NME Originals: Beatles: The Solo years: 1970-80

7th June 2005

Purchased in town today, ahead of its official release, is this "NME Original" glossy -- a Beatles 1970-1980 - The Solo Years special which charts the careers of John, Paul, George and Ringo in the decade after the break-up of the Beatles.

The blurb reads: "Played out against a backdrop of reunion rumours, the '70s proved to be a significant part of The Beatles story, with the Fab Four showing flashes of solo brilliance that could rival their collective output.

"From 'IMAGINE' to 'BACK OFF BOOGALOO', from 'BAND ON THE RUN' to 'MY SWEET LORD', this magazine concludes the Beatles story by republishing many of the solo interviews and reviews for the first time since their original publication in the pages of NME and Melody Maker.

"Add to this some truly fantastic photography and newly commissioned articles that tell the story of The Beatles split and bring their careers right up to date, this magazine is a must for every Beatles fan."

Although not officially released until next week, this can be found in some branches of MVC already and may be available elsewhere.
