Some 1964 newspaper clippings

Its 1964 and someone puts some old papers in a loft. Many years later the papers are discovered when the house is being re-wired by my friend Dilwyn.
I'm amazed at just how often the Beatles are mentioned- just about every paper features them in some way - be it in an advert or some throw away article. Here now is my selection of those old papers...

double click on the pictures to see them full size!

Hmmm. ...are these the waxworks that ended up on the cover of Sgt Pepper? I think they could be....

A selection of badges

David Bailey's Cool poster

A classic Beatle photo fatures on this poster for David Baileys photo exhibition which I went to at the Barbican. David was there and gave a talk and I got an autographed book - but this poster isn't signed.

Stamps

Are these genuine postage stamps? I'm not sure... quite nice design though - featuring photos taken by Robet Freeman.

Beatle City Mug

Beatle City was a Beatle Museum in Liverpool in the 1980s - but think it went bust...

A yellow Submarine Mug

The Yellow Submarine has attracted loads of merchandise. Heres another mug.

More Corgi Toys

Heres the rest of the Corgi Toys I own...

The Beatles Van
The Penny Lane Bus
The Newspaer Taxi...
And the Flatbed lorry

Pete Best

A present from my friend Tony who went to the Beatle Week in Liverpool in 2004 and got this
autographed card from Pete Best and a photo too.

Lennon Lithograph

A limited edition lithograph of John Lennon, signed by Yoko Ono . One of only 200 in this colour.

Silver Poster

Very difficult to photograph - printed on shiny silver paper autographed by Robert Whitaker featuring a photo from the session that produced the Butcher cover.
