ONE OF THE MOST HISTORIC AND SIGNIFICANT ITEMS IN BEATLES HISTORY! THE VERY FIRST ISSUE OF THE FAMED "MERSEY BEAT" NEWSPRINT MAGAZINE FROM JULY, 1961! IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION AS WELL!


THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE VERY FIRST ISSUE JULY 6-20, 1961 ISSUE OF "MERSEY BEAT" NEWSPAPER STYLE MAGAZINE! (Volume 1, Number 1) THESE RARELY EVER COME UP FOR SALE AND IT'S THE FIRST ONE I'VE OFFERED EVER ON EBAY! IN ADDITION, THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE FINEST CONDITION EXAMPLES IN EXISTENCE! THIS WAS A 6 PAGE ISSUE COMPLETE. ON THE INSIDE IS THE BEATLES "NOW FAMOUS" ARTICLE BY JOHN LENNON TITLED, "BEING A SHORT DIVERSION ON THE DUBIOUS ORIGINS OF A BEATLE"! AT THE TIME, THE BEATLES WERE JUST BEGINNING TO ESTABLISH THEMSELVES AS ONE OF LIVERPOOL'S TOP BANDS AND ALSO AT THE TIME, THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THE CASE JUST A SHORT TIME BEFORE. INDEED, THE FOLLOWING WEEKS WOULD SEE RAPID GROWTH IN THEIR LOCAL STATUS AND YOU ALL KNOW THE REST... CONDITION OF THIS EXAMPLE IS A VERY NICE VG+++. NICE AND FLAT AND IT HAS NOT BEEN HORIZONTALLY FOLDED LIKE MOST ISSUES HAVE BEEN AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER. IT HAS THE USUAL NEWSPRINT AGING, BUT IS IN REMARKABLE CONDITION! ONE VERY SMALL 1/3" TEAR COMING IN FROM TOP SEAM. BESIDES THE NATURAL MELLOWING, THAT IS IT! NO CLIPPINGS, NO OTHER PROBLEMS AT ALL! LAYS PERFECTLY FLAT. THIS IS GUARANTEED AN ORIGINAL ISSUE AND NOT ANY KIND OF REPRODUCTION AT ALL. THIS IS LIKELY THE ONLY EXAMPLE YOU MAY HAVE A CHANCE TO EVER OWN! IT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY BE THE BEST ONE YOU EVER SEEN AS WELL. SIZE IS 9 1/2" X 13". THIS EDITOR AND CREATOR OF THIS MAGAZINE WAS 'IN TUNE" LIVERPOOL MUSIC SCENE LEGEND, BILL HARRY. ALSO NOTE THE FULL PAGE AD BY "THE CAVERN CLUB" ON THE BACK! A FEATURE ARTICLE ABOUT THE CLUB IS INSIDE AS WELL! BESIDES THE GREAT BEATLES CONNECTION, THIS MAGAZINE IS A WONDERFUL INSIGHT TO THE BEAT SCENE IN LIVERPOOL AT THE TIME! I CAN'T IMPRESS ENOUGH HOW HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT AND RARE THIS ITEM TRULY IS! THIS ITEM WILL COME WITH MY LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY. CHECK OUT ALL THE PICTURES AND BEHOLD THE HISTORY! I SHOW EVERY PAGE HERE. VERY RARE AND EARLY ITEM INDEED!
