    Thanks for the link David. The original has a little "bleed" in it. I wonder if it looked as crisp as the copy in the Sgt Pepper box when it was new. Am I correct to assume that the Sgt Pepper recreation is smaller than the original. You can't make out the "IPE.DEL.ET.SC.LIVERPOOL" at the bottom of the top left drawing on the reproduction (or whatever it says. I can't make it out on the original either).

    This is a very interesting looking issue. Maybe my questions are answered there. Unfortunately, the Beatles have already emptied my bank account for this month (and a few months to follow).

    Amazing issue! Lots of cool pix and interesting stories/reconstructions.

    Yes — the original's size is 530 x 270 mm (including the frame).

    This question is also answered in the magazine. It's the name of the engraver, Thomas Fife, from Liverpool.

    They're charging $18.50USD shipping!

  10. Piet_S says:

    That's right: $18.50 is the lowest possible ("Standard") rate for shipping from The Netherlands to the US, Canada, Australia etc. Almost as expensive as the magazine itself. It can't be helped!

    you are doing a disservice to your readers by blocking my offer to sell my copy of the magazine. they are charging crazy rates for shipping to US and as you see in the comments, many Beatles fans who would like the magazine, are not buying it. i'm now putting it up on Ebay where they will have to pay more now because of your censorship.
