Every so often Timewarp is lucky enough to come across a special record collection. Over the following weeks I will be listing records and memorabilia from one such collection. Collected mostly during the 1960’s and 70’s this set of records and memorabilia have been well preserved and cared for some dating back to over 50 years old!! We hope you enjoy the records we will be offering as much as we have in presenting them to you.
In early 1963 a publisher, Sean O’Mahony, (who already published a magazine about the music scene called Beat Instrumental) heard Please Please Me and asked Brian Epstein if he could publish a magazine devoted to the Beatles. Epstein and the group agreed and the title launched in August 1963 with a print run of 80,000. By the end of the year circulation had grown to 330,000 copies per month. O’Mahony edited the magazine under the name of Johnny Dean.The magazine’s photographer, Leslie Bryce, had unrivalled access to the group throughout the 1960s, travelling the world and taking thousands of photographs. In addition, Beatles roadies Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans wrote many of the articles, and artist Bob Gibson created numerous cartoons and caricatures of the fab four on a regular basis. (He eventually did the cartoons for the Beatles' 1967 Magical Mystery Tour EP-set/US-album booklet.
