The story about the Beatles Fan Club in North America has never been told in over 50 years. This book tells the story of The Beatles fan clubs in the United States and Canada from 1963-1972. The Beatles had a lot of love and respect for their fan club members and frequently met them while they were touring North America. The stories of fan club members who met The Beatles are shared. The Official Beatles Fan Club in New York City did not meet the fans' expectations, so many quit and started independent fan clubs. When The Beatles stopped touring, the fan club members traveled to London, and many met John, Paul, George, and Ringo outside the recording studio and their homes. The Official Beatles Fan Club changed hands and threatened to sue the independent clubs, which was quite controversial. The fan club continued even after The Beatles had broken up and has impacted Beatles fans today.

There have been thousands of Beatles books written since 1964. Their music and lives have been analyzed and dissected more than any other group of four men in history. However, this book differs from all other books on the market. This book does not focus on the Beatles' music or lives. Its focus is on the fans and how while being teenagers, they were able to organize and run successful fan clubs for The Beatles. The stories of how they were innovated to arrange an in-person meeting with The Beatles while on tour or in London have never been told.

The story of the Beatles fan club in the United States has never been told before, and most Beatle fans are unfamiliar with this part of the Beatles' history. The story of how the Official Fan Club attempted to sue the independent fan clubs has yet to be spoken about since it occurred over 50 years ago.

Cash, Eric

Eric Cash was born in Dallas, Texas, and, like most other kids in the 1960s, grew up listening to The Beatles. He has always loved drawing and painting, and the Beatles and sports have always been two of his favorite subjects to paint. Eric's work is published in books, on magazine covers, creating art for sports trading cards, and winning awards from such prestigious industry publications as Communication Arts and Graphics. His earliest (and greatest) passion is painting images of The Beatles. He has created numerous works of The Beatles, both individual and group, and shows at the twice-yearly Fest For Beatles Fans; he has earned the respect and admiration of Beatles fans across the country, who now eagerly anticipate each new painting. Several of his Beatle pieces have been published in books and magazines.
