gebundenen Ausgabe; mit eigenhändiger Widmung von B. Spizer „To Cathy –
Best Beatles wishes Bruce Spizer 3-28-2009“. – „The Beatles Are
Coming! covers the Beatles first visit to the United States and the
events leading up to the group’s arrival on February 7, 1964. It is the
most thorough and accurate book ever published on how Beatlemania
evolved in America. The book details why Capitol Records turned down the
Beatles four times before finally agreeing to release their records. It
tells the stories of two small companies, Vee-Jay and Swan, who issued
the group’s records without success in 1963. It details the American
media coverage of the Beatles in late 1963, when Beatlemania was viewed
as a curious fad happening in England that could never catch on in the
United States. It explains how the Beatles were booked for The Jack Paar
Program and The Ed Sullivan Show, as well as two concerts at Carnegie
Hall. The book concludes with stories and pictures of the Beatles
historic first U.S. visit in February, 1964. The book contains over 450
images, including many previously unpublished photos of the Beatles“
