Articles About Song Variations:

I have been collecting Beatles song variations since 1980.
Back then the only publication on the subject was the original Every Little Thing, by Mitch McGeary.
The 80's saw a few more attempts, followed by a radical expansion of McGeary's ELT.
Around 1990 Joe Brennan began explaining the variants using Mark Lewisohn's organizational structure.
I assisted Joe in his monumental task.
Check out his Variations Guide!

    I also work with noted author Bruce Spizer in the compilation of information for his landmark series of books on North American Beatles records. He and I completed the definitive book about British records! If you think you "already own his books," the new digital editions of Bruce's earlier books have extensive additions to them. Check out his site here.
