The Fest For Beatles Fans 2010 – short chat with Happy Nat

This is a short n’ silly interview of me given by Judith Kristen (author of A Date With A Beatle) at The Fest For Beatles Fans in Chicago, for airplay on Fab 4 Radio (the Internet station of choice on this site). Judy embarrassed me by calling me the Johnny Carson of Beatles radio (I was about to die laughing, but held it in). Anyway, The Fest was quite the party!

The Fest For Beatles Fans 2010 – ‘Something New’ from Bruce Spizer

If you’re a Beatles collector of the American vinyl releases, then you’re undoubtedly aware of the incredible series of reference books on the subject by Bruce Spizer. Over the years, Bruce has redefined how the American Beatles and early post (solo) Beatles records are categorized by serious collectors and his knowledge on the subject allowed him to be the writer of the liner notes that accompanied EMI’s box set The Capitol Albums Vol. 2 (including remastered CDs of the US albums The Early Beatles, Beatles VI, Help! and Rubber Soul). More info on Bruce’s books can be found on his website at http://www.beatle.net. I had a few minutes to speak with Bruce in Chicago at the 2010 Fest For Beatles Fans this weekend (on behalf of Fab 4 Radio), and Bruce let me in on his plans for a NEW BOOK to come out next year covering UK releases. Have a listen to what Bruce has to say…

The Fest For Beatles Fans 2010 – Some words with Judith Kristen

Praise for Judith Kristen’s A Date With A Beatle:

A Date With A Beatle is a rollicking roller coaster of a ride as a fiesty female sets her sights on the Beatles – George in particular – during the Fab Four’s first American trip. Films such as: I Want To Hold Your Hand and Secrets tried to capture the moment with fiction fans, but this is the real thing. I found it fascinating.

Billy Harry, founder of Mersey Beat

I had the honor of interviewing Judith for Fab 4 Radio, while at the 2010 Fest for Beatles Fans, and it was great fun because I had only just finished her book a few weeks ago.

If you are into the Beatles you won’t be disappointed. Especially if you are a second (or later) generation fan and weren’t there to catch the madness, the first time around.
