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.

Re: FREE BEATLES NEWSPAPER SEARCH!
Feel free to do a search LR, I've now got your latest remixes to sort through!

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).
