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.Terry’s site
Looking forward to this episode! And, Terry’s book probably goes right into the shopping cart. 🙂

Great program!!! Also loved the one with Russ Lease!!! I’ve been a HUGE fan since 1964 after the Ed Sullivan Show. Been a serious collector since the early 1980’s. I’ve got Nems items….personally owned items…Beatles owned and worn clothing…autographs…Ringo’s used drumsticks…Stuart Sutcliffe items…etc. Have Terry’s book…it’s THE book for folks who collect the mass produced memorabilia from 1964-1966. Love the show…keep up the good work!!!
