Fully revised and expanded, this history of the influential 1960's pop show contains a wealth of facts, information and trivia on ABC's Lucky Stars, a weekly pop show that ran from 1961 to 1966. The Beatles, the Kinks and the Rolling Stones were among the many hundreds of artists that travelled up the M1 to the Alpha studios in Birmingham to appear on the show. Chapters in the book deal with the history of the show, an analysis of the surviving episodes, a detailed look at a rare surviving script, a discussion of the crew, books and records, the artists who appeared from 1961 to 1966 and the songs they performed and the Australian version of the show. Fully illustrated throughout, there are many references to how the show was reported in the U.K. press. Original host and television and radio legend Pete Murray has very kindly written the foreword: Pete says: "Thank Your Lucky Stars was a pleasant and easy programme to work on. We were given plenty of freedom to play whichever songs we wanted. The big difference between Thank Your Lucky Stars and Top of the Pops – Lucky Stars was not driven by the charts - we had the complete freedom to play whatever we wanted. I remember meeting The Springfields on the show, and I really enjoyed working with them – what a lovely group of people, really friendly! Thank Your Lucky Stars was a great sixties tv show that has been sadly neglected in the archives in recent years. I am delighted that Kevin Mulrennan has brought out this long overdue book. I’d like to say that not just on behalf of myself, but also on behalf all the others who worked on that lovely show. Pete Murray, Thank Your Lucky Stars presenter, and original host of Top of the Pops. Thank Your Lucky Stars was unique in that it straddled the pre and post Beatles era of British pop music. There are brief biographies of all the artists appearing on the show, as well as the guest Disc Jockeys. In addition to the main hosts (Pete Murray, Keith Fordyce, Brian Matthew and Jim Dale) I have discovered that John Benson, Martin Locke, Simon Dee and Don Moss introduced the show too. Fans and performers alike recall their memories of this super show.. Hopefully this book will raise the profile of this forgotten gem of 1960's British television and you'll be thanking your lucky stars you bought it.

Following the success of my previous book, which dealt with the pop show Thank Your Lucky Stars, I have now decided to look at the music shows that appeared on A.B.C. Weekend Television. A.B.C. Weekend Television catered for viewers in the Midland and the North for thirteen glorious years from 1956 to 1968. The format will be similar to my previous work. I shall take a chronological view with mini biographies where appropriate, trivia, interesting facts, pictures and opinions (both my own and from the contemporary public.) I shall not be looking at the previous company that was called A.B.C. that morphed into A.T.V. Television. Nor will I be looking at music shows shown on A.B.C. but not directly produced by them. Therefore shows such as Sunday Night At The London Palladium and The Jack Jackson Show will not be featured, as they merit a book in their own right. If a weekend is absent from the diary, it probably means A.B.C. was concentrating on sports that particular weekend. In the 60’s sports such as tennis, rugby league and motor racing had a high profile. Sadly most of the shows mentioned here are not preserved in the archives. Television was considered an ephemeral pleasure back then. Preserving a show was in many cases impossible or too expensive. The powerful music unions discouraged repeat showings and many shows went out live and there was no need to record them. Tapes were reused on a regular basis, with shows being wiped forever within a few weeks of transmission. Mercifully a handful of Oh Boys! survive, along with a snippet of Cliff in the anniversary show The ABC of ABC. A George Formby section from a 1957 Top Of The Bill has popped up on YouTube. A Chas McDevitt clip, featuring a very young Jean Marsh opening a door, may very well come from the same show. British Pathe News have lovely features on Ship Canal Showboat, showing the likes of Thora Hird rehearsing in Manchester in 1956, as well as a feature on Holiday Town Parade. A few Sunday Breaks exist. Sadly I could find nothing from programmes such as Bid For Fame, Top Numbers, After Hours and many more great shows. Writing this book really struck me how viewing habits have changed over the decades. Television was on just two channels. Daytime shows were rare and television ended before midnight. Televisions were expensive. Shows tended to be on at exactly the same time each week to build up audience figures. But some things never change. Even back then some people moaned at the quality of the shows and were fed up of seeing the same stars week in week out. Hopefully you will gain more pleasure reading the book than those killjoys.

These are the guitars so famous that their names are often household words: B. B. King's Lucille, Eric Clapton's Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughan's First Wife, Billy F Gibbons' Pearly Gates, Neil Young's Old Black, and many more. Here's the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. Other best-selling guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual "star guitars"--the million-dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sotheby's auction house in 1993 for $1,300,000. Amateurs buy guitars to emulate the stars--Clapton's Strat, Slash's Les Paul--and this book explains the stars' modifications, thus showing how others can recreate those famous tones.

An answered prayer for Beatles fans and collectors, the first volume of a unique work that exhaustively chronicles all known and available Beatles recordings! Have you ever watched a Beatles film clip and wondered: • Where was that filmed? • Is any more of that footage available? Have you ever heard a Beatles interview and asked: • When was that taped? • Where’s the best place to find the complete recording? Way Beyond Compare has the answers to these and thousands of similar questions. It’s the key to unlocking the secrets behind every known Beatles recording in circulation through 1965, telling you where to find them, what makes them unique, and how they fit within the context of the Beatles’ amazing musical and cultural journey. Author John C. Winn has spent twenty years (twice as long as the Beatles were together!) sifting through, scrutinizing, organizing, and analyzing hundreds of hours of audio and video recordings—and putting them into a digestible chronological framework for Way Beyond Compare and its companion volume, That Magic Feeling: The Beatles’ Recorded Legacy, Volume Two, 1966–1970. “It takes a rare and special kind of mind to sift through it all, to research and enquire, catalogue and chronicle, assess and contrast, identify and label, and to fit all the myriad pieces into the vast jigsaw puzzle that is the Beatles’ career. John C. Winn is that person, and he’s done it with a rare skill and intelligence.” —Mark Lewisohn
