Fan Club Paul and Linda

I really love these fan club photos that could be purchased in 1969 of Paul and Linda. They are super sweet!

Fan club photos

If you were a member of the Official Beatles Fan club, then you were most likely a very happy Beatle fan! The fan club sent out newsletters to keep you up to date with the Beatle news (which in a time without the Internet must have been wonderful to read!) and many other little "perks." Every Christmas members would get a special Christmas record and throughout the year members would receive posters, postcards and most interesting to me, photo packets. Especially towards the end of the Beatles fan club run, they would send out a mailing that had photos of the individual Beatles. Here are three such photos of John. The bottom two show him working on the making of the Abbey Road Album. The top photo is from my own collection. I bought that John photo many, many years ago. I hope to get more of them in the future!

Fan club girls

Most likely a stage photo for Beatles Book Monthly, but still a cute one!

Heritage Auctions

The Heritage Fall Auction is currently going on. They have a few interesting items but what caught my eye the most was the items that belonged to Susan Sky. Susan worked for the NYC Beatles fan club and has an amazing story about her time there! She got to meet the Beatles in 1965 (where John cheated in a Scrabble game! LOL!) and again in '66. She is auctioning off her photographs, autographs and other memorabilia. She also wrote up a very charming story about her time working at the Beatles fan club. What a fun job that must have been!
