If you're a Rolling Stones fan, then check this out! As shown, this is a nice lot of 18 different issues of Beggar's Banquet fanzine, published by Stones mega-fan, specialist, journalist, and expert Bill German. As shown in the accompanying picture, you'll receive the INCREDIBLE first hand material he published from 1984 to 1990...Volume 2, Issue #'s 1 through 18.
Locating ALL of these issues together or individually elsewhere could take a VERY, VERY long time!
As a teenager in the late ‘70’s, Bill German started a newsletter dedicated to news about the Rolling Stones.  It was named after what is arguably the best album ever recorded by the Stones entitled, “Beggar’s Banquet”.  Bill parlayed his labor of love into not only meeting the boys in the band but he managed to become personal friends with the band’s legendary guitarist, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood.
German’s story is very similar to Cameron Crowe and “Almost Famous”.  The big difference is that Bill witnessed the inner workings and battles within the World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.  While newspapers and magazines all over the world could only speculate and rely on second and third hand information about the perceived demise of the band, German
was a first hand observer of what actually took place
.  And, sometimes to the chagrin of Mick Jagger, reported the events in “Beggar’s Banquet”.
German related once that “I was an aspiring journalist (my idol was Tom Snyder) and a rabid Rolling Stones fan.  In 1978, as I was turning 16, I decided to marry the two by launching my "Beggars Banquet" newsletter. I printed the first year of issues in the mimeo room of my high school.  I tried selling copies to my classmates, but found no takers.  Ironically, it was the Stones who took notice and welcomed me into their circle. Every time I published a new issue, I'd make sure they received copies, by either leaving it with their doormen, or by presenting it to them in person at New York City's nightclubs."
Eventually, the band put German on the Stones payroll yet eventually, his business relationship with the Stones returned to a ‘I make my own money and pay my own way’ policy.” Bill said "
the best part was the mid-'80s, spending quality time with Keith and Ronnie; watching Stones jams at the recording studio or in Ronnie's kitchen and basement.  Feeling like there was no other place on earth I wanted to be."
The INCREDIBLE content inside these long out of print fanzines is FASCINATING
; I actually recently read through every single issue and was
BLOWN AWAY
by the first hand accounts inside!
