Customer Reviews

The ultimate review of The Beatles unreleased recordings!

I really enjoyed Black Market Beatles. The book recaps the history of bootlegging and incorporates how The Beatles treasures leaked out to bootleggers. The incredible amount of original research sets this book apart from the usual cut-and-paste books about the group. This one breaks new ground, unearthing in the bootlegger's own words how they stole tapes. The book completes the historic picture of unfinished works of this century's most important rock band.

if your into beatle bootlegs buy this book

though the authors do not review individual records they give overviews of what is used to make them. they also include a chapter on what our boys thought on the subject(john was a collecter). most enlightening are the interveiws with the bootleggers themselves.
