Description
UP FOR SALE IS THE VERY FIRST ISSUE OF MIDLAND BEAT. VERY SIMILAR TO IT'S MORE FAMOUS COUSIN, MERSEY BEAT, THIS NEWSPAPER COVERED THE EARLY 1960s MIDLANDS BEAT, POP AND MUSIC SCENE. IT IS A CRACKING MAGAZINE/NEWSPAPER. SLIGHTLY SMALLER THAN TABLOID SIZED WITH TWELVE PAGES, ALL DEDICATED TO THE GROUPS, SINGERS, SHOWS AND CONCERTS THAT WERE ALL PART OF A THRIVING SCENE IN THE MIDLANDS OF THE EARLY 1960s. CONTENTS INCLUDE:-
RARE AND EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE BEATLES' JOHN LENNON WHEN THE GROUP WERE IN THE MIDLANDS FOR ONE OF THOSE EARLY ONE NIGHTERS.
BRUM BEAT HITS THE CHARTS - MIDLANDS GROUPS DOING WELL IN THE MUSIC CHARTS.
ROCKIN' BERRIES BACK HOME FROMTHE CONTINENT.
THE STRANGERS WIN TALENT CONTEST.
LOCAL GROUPS IN HAMBURG.
EARLY SPENCER DAVIES WITH THE R&B QUARTET.
INTRODUCTION OF MEGAN DAVIES AS GIRL BASSIS WITH THE APPLEJACKS.
THE BRUM KAVERN CLUB AND THE BRUM BEAT CAVERN CLUB.
LOCAL JAZZ AND LOCAL COUNTIES MUSIC SCENES.
MIDLANDS GROUPS ON ITV TELEVISION CHANNEL.
THERE IS ALSO SO MUCH MORE IN THIS PAPER. ADVERTS FOR GROUPS, VENUES, AGENCIES, INSTRUMENTS, MANAGEMENT AND PROMOTERS. THIS IS AN AMAZING PIECE OF HISTORY.
THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS ITEM IS IT'S CONDITION. IT IS SUPERB. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT THESE EARLY MUSIC PAPERS WERE PRINTED ON POOR STOCK PAPER. THIS EXAMPLE IS SHARP, STRONG WITH NO TEARS, RIPS WRITING, CUT OUTS OR SPLITS. IT HAS BEEN FOLDED AND THE SPINE IS NOT MINT BUT IS STRONG, UNBROKEN AND COMPLETE. I DOUBT VERY MUCH YOU COULD FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THIS PUBLICATION LET ALONE THE VERY FIRST ISSUE.
SURELY A MUST FOR ANY COLLECTOR OF 1960s BEAT AND POP MUSIC MEMORABILIA. THERE MAY BE SEVERAL REFERENCES HERE TO ARTISTS THAT WOULD GO ON TO MASSIVE SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE. I'M AFRAID THAT I'M NOT AN EXPERT. A WONDERFUL THING. I HAVE SUPPLIED PHOTOS OF ALL THE PAGES.
ALL ITEMS SENT OUT ON SATURDAY MORNING, WELL PACKED AND BY RECORDED DELIVERY IN THE UK AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR SHIPPING OVERSEAS. FREE SHIPPING IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
