My niece sent me the new 2009 Beatles Calendar sealed, along with a 2004 perfect copy of MOJO - The Beatles: Classic Rare and Unseen Photos. The cover is signed by Robert Whitaker, and a Beatles Monthly magazine from May 1968 with Paul and Jane Asher on the cover in Mint Condition.
your niece is pretty cool randy..very nice.

I bought the Love Documentry "All Together Now" yesterday. It was great to see how Love was put together. Someday I may make it to Las Vegas and see it. Everybody have a Fab Four Day.

Hi, Has anyone heard of a brand of bubble gum that was sold in the US in which you also got a Beatles photo card with stats on back? Well, I have some of those in my box labeled 5th-12th Grade in the garage. I found them about, oh, 10 yrs. ago when Daddy told us to clean out our stuff because he was remodeling the house. Funny, I'd forgotten about those until then. I was just curious if anyone else has some of those photo cards. They look great! It really took me back...
wow great find from your old stuff in the garage! ..but i'm not too sure which ones you mean...are you able to give us a visual on them?

Lady (Frankie) Crisp:
I bought a plain black T shirt that simply says this: DAED SI LUAP
...it reminded me of when Paul was on the david letterman show when he said they were doing the shoot for the album cover for abbey road...he came in sandals and decided to take them off to do the shoot... he said ever since them the "paul is dead" rumor came to life. ............... i just added another 1964 pink wallet to my collection...now i have 2 pink and 2 yellow. ...still need the beige & blue ...anyone have a beige or blue to trade for a yellow or pink?? ...just kidding.

Here the latest Paul signed this for my daughter when he was coming out of the Phillamonic Hall after the Lipa graduation, last Friday Cool hey
-
OMG Steve, was she nervous? Did she say anything to him? We all know Paul loves kids, did he say anything to her?

OMG ...i am absolutely speechless!!! WOW!!!...what a guy that Paul McCartney is! ...lucky you and your daughter of course! ...shes adorable!

It was all over in a flash, much quicker than last year when he signed a copy of Help for me, I just told her to stand in the perfect spot, just next to the back door of his car, i was stood behind her. I told her to shout "Paul,Please" when she seen him. He only signed for about 10 people on the way out. She said he looked down at her, smiled and signed her album, as soon as I seen he had signed her, I moved away and there was a bit of pushing and shoving. he then signed for one more on the roof of his car then went, It is on you tube search for paul at lipa. but you dont see her getting her signed as there are people in the way. When she got out of the crowd, she came running up to me, jumping with excitment, gave me a hug and had a cry. It ment a lot more to me to see her get one, than any I have ever got. It's already framed and hanging in her bedroom.
-
Here's the best picture I have at the moment, I am hopping someone who reads this may have been there and have pictures taken from a different angle. You can see her through the back window of the car, stood just behind the back door,(Red T Shirt) I'm not sure if this was taken when he was signing hers or not, but it's damn close.
-
OMG...WOW!...such great memories.. .i think that's so very special!... yeah i do see your daughter there...maybe he's signing hers.. ..just make sure you keep those pictures (which i'm certain you already did) in the back/or front of the framing you did of the album cover for your daughter....i think that's just so delightful and refreshing to see....thanks so much for sharing this special moment with us steve.

So glad you're back Beatlemaniac!!! Was getting quite scared about asking for your whereabouts!!! Really hope you haven't been ill or anything nasty like that. Anyway just bought a beige Beatles wallet to add to my collection, didn't really think I would get it. Now all I need are the others. So glad that you're back!!

Steve, too incredible for words. Joanne, I'm glad you are back. I was also thinking either something bad happened or you were not well, welcome back!!! I finally got to see Paul on the 21st at Citi Field and it was awesome!!! I made a fan out of my brother and if Paul does another tour or book signing in NYC I have someone to go with me!!!!

