The 30 Best ??? Pictures | Page 16 | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

#8. Nice Albo, I love those types of publications. Those look much more sophisticated than what was available in the US 1964. This is the first time teen magazine 16 featured The Beatles on the cover.

Yup, that was their basic layout for the 2 or 3 years that 16 was popular. Sometimes the teen mags would have the Beatles compete in a popularity contest:

I wish I could tell you who won, but unfortunately I only collected covers.

If you’re a fan @JW OBoogie you may want to join our caravan and we can ask Mike what he thinks.

Well JW, since the original Papa Nez crew isn’t active on the forum, maybe we can pool their transportation $$ into a Quantas redeye. You could be in SF by sunrise . Actually I’m going to be in that area this weekend to try and beat the 100d temps in the bay area. Maybe I’ll try to hit Sand City and take a pic of his biz.

Good one AG

Nov. 7, 1969 This one was published at the height of the PID hoax. LIFE assigned a reporter to find Paul, which he finally did at his farm in Scotland. The reporter returned with this picture proving Paul and family were safe and sound.

Jan. 9,1968 In those days I loved all things psychedelic. This is actually the last cover I recall collecting. I once had an entire photo album of mag covers, probably 50 double sided pages. When I turned 18, I left the US mainland for almost a decade. I stored everything I had collected during my teenage years at my parents house ,including lots of Beatle memorabilia and many first issue comic books including Spiderman (not to mention my drawings, poems, pictures, letters) 3 months after I left my parents separated and soon divorced. When they sold the house they tossed all my stuff (my mom said it just looked like a bunch of junk). Fortunately my brother grabbed my record collection, but that was it.

May 1, 1965

Music Life is considered the greatest music magazine ever published in Japan. The magazine’s editor Hoshika Rumikoin became the first Japanese journalist to interview The Beatles in London and then once again when the band came to Japan in 1966. Rumiko even appeared on the cover of Music Life in 1965 along with John, Paul, George and Ringo dressed in traditional Japanese attire. When her interview with the Fab Four was published the magazine sold 250,000 copies, a far cry from their usual distribution of 50,000-70,000 copies per issue.
