Description
UP FOR SALE IS AN ORIGINAL MERSEYBEATS FAN CLUB MEMBER'S RELICS FROM A TIME WHEN SHE WAS OBVIOUSLY A MASSIVE FAN OF THE GROUP. IT CONTAINS FIFTEEN ITEMS. I AM SELLING AS A BUNDLE BECAUSE, FROM THE BUNDLE, ONE CAN BUILD UP A PICTURE OF A YOUNG WOMAN COMPLETELY BESOTTED WITH THE MERSEYBEATS. MAYBE A LITTLE BIT TOO BESOTTED!!! THE ITEMS ARE AS FOLLOWS:-
1. A SMALL JOURNAL/DIARY. MANY MERSEYBEATS APPEARANCES ARE WRITTEN. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE FAN SAW ALL THE APPEARANCES, BUT I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SHE DID, SHE SEEMS QUITE A FAN!!! A COUPLE OF THE PAGES HAVE BEEN SIGNED BY THE GROUP. THERE ARE SOME DIARY TYPE ENTRIES OF WHICH I HAVE SHOWN SOME BUT NOT ALL. YOU WILL SEE WHY SHOULD YOU BUY THE ITEMS. A VERY INTERESTING THING. I WISH I COULD SHOW YOU MORE OF IT. NOT IN THE GREATEST CONDITION BECAUSE THE FAN TAPED SOME MERSEYBEAT CUTTINGS ON SOME OF THE PAGES. AS YOU KNOW, SELLOTAPE BECOMES HORRIBLE AFTER A LONG TIME AND SOME OF THE PAGES ARE STUCK TOGETHER, STILL A GREAT THING THO'.
2. A TICKET FOR ONE OF THE DATES FROM THE ABOVE JOURNAL. FROM THE GRAFTON BALLROOM, LIVERPOOL. DATED 7th JULY 1965. VERY GOOD CONDITION.
3. STREET DIRECTORY FOR LIVERPOOL INCORPORATING A EASYFIND MAP OF THE CITY. EXCELLENT CONDITION.
4. MAP OF LONDON. EXCELENT PLUS CONDITION.
5. BUS TIMETABLE FOR BETWEEN MANCHESTER AND DERBY WITH FARE PRICES ON REVERSE. EXCELLENT
6. TIMES TAKEN FROM THE MANCHESTER/DERBY ITEM ABOVE HANDWRITTEN BY THE FAN. EXCELLENT.
7. LANCASHIRE/LAKE DISTRICT/CARLISLE BUS TIMETABLE. EXCELLENT.
8. BRITISH RAIL FARES AND TRAVEL SCHEDULE TO BUTLINS HOLIDAY CAMP, PWLLHELI. OF COURSE THERE IS A STRONG BEATLES CONNECTION AS RINGO WITH HIS PREVIOUS GROUP, RORY STORM AND THE HURRICANES, WERE THE RESIDENT GROUP THERE BEFORE HE JOINED THE BEATLES. PENYCHAIN WAS THE TRAIN STATION ON THE HOLIDAY CAMP SITE. EXCELLENT PLUS.
9. A POSTCARD BOUGHT BY THE FAN AT NEWCASTLE CENTRAL STATION AFTER SEEING THE MERSEY'S AUGUST 1964. SHE WRITES THAT SHE SLEPT IN THE LADIES WAITING ROOM. EXCELLENT PLUS.
10. A SHEET OF DOODLES AND SKETCHES BY THE FAN. EXCELLENT.
11. A FAN CLUB/AGENCY PROMO PHOTO OF THE GROUP IN THEIR FRILLY SHIRTS. TAPE MARKS ON ALL OUTER EDEGES. VERY GOOD CONDITION.
12. MERSEYBEATS PHOTO CUTTING. DOODLING ON REVERSE. TAPE MARKS. VG.
13. BIRTHDAY CARD TO THE FAN FROM A FRIEND. POEM OF THE FAN'S MERSEYBEAT WORSHIP INSIDE. IN ORIGINAL ENVELOPE. EXCELLENT.
14. NOTE TO THE FAN FROM ANOTHER FRIEND THAT BILLY (KINSLEY?) NOT ON AT CAVERN. CAROL UNABLE TO COME. SEE YOU SUNDAY. THERE ARE THREE OF THESE NOTES. ALL SIMILAR BUT DIFFERENT TOO.
15. A LITTLE NOTEPAD OF SKETCHES, DOODLES. SOME "INTERESTING" STUFF. LOOKS LIKE SOME AUTOGRAPHS BUT MY HONEST OPINION IS THAT THE FAN HAS TRIED TO IMITATE THEM. EXCELLENT.
I HAVE INCLUDED AS MANY SCANS AS I AM ALLOWED SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THEM.
I'M SURE YOU'LL AGREE THAT ALL THESE ITEMS TOGETHER PAINT A GREAT PICTURE OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE A HUGE FAN OF THE MERSEYBEATS.
A RARE AND INTERESTING LOT FOR 1960s BRITISH POP FANS AND COLLECTORS.
ALL ITEMS SENT OUT ON SATURDAY MORNING BY SIGNED FOR/INSURED SHIPPING.
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF I CAN BE OF ANY FURTHER HELP.
