(Courtesy Bruce Spizer)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The date of September 16, 1964 would have been just another sleepy day in the humid, sprawling complex known as the Crescent City. But for those few thousand who assembled at City Park Stadium, there was history to witness and songs to hear above the din of hundreds of young ladies screaming at the four mop-topped performers.<\/p>\n<p>The Beatles had arrived at the outdoor arena &#8220;protected&#8221; by members of the New Orleans Police Department, who had no idea of their charges&#8217; attractive nature to pre- and post-pubescent girls. The Beatles has long been fans of the fabled &#8220;New Orleans sound&#8221; &#8211; in particular the songs engineered by the late Cosimo Massina &#8211; by studio artists like Fats Domino, Little Richard and the late Larry Williams.<\/p>\n<p>Foolishly, they thought they might have time to sightsee the city, but an added concert on the tour nixed that opportunity. Their fame was so great that these weary travelers from England would never again \u2013 as a group \u2013 visit the relatively small, yet musically important city before calling their concert tours finished a little over two tours and two years later.<\/p>\n<p>One of those who longed to be in the crowd was a nine-year-old Bruce Spizer, a young Jewish New Orleanian who had repeatedly heard several of their popular songs over the local radio stations like WTIX and, as all America, had witnessed their triumphant three TV appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show in February.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18531\" style=\"width: 241px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"WTIX Beatles concert poster\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18531\" class=\"wp-image-18531 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG1-231x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG[1]\" width=\"231\" height=\"300\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 231px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 231\/300;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18531\" class=\"wp-image-18531 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG1-231x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG[1]\" width=\"231\" height=\"300\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-18531\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Even though WNOE sponsored The Beatles&#8217; historic concert, WTIX elected to distribute flyers that suggested they had sponsored the event.

To me I was disappointed I didn\u2019t get to go. It was her day, though.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spizer, is today a successful attorney, but he most certainly would regret that missed opportunity as a youngster. \u201cOf course, they never came back,\u201d he mused.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that miss, Spizer would go on to become an authority on most every aspect of The Beatles\u2019 recording careers and their personal lives. How that happened has a great deal to do with his love of the Fab Four and his skill as an attorney.<\/p>\n<p>Following several years working as an attorney at several law firms, Spizer started his own firm, specializing in taxation and estate planning, in 1984.<\/p>\n<p>He worked long hours and several years on a major class action suit in which he sued to restore a percentage of benefits to retirees at a company. His fee of $450,000 was paid by the insurance company he represented.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18532\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"Spizer at JCC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Spizer_JCC.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18532\" class=\"wp-image-18532 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Spizer_JCC-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Spizer_JCC\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Spizer_JCC-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Spizer_JCC.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/199;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18532\" class=\"wp-image-18532 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Spizer_JCC-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Spizer_JCC\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Spizer_JCC-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Spizer_JCC.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-18532\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Appearing at the JCC&#8217;s Morris Bart Sr. Memorial Lecture in August is Bruce Spizer.

There was a glaring problem caused not by beetles, but by another form of more well-known New Orleans insects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoaches had eaten the spines of my Beatles albums,\u201d he remembered. \u201cThey left \u2018Meet the Beatles\u2019 alone and they didn\u2019t touch Abba or the Beach Boys.\u201d But all the others were heavily damaged.<\/p>\n<p>Intent on replacing the<em> exact<\/em> records he had purchased as a youth some two decades earlier, Spizer started doing research to locate the replacements. When he began boning up on the subject matter, he found out about subtle and major differences between the monophonic and stereo recordings as well as variances between the recordings released by Parlophone in England and EMI and Capitol Records in Canada and the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The more he read, the more confused he became. \u201cI read up on how to spot the original records,\u201d he continued. \u201cSome of the things just didn\u2019t make any sense to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18535\" style=\"width: 206px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"Mayoral proclamation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/original-proclamation-copy1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18535\" class=\"wp-image-18535 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/original-proclamation-copy1-196x300.jpg\" alt=\"original proclamation copy[1]\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/original-proclamation-copy1-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/original-proclamation-copy1-671x1024.jpg 671w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 196px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 196\/300;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18535\" class=\"wp-image-18535 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/original-proclamation-copy1-196x300.jpg\" alt=\"original proclamation copy[1]\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/original-proclamation-copy1-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/original-proclamation-copy1-671x1024.jpg 671w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-18535\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A mayoral proclamation signed by The Beatles and issued by Mayor Victor Schiro. (Courtesy Bruce Spizer)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Research led Spizer down a long path of illumination. &#8220;That was the nice thing about having your own law practice,&#8221; he admitted.