I have been collecting Beatles song variations since 1980. When I started collecting, the only publication on the subject was the original Every Little Thing, by Mitch McGeary, who has been a pioneer in the variations-collecting field.
Not long afterward, Jeff Russell's Beatles on Record appeared in mass market, drawing more attention to the fact that there were often several mixes of various songs out there.
The 80's saw a few more attempts, followed by a radical expansion of McGeary's ELT,which still remains the best book on the subject.
Following the publication of Mark Lewisohn's Beatles Recording Sessions in 1988 -- a book which did not attempt to explain recording variations -- Joe Brennan began the task of explaining the variants using Lewisohn's day-by-day organization as a guide. Joe Brennan's work on their collective career can only be considered stupendous, the pinnacle to-date of variations guides, and the first to be entirely published on the Internet. I assisted Joe in his monumental task.
Check out his Variations Guide on the Web! Also read theIntroduction to the work.
I also assist noted author Bruce Spizer in the compilation of information for his landmark series of books on North American Beatles records. He and I have just completed a new book about British records! Check out his site here.
