A mid-1990s Beatles collector publication produced squarely in the wake of the enormous Beatles Anthology revival.
The Beatles: Anthology of a Band — Collector’s Edition, a large-format magazine devoted to the Fab Four, their music, films and the phenomenon that refused to go away.
The cover promises “Because You Haven’t Read Everything Yet!” and features photographs spanning the Beatles\' career, including Help!-era imagery, early group portraits and the unmistakable Sgt. Pepper period.
Features advertised include:
The Stories Behind the Music
The Movies, The Magic
Beatlemania — How It Happened / Why It Endures
The Anthology — What You’ll See, What You’ll Hear
Rare, Never-Before-Seen Photos of the Fab Four
The cover also carries the wonderfully period promotional button:
“I’ve Got My Beatles Movie Ticket — Have You?”
The back cover is especially evocative, reproducing photographs of the graffiti-covered wall outside Abbey Road Studios, layered with decades of fan messages, surrounding a period photograph of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