Alright, let's see... I've got bunches of stuffs... The Beatles: A Biography by Bob Spitz A Beatles poster with the cover of every album they released chronologically, in a poster frame I have a beatles shirt (acquired at Macy's) 2 John Lennon shirts (one blue that says Imagine at the bottom acquired at Gap and another that is gray acquired at Target) I have the Red Album and the Blue Album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band I Me Mine (George Harrison's Autobiography) A Hard Day's Night DVD (the Miramax one, acquired for $14 at Barnes and Noble) Help! DVD, acquired at a book store (I assume Barnes and Noble or Borders) The Anthology 2 and 3, yet to locate Anthology 1 A Beatles Magnet similiar to the cover for Live at the BBC, acquired at Seven Eleven (which is known to carry Beatles memorabillia, by the way) Live at the BBC Lennon and McCartney Solos for the violin The Beatles: First US Visit DVD Sheet music for Honor Orchestra of All Together Now and Yellow Submarine My Aunts (who were obsessed with the Beatles as well...) Have all of their albums on vinyl (lucky them) and several many posters, shirts, etc. I'm yet to see these, though. My dad had the original Butcher cover, BUT he traded it in for an Aerosmith album sometime in the '80s. Oh, but the Aerosmith album was great My last year's language arts teacher has a decoupage Beatles bookcase that he made himself with random pictures of the Beatles he had lying around (and found on the internet) it is about 4 feet tall 1 foot wide and 4 foot long. He's got an autographed Abbey Road poster (I forgot to ask if they are copies or authentic autographs, sorry!) he's also got every Beatles song imaginable and then some on his Ipod and has an enlarged picture of John (enlarged, as in life size) that he uses to teach us to write SECC paragraphs, or something to those degrees. (pronounce it as sec-see and you'll possibly see why...he also had a Jay-lo poster in the other hand...) and I'd like to know what he'd have lying around his house. Also, ASU (Arizona State University, for people out of country or simply had no clue, I know I wouldn't know it if I didn't live in Arizona) has a class over the summer that you can take and "analyze" the Beatles songs, but I'd be the one sitting there listening to the songs and not doing to work at all, or I'd do the work but my response would be "it's a Beatles song. No one should even attempt to figure them out. It's useless. Now, shush...I love this song..." Also, I own a copy of S.E. Hinton, even though she mentions that that Beatles aren't "tuff" and that Elvis is, the fact that she mentions them is enough for me. I think I got everything... I'll be acquiring the Beatles: Rock Band soon (37 days, to be exact). Recently (Sunday??) I acquired Beatles themed guitar picks. I learned to play the C chord with Paul, the G7 chord with John, Dm chord with Ringo and I'll use George to figure out how to switch between chords... I'm also saving up $40 to buy a Beatles vegan-friendly guitar strap. I have a vague feeling I'm forgetting something... My little brother's old security blanket (which he didn't use much, anyways) not only 'cos it's extravagently adorable, but it has original John Lennon doodles of adorable zoo animals and his signature. I also kyped The Beatles Apples to Apples card from the game. I'm also considering going through and adding "The 1960s" card to my wall, as well. I've also got countless doodles. My story (nothing to boast about, but I'll put it in here anyways) on FanFiction.net.

Wow! Thats a lot! I bet your dad is really regretting that trade!!! I just got back from a day trip to rehobeth beach and I picked up a deck of Beatle Playing Cards!
-
That sounds like fun!! I'd buy two. One to play with and another to keep for all eternity... Well, my dad definitely likes Aerosmith more than the Beatles, but considering that I've glowered, glared, sneered, snarled, etc. in his general direction whenever it comes up, he's regretting it because he fears for his life... Anyways, the next time I see my aunts I'm going to casually mention it... My dad's Aerosmith album was chewed up and destroyed by a dog later on. I say Karma, he says stupid dog. Once I get a chance, I'm going to make my dad take me to Zia Records and hunt down Beatles music. That's the one thing I lack...-is very sad-
-
Yeah, it was fun! The deck of cards were only $3!!! Yeah, Instant Karma!!! Oh well, maybe yuo'll come across another some time I've got Yesterday and Today on vinyl, but not the butcher cover, and its the seecond release on Apple Records, so its probably not worth too much...

I saw the Butcher cover at a market in Camden when I was on vacation and... did not buy it. I do not know why. I regret it every day.

I bought a whole pile of great stuff (records, newspapers, Beatlemania game) at a local antique market a month ago. (I think I posted a list here somwhere a few pages back). I bought the original Sgt. Pepper songbook but the front cover was missing so I asked the vendor, if she found it, to please contact me. Well, she did! I went back down to the market this past Sunday to get it. She also had the songbook for the Beatles '65 album. I bought that too! I also bought the Beatles VI album and Paul's Red Rose Speedway album and a pile of 45's including With A Little Help From My Friends /The Fool On The Hill recorded by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 and John's Happy XMas (War is Over)/Beautiful Boy
