Ok..........I think I AM one of the biggest Beatle fans ever..........case in point.........I have EVERY issue of the Bestles' Monthly Book.  Yes, EVERY ONE.  ALL the originals from 1963-1970, all the "re-issues" in the '70's thru Record Collector Mag, and all the "starting up" issues from 1984 to the end somewhere in 2002, or 2001.  Yes people, I have them all.  That is what a fanatic collector I am of our fabulous foursome from Liverpool...
I told my husband I want all of these buried with me when I die...............

Thats excellent!! I wish I could claim the same! I wanted to see what they are like though so I own two of them! something like issue 38, I know one had George shaving on the front and the other is of Paul! I was happy just to have two haha, but I admire the fact you own them all!

^^^^^It "cost" me to do this.  But this was a mission of mine for several years on ebay.  And many trips to the bank to "transfer funds".  My husband was ready to kill me.  Here's just a few of them....

And my little "shrine" in my music room.......

haha that is really cool! and I bet it cost a lot, especially on ebay with other bidders! how much was it for issue number 1?

I know at the Beatle shop in Liverpool the prices are crazy in there for the monthly books

Actually, the first issue wasn't that bad.  I paid maybe $100 US dollars for it.  The most I've EVER paid for one issue was $175.  Most of the ones I bought, I bought in "lots"...as in there may have been 20 to 100 issues in an auction.  I quite a few extra copies, but it was worth what I spent to have ever one.

^^^^^^Oh, I forgot..........to me, the Beatles Book Monthly is the "holy grail" in collecting Beatles' related magazines and books.

I've got the set, I got the reissues on subscription from 1976 onwards

^^^^^^That's cool.  So I'm not the only one.  The mags have the best Beatles' pictures in them, don't they????

Oh yes!! The pictures were especially welcome back in the days before you could just go on the computer and find all the Beatles pics you need for your fix. I really looked forward to each one coming through the letterbox  

Oh yes.  There were pictures in there of the Beatles that weren't published anywhere else.  Great stuff!!!!

I stopped buying the re issues in the late 90s , i just ran out of space for them  
I have an origanal , yeh just one  
Its still going is`nt it ?  

^^^^^No, sorry to say, Beatle's Monthly Book stopped in 2001/2002.  That's why they're highly collectable................

Do you have any from October-November 1979? Would you mind looking to see if it mentions anything about Jimmy's death?

^^^^^I'll check and see.  They're not in any order, which is my fault, but I will look.

Thanks  

Hey "JimmyMc" fan.......I like your sig......very, very cute!!!

^ I sent my gf that picture you wanted me to send her and my gf was like ok she's my new BFF  

^^^^Now which one was that???  I tend to forget.....let me know JimmyMc.  And if she likes what I think I sent to you, I'll send some more...............

^ the shirtless one

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Oh..........so your girlfriend liked David, huh???  I'm just only reading stuff I missed here lately.  My 10 year old just started 5th grade today and it's gonna be a tuff year.  Science projects and all that stuff.
I'm gonna take time this weekend to look thru my "Monthlys" and see if I can find that issue you wanted me to find.
And.............JimmyMFan..........I do like that new sig you have.........yum-O!!!

Ok cool thanks. I really appreciate it.

Thanks! How long were you a member? If you have any info/picture from '74-77 Fun Club issues featuring Jimmy, those would help also.  

Thanks Aspie ! , yeh i was a Wings fan from 1976 until about 1985 then rejoined as rumours of a Macca tour 1989 up until early 90s .


I can`t find anything on jimmys death in the Beatles books , but i will keep looking .

Found i have more than one original today !  

Gosh Paul's nose is so red in that picture!

^^^^^Yeah, Kitie, I've got some double copies too.  Hang tight, Jimmymacfan...........I'm gonna get to those Monthlys with weekend.............

Hey Jimmymacfan!!!  I checked through the majority of my Monthlys from around the time Jimmy died, and I really couldn't find anything.  Will do more research.............

Thanks. I appreciate it  

^^^^^^^You're welcome.  I've got some other sources too, in my collection of "Beatledom".......

I have dug into the Beatle books around the time of jimmys death and it was when the Beatle book was joined up with the Record Collecter , but i still can`t see why they wouldnt mention his death. Very Strange indeed  

Heres my no 1 copy of The Beatles Book  

^^^^^^Yep, Kitie, I have that one too.  And it is stange they didn't mention Jimmy's death.  I'm still searching, tho...

^^^^^^Yep, Kitie, I have that one too.  And it is stange they didn't mention Jimmy's death.  I'm still searching, tho...

Are your copies British Imports Aspie or are  they American prints ?

^^^^^^^^They're all Brit imports bought off of ebay...........with most of the sellers, probably 80% from England.  But I know a great guy who sells on ebay from the US and goes to England twice a year and brings back a "Motherload" of Beatles stuff.  He always hooks me up with the Neil Aspinall stuff...............

Yay! What other sources?  

Alright Jimmymacfan..............I'll PM you on this forum and hook you up with a couple of my contacts.

Slighty off topic , but have you seen the Wings Over America program Jimmy ?  
Nice Sig jimmy
