    Description

    A limited distribution, IF ANY, of a collage of New England newspaper clipping with TWA within the Text.  This was to promote TWA and the Beatles were the draw.  The circled parts are where TWA is mentioned.  Bill Liss considered this Top Secret and "the Craziest and Most Unusual Job I have ever covered".
    16 inches top to bottom by 19 inches wide.
    One photo has a TWA Employee tossing out 30 to 40 copies the new release of "Help / I'm Down" on Parlophone 45's to a crowd of teens in Union, New Jersey.  (I have a copy that was signed by the Beatles with their First Names on the green Parlophone record sleeve, as these were being handed out on the TWA flight, as well... unsigned.)
    The two scans are of the top half of this foldout. The bottom half was not scanned. This will be mailed folded into quarters as is this already in a Flat Rate Priority Packet. Folded it measures about 9 inches by 18 inches.  A light fold may have been from being folded again to mail in an envelope.
    This is an original copy.  NOT a Copy of a Copy.  The paper is thin and has a crisp sound to it (like a new One Dollar Bill, but thinner).  Rather unique paper.  It may have been included in an envelope and mailed to the previous owner by Bill Liss, who also provided the other Beatles memorabilia to this person I am currently listing.
