BEATLES ARCHIVES-KRLA BEATLES NEWS CLIPPING BOOK

In the 1960’s there was a teen magazine at a California radio station with the call letters of KRLA. The magazine that the radio station produced was entitled KRLA BEAT. In the 60s there were quite a few issues of the magazine which featured a Beatle on the cover. In 2016, a book was published compiling most of the Beatles features that the magazine published during those years. It is well worth getting for your Beatles print collections. Collections compiled in this book serve as superb time capsules like the scrapbooks that Beatles fans kept prior to the digital age. In the future I plan to show you some of the contents of the 100 or so Beatles scrapbooks that I compiled in my personal collection prior to the world takeover of the internet.

Here is the book written by Torrence Berry and Gary D Zenker that compile many of the Beatle articles that appeared in KRLA BEAT magazine:

Beatles Archives Volume 1 Paperback – April 3, 2016

by Torrence Berry (Author), Gary D Zenker (Author)

Back cover of the book:

Two of the KRLA Beat issues with a Beatle on the cover from my collection. Both of the 2 issues shown here are from the same month of the release of the Sgt. Pepper album-June 1967

This issue appeared only a couple of days after the Pepper release:

“Pepper” was scheduled to be released in the United Kingdom on June 1, 1967, but a leak caused an earlier release on May 26, 1967.

Another revelation that is food for Beatles trivia enthusiasts as there are always caveats associated with the “pure truth” concerning official release dates!

From Reddit-The official release date for The Beatles’ album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was June 1, 1967, in the UK according to History.com and the band’s official website TheBeatles.com. While some sources list May 26th as the release date, this is often associated with a partial release or a release in certain regions, like the UK .

Put that one in your pipe and smoke it! LOL!
