The Ultimate Beatles Research and Pricing Guide..

Perry Cox is the world renowned expert on Beatles records and other collectibles. The man simply has an encyclopedic knowledge of their recordings. This is the ultimate pricing and descriptive guide to their records, covering vinyl in all forms issued in the USA (which means it doesn't cover import versions) and CDs, with other collectibles touched on in its final pages. The emphasis here is clearly on Beatles LPs, EPs, 45s, and CDs, both group efforts, and solo releases. If you are a Beatles collector or want to start a collection, or learn how much your existing collection could be worth, this is the book you want and need. There is no other reference that can touch it. Some of the photographs are poor, but I'd chalk that up more to the printing process than anything. If you need to know EVERY variation of Sgt. Pepper's that Capitol/Apple ever released, or the nuances of the differences in all the pressings of any other Beatles LP, EP, 45, or CD that you can think of, this is your book. Perry's long essay on the "Butcher Cover" version of Yesterday and Today is, alone, worth the price of admission. With prices of Beatles collectibles still soaring, with vinyl getting more and more valuable as the years go by, you need to be armed out there in the marketplace, whether you are buying or selling. You can't do any better than to foray out there with this book in hand.

Go Perry Go!!

The DEFINITIVE Beatles price guide...Exhaustive info-fest on ALL U.S. Beatle and Beatle related stuff. Great info regarding counterfeit items and label variations. Although this wouldn't be considered a "coffee table" book, the pics are FINE and the eight page color section is a nice touch. Mindboggling in it's scope and obviously a labor of love, the Official Price Guide To The Beatles: Records and Memorabilia is a great read for ANY Beatles fan, and has probably sent many Beatles collectors back to the basement to re-evaluate their records...

Useful And Informative; Don't Leave Home Without It!

The previous red-cover edition of this book was known as "The Red Bible" among collectors and dealers. This new edition, sporting an attractive blue cover, is more than an update of prices. It is an improved guide that adds new items and corrects misinformation that has appeared in Beatles books and record price guides since the beginning of recorded Beatles history. In addition to pricing thousands of records, tapes, CDs and memorabilia items, the book contains entertaining feature articles. You'll need this book every time you go to a record show or flea market as well as when you consider making on-line bids. This will quickly be known as "The Blue Bible."

The Best of the Beatle's Guides

This price guide covers the Beatles in a clear and informational manner. The prices are very realistic and helpful. The articles on the major rarities are outstanding. The information on albums such as "Introducing the Beatles" on Vee Jay Records clear the fog of mystique. Richard Cummings Post-Age Collectibles Seattl
