Back in 2017,
SATB first explored of Beatles collectors. This year, a
terrific addition to Beatle literature arrived with the
publication of Terry Crain’s new book, NEMS and the
Business of Selling Beatles Merchandise in the U.S. 1964-1966.
Terry didn’t merely catalog the merchandise of the period:
instead, he methodically researched the history of the items
marketed stateside, each of which tells a story itself. There’s a
ton of history to be gleaned from these ephemeral footnotes of the
era – each one a memory trigger – as well as from Terry’s
book.
