Uncut Beatles Cover Saturday Evening Post 1964
<B>Uncut Set of Beatles "Saturday Evening Post" Newsstand Posters, 1964.</B></I> An ultra-rare, uncut set of two newsstand posters from the August 8-15, 1964 issue of the <I>Saturday Evening Post,</B></I> featuring the Beatles on the cover smugly posing as English gentlemen. The image alone is a priceless example of their humor (and good looks) and considering the magazine included coverage of <I>A Hard Day's Night</B></I> -- the Beatles' first film -- and a seven-page spread titled "The Return of the Beatles," by Al Aronowitz, the issue itself was hugely popular. This incredibly rare, 45" x 29" uncut newsstand poster was printed to advertise the issue in newsstand boxes, and was intended to be cut and displayed separately. Having escaped the <I>Post</B></I>'s cutting and distribution process, the dual image still has its original cropmarks along the center and corner borders. The moderately age-toned piece is in Very Good condition with no tackholes though there are some nicks to the borders; two small but repaired tears to left side; small discoloration spots along right border, slightly affecting text on far right but not affecting the image; and discolored areas on the back that wouldn't be visible with framing. Needless to say, this rare item is truly a must-have for any Beatles fan -- way beyond compare.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Rolled Material (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
