Club Sandwich – The Complete Set
A complete set of the 86 issues of the McCartney magazine known as Club Sandwich which is no longer being published, as a result of Linda McCartney passing away in 1998. The club offered many bonus items like special tickets to special McCartney live performances and options like being able to purchase McCartney’s Russian LP. It was sad to see this magazine end as it contained so many fabulous photos and stories. To compile a complete set of these magazines now is not only difficult but also very expensive.
Glad I have all of the issues, but they are difficult to store because of their large size. The older newspaper-like issues are also prone to yellowing.
Buzz’s Question for Paul McCartney
When Beatles book author Mark Lewisohn worked for the Club Sandwich magazine, he ran a contest inviting subscribers to submit questions to Paul. I submitted a question that I had been alerted to by reading Mark’s “The Beatles Recording Sessions” book. The book quickly mentioned an unreleased McCartney track that he had recorded in the studio back in 1968 and then took the recording home, provided to him by the engineer. The track was called “Etcetera.” Supposedly the track was written for Marianne Faithfull.
I submitted the question to the magazine about the track and I was surprised to see the question was chosen for publication in one of the Club Sandwich issues.
Here is a photo of the question I asked and Paul’s response.

I joined far too late but have about 20 of them and wish there was a book detailing all the issues
Marcus-an excellent idea for a book. If you are so inclined, write to MPL and see if they would be interested in doing something like that. Perhaps that will help to motivate them to undertake that task…
You have brought back some wonderfull memories!!!!! I looked forward to all the issues.THANK YOU.Fast Eddie
The fan club provided a lot of extras in addition to the magazine. For example the club sent tickets to fan club members to see Paul at a special rehearsal show in NYC as he prepared for one of his tours. It was fabulous! It was also a lot of fun getting a copy of his Russian LP as well.
