NME will mark the re-release of the Beatles’ back catalogue on September 9 with a special issue to come out the same day, featuring 13 collectable covers and an exclusive interview with Paul McCartney.

 

Each of 12 re-mastered versions of the band’s original studio albums will feature on a foil-framed souvenir cover and in individual reviews by contemporary writers.

 

A thirteenth cover celebrating the Magical Mystery Tour album is intended to become a collector’s item, with 1,000 individually numbered print runs published, and available for sale through NME.COM.

 

NME Radio will complement this by hosting a special Beatles show presented by Gary Crowley on Sunday September 6, which will include archive interview footage from the four Beatles and producer George Martin.

 

NME publishing director Paul Cheal says, “This is a unique celebration of the world's favourite band by the world's longest-running weekly music magazine - the cover artwork featured on the 13 special issues of NME is quite simply stunning.”

 

=============================================

 

Now who is going to buy all the 13 different covers :rolleyes:

Having been to a couple of Beatles convention and one Beatles Weekend in Liverpool (August Bank Holidays), there are a few nutters/anoraks around who will do this believe me.

Plus they will be available on ebay within a few days.
