Although most of the Beatles American records were released by Capitol Records and later by Apple Records, the group's initial recordings appeared on Vee-Jay, an independent label based in Chicago that specialized in blues and gospel recordings.

Songs, Pictures and Stories of the Fabulous Beatles Records on Vee-Jay is intended to serve as both a good read and a valuable reference guide for the casual music and Beatles fan as well as the serious collector. I hope you enjoy reading and using the book as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
Bruce Spizer is a lifelong native of New Orleans, Louisiana, who was nine years old when the Beatles invaded America. He began listening to the radio at age two and was a die-hard fan of WTIX, a top-forty station that played a blend of New Orleans R&B music and top pop and rock hits. His first two albums were The Coaster's Greatest Hits, which he permanently "borrowed" from his older sisters, and Meet The Beatles!, which he still occasionally plays on his vintage 1964 Beatles record player. Although he did not attend the Beatles 1964 appearance at City Park Stadium in New Orleans, he was present in Tulane Stadium when Tom Dempsey kicked his NFL record 63-yard field goal to give the Saints a last second victory over the Detroit Lions. His mother still remembers his attempts to sing along with I Want To Hold Your Hand in the car on the way to school.
During his high school and college days, Bruce played guitar in various bands that primarily covered hits of the sixties, including several Beatles songs. He wrote numerous album and concert reviews for his high school and college newspapers, including a review of Abbey Road that didn't claim Paul was dead. While at Tulane University, he served on the Board of Directors of the Mushroom, which was a highly successful student-run record store. Bruce received his B.A., M.B.A. and law degree from Tulane University. He has his own law practice and is Board Certified in Tax Law and Estate Planning and Administration. He is also a member of the Society of Louisiana Certified Public Accountants. His legal and accounting experience proved valuable in researching and writing this book. Bruce has an extensive Beatles collection, concentrating primarily on United States and Canadian first issue records, record promotional items and concert posters.
