what albums (released or bootleg) have them in the best quality, and often how to tell the versions apart. Doug Sulpy has listened to every one of the 2700 or so versions and writes in a clear and witty style.

This is not to say that this book is perfect. There are a number of typos (which really hurts in a book full of reference numbers and cross-indices). A list of "next-best" sources would be appreciated, since bootlegs can be hard to find. There are several references to non-existent footnotes. The information for outtakes of the Get Back sessions are minimalist, although the author's "Get Back - The Unauthorized Chronicle of the Beatles' Let It Be Disaster" covers that period in excruciating detail.

Despite these quibbles, I still give this book five stars because there is no other book even close to it. I would let go of any or all of my other two dozen Beatles books before I would let this one go. But then, I guess I'm a "serious collector".

5.0 out of 5 stars Intakes and Outtakes, May 13, 2005
This review is from: The 910's Guide to the Beatles' Outtakes (Paperback)
Doug Sulpy's contributions to knowledge about the Beatles' creative process are simply indispensable. In this book, as well as in his painstakingly detailed account of the Get Back Sessions, and his longtime editorship of The 910 journal, he helps the Beatles fan who wants to go beyond the official "canon" of EMI/Capitol recordings find their way through the increasingly crowded ranks of easily available, but unofficial, outtake recordings.

The Beatles were the first group in the history of popular music whose every outtake was preserved in the studio vaults. They were not preserved so that we could listen to their false starts and mistakes, but rather so that we could follow the creative give and take between these brilliant musicians and their producer George Martin as every song took shape in studio rehearsals and recording sessions. Mark Lewisohn's Guide to the Beatles Recording Sessions chronicles the sessions themselves, but Sulpy's book helps the fan find the best recordings of the sessions, as well as to identify "mystery" recordings.

Highly recommended if you want a reliable guide to the underwater part of the iceberg!
