“His first two books were given five-star reviews by Record Collector magazine and were rated “essential.” The books referenced in that quote are shown at the bottom of this post!
These two new books are published independently and the number of copies that will be in circulation or available will be determined by the demand that they generate among collectors and the public-at-large. I have Richard Noller’s two Apcor published books in my collection, and they were both very well-researched titles filled with detail not only for collectors but for the casual fan as well. The fact that Apcor published them was the pure testimony to their quality and merit!
AND NOW, THERE ARE TWO MORE
THE FIRST BOOK:
Author, Richard Noller has independently published two new books following the publication of excellent Apcor published titles. The red covered book basically deals with how the press treated and covered the band in those crucial early years of 1962-1966 which produced much of the music that appeared in the red album The Beatles 62-66!
A more detailed description appears on the back cover of the book provided below!

For UK residents this link will work and possibly other European countries but you will need to make personal inquiries if you are a potential US purchaser looking for the book! The authors email address appears near the bottom of this blog post!

THE SECOND BOOK:
The Beatles’ records manufactured in the U.K. for export are explored in detail in the blue-covered book. All label variants are shown on all available formats. The entire DP series of singles exports is explored, so too are the CPCS series of LPs. Whilst values fluctuate, some guidance is given on the rarity of the discs shown. In addition, as some copies were exported, the Let It Be box set and Get Back book are fully explored, throwing up some surprising rarities!

The first print run of the blue book is only 25 signed copies. Collector and public interest in the book will determine the ultimate number of books that will be published! Independently produced books are expensive to produce requiring a pre-order to print-on-demand as the most suitable and economic way to go in that circumstance.
In this volume covering 220 (A4) pages, presented in hardback on 130gsm sewn spine pages, The Beatles’ records manufactured in the U.K. for export are explored in detail. All label variants are shown on all available formats. The entire DP series of singles exports is explored, so too are the CPCS series of LPs. Whilst values fluctuate, some guidance is given on the rarity of the discs shown.
In addition, as some copies were exported, the Let It Be box set and Get Back book are fully explored, throwing up some surprising rarities!
Buyers of this book will be armed with the knowledge to out fox dealers! They will try to convince you that they have a Decca export LP. All these exports and contract pressings are explored, and myths debunked! If you are a dealer, this volume will give an idea if the record you wish to sell is common or hens teeth variety.

Richard Noller has informed me that only 90 copies remain of another of his excellent books published by Apcor Publishers entitled : MADE IN THE UK about UK singles! If you are interested in purchasing one of the remaining copies or for further information, please contact richardnoller@btinternet.com for the details! If you are interested in the first two books on this post and you live in the US, you can also use the above email to direct any inquiries directly to Richard Noller!
Special thanks are extended to both Seamus Hayes and Peter Sims for their assistance in bringing the two new Richard Noller Beatles books above to my attention
Be healthy and be happy!