<\/p>\n<p>He began to collect albums, promotional posters, buttons, memorabilia and photos from fellow collectors and reasoned there were many other clueless Beatles fans who could benefit from what he had discovered and collected. Spizer reached out to a graphics designer and others who had publishing experience. He labored for myriad hours and prepared materials he would eventually self-publish on his 498 book label\u00a0 as &#8220;The Beatles on VeeJay Records,&#8221; the first of eight different hard cover tomes that in intricate detail have catalogued the recording careers of the most famous rock band of the Sixties era.<\/p>\n<p>He followed up the enormously popular first book with two books, &#8220;The Beatles on Capitol Records,(Volumes 1 and 2)&#8221; followed by &#8220;The Beatles on Apple Records.&#8221; He then documented events leading up to and including The Beatles&#8217; initial tour to America in 1964 (&#8220;The Beatles Are Coming&#8221;) before authoring a book on the solo work of individual Beatles under the title &#8220;The Beatles Solo on Apple.&#8221; His penultimate work was &#8220;The Beatles on Swan Song,&#8221; which was the last book regarding the domestic releases of the Fab Four.<\/p>\n<p>Spizer regards his training as an attorney and the ability to interview subjects under deposition and conduct research as among the best tools he possesses as an author. He reckons that each book took about a year from conception to publication.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I primarily was just collecting the U.S. albums and didn\u2019t collect the Parlophone Records until I started writing my book on Parlophone,\u00a0 \u201cBeatles for Sale on Parlophone,&#8221; he went on.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18545\" style=\"width: 226px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"Beatles for Sale on Parlophone\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beatles-uk-cover-front-stereo.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18545\" class=\"wp-image-18545 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beatles-uk-cover-front-stereo-216x300.jpg\" alt=\"beatles-uk-cover-front-stereo\" width=\"216\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beatles-uk-cover-front-stereo-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beatles-uk-cover-front-stereo-737x1024.jpg 737w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beatles-uk-cover-front-stereo.jpg 1734w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 216px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 216\/300;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18545\" class=\"wp-image-18545 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beatles-uk-cover-front-stereo-216x300.jpg\" alt=\"beatles-uk-cover-front-stereo\" width=\"216\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beatles-uk-cover-front-stereo-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beatles-uk-cover-front-stereo-737x1024.jpg 737w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beatles-uk-cover-front-stereo.jpg 1734w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-18545\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spizer&#8217;s latest book co-authored with Frank Daniels. (Courtesy Beatle.net and Bruce Spizer)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Not only is that is his most recent book release, but it is the first one to bear a co-author&#8217;s name. &#8220;I didn\u2019t want to do it, but people made me,&#8221; he recalled in how he began work on the British releases. &#8220;There was no book like my book on the British records and Frank Daniels, who had helped me with research on the Apple and Swan books, convinced me to write the book.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the Parlophone releases, he did acknowledge the purchase of some fairly rare Canadian releases unknown to many U.S. collectors. &#8220;One was called &#8216;Twist and Shout&#8217; and another was called &#8216;Long Tall Sally,'&#8221; he noted, comparing them to the equivalent of the &#8220;Beatles Second Album.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Like the popular trading cards of sports figures, there were three separate sets of Beatles trading cards, all of which Spizer has collected. He realizes, almost fatalistically, though, that his collection will never be finalized. &#8220;You&#8217;ll never get bored,&#8221; he mused. &#8220;It\u2019s not possible to complete your collection because there are so many things you can collect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All of this expertise has brought Spizer invitations to speak at various Beatles conventions across the globe. He has been recognized as a Beatles authority and revered for his time-consuming research. And he&#8217;s a fairly upbeat talker who makes the subject matter sparkle when he speaks.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his favorite Beatles album, there is no hesitation. &#8220;&#8216;Revolver,'&#8221; he shoots back. &#8220;It&#8217;s my favorite by far, but I like the U.K. version best, because it&#8217;s got three more songs than the U.S. version.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Today Spizer is so highly respected that he consults with EMI, Capitol and Apple Records. He even wrote some of the liner notes for a recent compact disc reissue of The Beatles work on Capitol Records. He&#8217;s even being consulted on future releases with the companies. That&#8217;s a far cry from being a closeted fan, he acknowledged.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18546\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"Beatles on Vee-Jay Records e-book\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/VeeJay2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18546\" class=\"wp-image-18546 size-thumbnail lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/VeeJay2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"VeeJay2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18546\" class=\"wp-image-18546 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/VeeJay2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"VeeJay2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-18546\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spizer&#8217;s first ebook digital release and the only way to get his first out-of-print book.
