The CANADIAN-BEATLES-REFERENCE-GUIDE is an email-based discussion list for anyone interested in learning about, or sharing information on, Beatles records and memorabilia released in Canada. For years, many of us have placed a Canadian reference guide at the top of our 'want list', and this forum is an opportunity for all of us to collect, sort and distribute this information to collectors around the world.

This list will only succeed if its members contribute their knowledge, feedback and opinions regularly and often. Nevertheless it is important to keep the list focused on Canadian items, as there is already a great egroup dedicated to general Beatles Collecting issues (http://www.eGroups.com/list/beatles-collecting). In this forum you are encouraged to discuss topics such as: label variations, unique pressings, Canadian concert memorabilia, release dates, valuations, etc.. In order to maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio we discourage and/or prohibit the discussion of bootleg recordings, advertising (sales lists or E-bay references), and general fan discussion. You are welcome to include web-site links and/or ask collectors to contact you directly regarding buying or selling of Canadian Beatles items.

Initially, this list will not be moderated, and all messages will be sent to all members. Thanks for dropping by, and hey…we finally got organized!
