The British Beatles Fan Club in association with Framework Publishing proudly presents Lennon Exclusive, a tribute magazine with a difference. Packed with features by top quality writers, including some of those who knew John personally, Lennon Exclusive covers John's life and career, from his childhood through to his final public performance in 1975.
Rather than re-tread familiar old ground with previously well-documented stories, Lennon Exclusive concentrates on some less familiar routes along Lennon's long and winding road.
Features includes:
- Daddy Come Home
