Bruce says he has no available copies of his first book, (the Vee Jay records one) and wishes he did if he could get $1500 on EBay.
He made a very enjoyable 30 minute presentation prior to the screening of Hard Day's Night, showing clips of films which established the success of the concept of rock and roll in film, beginning with Glenn Ford's "Blackboard Jungle" and how the use of Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock" in the opening of that film actually made a less-than-noticeable release become a number one hit. It was worth seeing his presentation, and hearing some of his trivia. One interesting tidbit was that HDN was screened in several obscure theaters prior to its official release date, and one of those was in Breaux Bridge, LA.
I expect to be in touch with him about some tax questions, and will tell him he has been mentioned here.
He has a number of very high quality books available and I suspect those can be found online, or get in touch with him as he is still practicing law.
Edit to add: He expects to get a copy of "Help!" from United Artists to screen next year for its 50th anniversary, and I suspect he may be working on some new publication to go with that. I was disappointed that he didn't wear his Sgt. Pepper jacket.

Crazy that he didn't keep any copies.
He did mention on 18 that the received truth in trivia about the HDN American release date is always off by several days due to the effect you mentioned.
Isn't the "If I Fell" sequence just preposterously great? This was still early-ish 1964 when they recorded it. To me, that might have been the first real signal that they were a huge cut above the competition. Almost out of nowhere, one of the most beautiful, harmonic pieces ever created...and it begins with John aping at Ringo.

As of June 2018, Yesterday by The Beatles is considered the most covered song of all time, with over 1,600 recorded versions. The song was originally recorded in 1965 for the Beatles' album Help! and was written by Paul McCartney in a dream. BMI estimates that the song was performed more than seven million times in the 20th century and remains popular today.

Yep. By then (1965 ) the adults were starting to get onboard en masse. There really was just no way to have seen such a freight train coming, although I would argue we did have plenty of hints (like If I Fell).
It's so crazy and ridiculous that even then, many folks were just focused on their fricking hair.

The Beatles at the Indra in Hamburg, Germany, 17 August 1960
A rare pic of Stu almost smiling
quote:
"On their first night in Hamburg, the band members posed for a photograph, as if to prove that they had survived the crossing. In light blazers, dark pants, and tan cowboy boots, they had not yet settled on their look, and were staring in different directions. But, on the right, the bassist was locked in, radiating an attitude of pure rock and roll. Stuart Sutcliffe’s pose might have amused the others; he had been playing bass for only seven months, and was distinctly less virtuosic than the three guitarists. Yet he had done a great deal to propel this journey across the North Sea, into the slipstream of history."

Dennis Elsas was talking about a proposed 1972 concert with john/yoko, wings and The Rolling Stones on his radio show today…I only caught the tail end but from what he was saying it was John’s idea. Obviously it never happened but does anyone know anything more about this?
first I’ve ever heard of it

Yea, there's a copy of the letter that he wrote to Paul in the new Mind Games box set.
He wanted to play at Madison Square Garden with the Stones and Wings and then travel to Ireland with the Stones.

Never heard about it before
John had expressed interest in performing at the concert for Bangladesh. However once George made it clear Yoko was welcome to attend & watch from the wings, but would not be allowed onstage, that idea died.

Yea, I've heard that also.
In hindsight, would Yoko have been worse than Ali Akbar Khan? Lol

About 2/3 into the Lewisohn book - it's pretty amazing that as of Q1 1962, they still didn't have Ringo and they still really weren't putting out hardly any originals. With Sullivan less than 2 years away, one could still have been forgiven for not thinking they would be anything other than a solid and original but ultimately not groundbreaking act.

Yea, it's amazing how they grew and progressed from 1963 forward.
I think a lot can be credited to Epstein and Martin.
...other than the raw talent and creativity that was already there.

I mean, shite, April of 1962, they have just gotten back to Hamburg for the 3rd stint. Here's what would be produced in barely more than 5 years from that date:
First 2 albums
Hard Days Night
Beatles for Sale
Help
Rubber Soul
Revolver
Pepper
+ 2 movies!
