Hi Everybody!
I'm really excited about my new book, The Beatles
DisCovered, which is being
published in just a few weeks. I think it is my best book
yet. There is a lot of great info and hundreds of photos
(over 200 of them in color!).
The cover art was drawn by the famous underground artist,
William Stout,
specifically for the book. He calls it "The Garage Beatles".
See the attachment for a preview. And read on for more info
about the book and what is included. It is PACKED with great
information.
The bookis being published by Beatlology Inc., so you'll be
placing your book order with them (not with Belmo). See
below for ordering information.
As a bonus I'm including a CD of newly recorded cover songs
and tributes by a lot of talented musicians (including
Adrian Belew, Norton Buffalo, Bastion, and the 4Track
All-Stars). Those who have heard the CD say it is as good
(or better) than most you'll find at your local record
store. I have to agree. There is everything from rock, pop,
jazz, hip hop, soul, comedy, tributes, electronic, bluegrass
and more.
The books will be shipped according to orders received. So
the sooner you
order, the faster you will get your copy. We'll be selling
the book at the Fest in New Jersey on April 8, 9 and 10. If
you are in the area, come by and say hi.
Thanks and I hope you will enjoy The Beatles DisCovered.
Those of you who participated in the book or CD, you'll
receive your free copies in late April. If you want to order
extras, refer to the Beatlology website
Yours,
Belmo
COMING IN APRIL 2005!
