Show Notes

In August 1963 Johnny Dean published the first issue if The Beatles Monthly. A UK magazine aimed directly at teen fans oof John, Paul, George and Ringo.

For the next 6 years it documented the activities of the group, together with song lyrics, letters and pen pal connections. With exclusive pictures and a direct link to the band. It is an an often overlooked primary source for collectors, 60 years later.

In this episode Paul and Mark discuss the background to the publication. How it began a reprinting in 1976. Before relaunching with new content in the October of 1982. Before finally calling it a day in 2003.
