The purpose of Beatles Today is to bring together the viewpoints of many renowned Beatles experts and celebrities, providing one place Beatles fans can visit to read about their favorite group, and discuss each article with other fans on the site's Reader Comments pages.The premiere issue of Beatles Today brings together noted Beatles Historian Martin Lewis and famed Beatles author Bruce Spizer. Martin Lewis is producer of multiple Beatles-related projects including the DVD Edition of "A Hard Day's Night" and the DVD "The Ed Sullivan Shows Featuring The Beatles", and was US marketing strategist for the Beatles' "Anthology" and "Live At The BBC" projects for EMI. Bruce Spizer is author of the critically acclaimed books, The Beatles Records on Vee-Jay, The Beatles' Story on Capitol Records parts 1 & 2, The Beatles on Apple Records, The Beatles Solo on Apple Records, and The Beatles Are Coming! The Birth of Beatlemania in America, and served as an official consultant to Capitol Records on The Capitol Albums Volumes 1 and 2, and wrote the essay contained in the Capitol Albums Volume 2 booklet.In his new article on Beatles Today, Bruce Spizer takes a close look at the American mixes of Beatles songs, the truth about what Capitol did and did not do to the Beatles on the American albums, and details much interesting information about the stereo and mono tracks on Capitol Albums Volume 1 and 2, including how the now infamous "mono mixdown error" possibly occurred.Martin Lewis looks back at the impossible story of why the Beatles endure to this day when every other musical act of the day lasted no more than two years, and how the internet is responsible for carrying on the Beatles' message to ever-new generations.Also in this first issue of Beatles Today, Beatles author, documentarian and musician Seth Swirsky discusses one of the secrets of what makes the Beatles music much more meaningful to the history of music than today's other popular artists, and David Haber presents an article about using some neat technical tricks to uncover parts of the Beatles recordings that most fans have never heard before, including audio clip excerpts of examples of tracks from the new Capitol Albums box sets.In the coming months, Beatles Today plans on more articles from the site's current contributors, plus additional Beatles experts and celebrities.About the new site, David Haber says, "I think this is the beginning of an exciting new opportunity for Beatles fans, both those old enough to remember the Beatles when they first broke into the consciousness of the world in 1964, and those new fans who are just now discovering and loving the music. Instead of individually surfing the web to read about the Beatles, the new site will allow all Beatles fans to come together, in friendship and love. Like John said, 'Now I've got it, the word is good. The word is Love.'"
