This lot features an original, period-correct edition of Fabulous Magazine, dated 6th February 1965. A quintessential artifact of the British Invasion and "Swinging London" era, this issue features a vibrant cover portrait of Wayne Fontana (of The Mindbenders) and is marketed as being "Packed with Fact."
The publication serves as a comprehensive time capsule of mid-60s pop culture, including 11 king-size colour pin-ups of the era's most influential artists. Notable editorial coverage and pictorials include:
Ringo Starr (The Beatles)
The Rolling Stones (referenced via the cover's iconic chalkboard "pop math")
The Hollies, The Searchers, and Brian Jones
Brenda Lee, The Mojos, and The Shadows
The magazine exhibits typical age-appropriate wear for a newsprint-adjacent periodical of this vintage, including light edge rubbing and spine stress marks, but retains the high-saturation color printing for which Fabulous was renowned. It remains a highly collectible piece of ephemera for enthusiasts of the Merseybeat and early British Rock movements.
