Fanzine "Beyond Belief" on Ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elvis-Costello- ... 1e861198ac
Description
Beyond Belief was an important and authoritative EC fanzine that published 28 issues between 1995 and 2001. This is a set of all remaining issues directly from the publisher and includes all but the sold out issues #2, 3 and 4. I will however include color photcopies of these three missing issues.
BB featured all original material by the biggest and most knowledgeable EC fans. The issues covered current events as well as looks back on EC's earlier career. They also include many original photos and interviews.
Also comes with seven full color Collector Cards (pictured) of EC live in concert,

I still have my stack, stored in a box. It was a fantastic resource, particularly in the pre-Internet days. It also reminded me that I was nowhere near as fanatical about EC as I could have been. After over a decade (wow) I still hold out hope that Dave Farr will resume and finish his A to Z series.
And they make excellent bathroom reading -- so there's another incentive for the Apostle!

Dave finishing A-Z would be amazing. I hope he'll have a compelling reason to do it someday. I don't think he has any idea how wonderful and vital his work was. Where did it end? Around "H" if I recall.wardo68 wrote:I still have my stack, stored in a box. It was a fantastic resource, particularly in the pre-Internet days.

It ended with "Full Force Gale." Don't leave us hanging, Dave. Tell us about "Georgie and Her Rival."
(Or "Funny Little Tragedy" if you prefer. But that wasn't around in 2001.)

This publication was a Pre-Internet Godsend.
My gratitude goes out to all that contributed.

See, there's one of the problems. The guy keeps putting out new songs, and I'd have to go back and get all the new ones from A-F, before I could even go on to G!And No Coffee Table wrote:It ended with "Full Force Gale." Don't leave us hanging, Dave. Tell us about "Georgie and Her Rival."

But seriously folks, sometimes I think about it. I wish I had the time to set up a website or write a little book or something. Maybe in the future. Thanks for the kind words.

i looked and i do have ALL 28 issues sent to me by a kind member here in Spain if i recall. and it includes 10 photo/concert pics. it is a sensational resource very reminiscent of the REALLY pre-internet SENSATIONALLY necessary, back then, and still: GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS book. A+ buy this at ebay; a bargain!

Re: Fanzine "Beyond Belief" on Ebay
One of the many highlights of Beyond Belief, besides all the insider info Mike provided, was the sheer profoundness of Dave's reading of the songs. I can't recall the number of times I read the magazine at breaks at work and then rushed home to wallow in the music, (usually with headphones on so I could ignore the kids !) and have my ears opened further by his acute and knowing dissection of tracks that had become so familiar. It took an amazing talent to be able to offer musical and lyrical insights to tracks that must have been as familiar to him as it was to me.Will always be grateful for our trading partnership and the chance to meet at Meltdown in 1995. Now go for it Dave !!

Re: Fanzine "Beyond Belief" on Ebay
Interesting ... as I only have a couple of these. But the listing says it only ships to the United States?
