Beatles 12" Discography

HELP! is a catalogue of all Beatles-LP records released in Germany and other
German-speaking countries(Switzerland, Austria) including all major and minor
deviations that exists between the different editions.
In the process of building this reference guide, we have attempted on nearly1000
pages and in 3 books to track down some
insider secrets in order to compile an index that is as complete as possible.
Book 1 and 2 containing these 100 Beatles-LP releases, which were known by U.
Watzek’s book “Made in Germany” and
we
nearly adapted his chronology. But in our catalogue only the LP “HELP” is listed
on 35 pages.
Book 3 containing so called samplers and sampler-boxes with one or more
Beatles-songs on it.
The books are in German and English language.
Price € 129 Price in US$ or GBP upon request.
