T.V. Guide covers
« on: August 12, 2005, 03:29:27 AM »
Hey folks, The Beatles are on the cover of T.V. guide this week commemorating the 40th anniversary of the the Shea Stadium concert. The are previously unpublished photos, an article and four different covers to choose from one of each beatle. I just had to buy the cover with John on it.

They might be cool I guess, but its a pretty shameless way to sell extra copies.

^ Yeah, but the real shame is nobody is broadcasting this concert on this 40th anniversary. TV Guide usually does special covers to cash in on a televised special event as with the recent Elvis specials. You would think that one of the major broadcast companies would have done a special on the Shea concert with remastered video and sound and maybe some interviews with the surviving Beatles and others affiliated with the concert. But alas, they have dropped the ball again.

They probably weren't given permission. The Beatles and co. seem to be very stingy these days. When's the last time you saw a Beatles movie on tv? Probably Anthology. And that was a tease so we'd all go and buy the full length version. I'd bet anything any of the major networks would die for a chance to play the Shea concert. They know how many viewers it would get!

Agree, I have another example:

"R.E.M. and IPC Media's Uncut have signed a unique deal in which three different portraits of the band will appear on the August front cover and each of the three band members have compiled a CD of their favourite music, which will be given away with the issue.

As well as three different cover portraits for the front cover taken from three distinct phases in the band's 25-year history, each CD will have a different cover."

So that means I now have to buy 3 copies of the same magazine. And here in Iceland they are very expensive. 55$ for the 3 copies. I know it

This is not fair. Americans have The Beatles on their TV Guide cover, and what do we Canadians have? Coronation Street!

DAMN YOU CANADIAN BROADCASTING COMAPANY! (CBC)

How could you lose it? You should keep all your Beatles books and stuff in a little bookcase, that's what I do. :)

I think I threw it away when I was cleaning. My mom was coming in to visit and I panicked. Now Paul's in the smelly trash.
