Some early facts and gifts from Smile Sessions

[Jay]

I have made it a rule to disregard any article or book that claims to have "the full story". I have so many Beatles books with the "full" story that I have run out of space in my room. The funny thing is, the "full" story is a little different with each book. 

[The Heartical Don]

The full story of the BBs and SMiLE in 20 pages?

How large are these pages, I wonder? The size of a soccer field?

I don't know whether anyone has seen it but here is the cover for the Mojo Smile / 60's special isses....

Oh my god, how are they selling that now?

No despatch until UK release date it says in the detail.  In other words, they're gonna nip out to WHS and buy a bundle when it hits the shelves.

I guess we Brits need to be aware that speculators might nab the lot, like some did with the Heroes & Vibes 10" 78rpm recently.

Not in my hometown: I'm 50% of the total BB/BW fanbase.

But where have they got the cover images from? Can't find it on the Mojo site yet.

[Andrew G. Doe]

I'm getting a "listing has ended" message.

It's a bloomin' ugly cover in my opinion.   A Frank Holmes artwork might have been sweeter…

...which begs the question: who's the other 50%?

[The Shift]

He means he's lost weight. He used to be 100%.

Hahaaa!! I subscribe to Mojo so should have it a couple of days before it hits the shops.

If there's no scans of the front cover by then (doubtful), I'll upload it

It's not a regular issue -  it's a one-off, so subscribers won't automatically receive it (unless ylou got a reeeal good subscription deal).

Ah-OK, thanks for that. I'll double check but have they done this type of thing before? I've always thought Mojo as a once a month mag.

[The Shift]

Aye, they've done occasional specials for a long time I believe, though I've never bought one – this will be my first and I doubt I'll stop at one copy.  For posterity, y'know… 

[Shady]

I love the cover, never even seen that picture of Brian before.

Suprising since I have an extensive bordering on psychotic collection

Is there an actual street date?  I don't want to be making countless regrettable trips to the store

[SloopJohnB]

The same seller just put another batch up for sale.

The specials are usually very well done. We'll see if this one is as well.

[earcandy]

To my knowledge "On Top" has never turned up.

Funniest thing I've seen since "The Hawthorne Hotshots" EP on Jackalope Records.

[Peter Reum]

Gotta have 12 of those...but the f****r who did that Hot Shots thing was demented!

I thought he was fermented too.

[Peter Reum]

There were those times. yup...
