If somebody wants to be really anal and start sceenshotting or downloading JPEGs of everything they can find to post for us, go for it! I am trying to restrain myself... ;-)

OK one more from 1963, it's hard to stop... The ones on the website are much higher res.

Wow, keep posting anything you find.

I would love to see all the Beatles articles from Disc and NME and all those UK trade newspapers one day.

Feel free to do a search LR, I've now got your latest remixes to sort through! ;-)

Back in grad school in the early '90s I spent more time in the library photocopying Beatles articles from various old magazines than doing my studies...

Great finds!

BTW, there is an option to remove the blue boxes (un-highlight the search terms with the little button near the upper right of each page).
