Tour books
Do any of y'all collect tour books? If so, do you use dust covers or anything to protect them? Where do you store your collection?
I'm thinking about collecting some of the older ones but wanted to ask these questions first. Thanks!!!! :) Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner |
Hi Deena :) I use 12" x 15.5" white clamshell-type flat boxes for everything like that, and they're nice because they stack on bookshelves. (I think I got them at Staples but I'm not positive) The tour books are in plastic bags, same with magazines, and for photos I use archival photo pages.

:twisted: Tour books are great to collect 8)
Most of them are quite easy to get hold of at reasonable prices, and they are a fun way to look back over past tours. My own tour programs are kept in a desk, along with a lot of other Meat Loaf stuff. On the subject, the ealiest tour program I have is the Dead Ringer tour in 81. Does anyone know of earlier tour books? |

A few years ago I was having one of those ruthless clearouts of my garage. I was determined to get shot of Mrs. Chairboys' junk. Looking back, I can now only hang my head in shame. As a trade-off I too had to dump something. It was either the football programmes or Meat's tour books. I should have stood my ground. The footy programmes to me were a definite no-no so the tour books went ( there weren't so many of those! ). But, I also recycled all the MLUKFC magazines and newsletters from the 80's and 90's. I had all the editions of the Neverland Express and now they are gone, gone, gone. :oops: I must have been going through a mid-life Meat crisis. Please forgive me. I should have stood my ground. Mrs. Chairboys was the real option. Only joking. In her defence, she does make a lovely chocolate cake and gave me three wonderful children. |

How about the subject of festival tour books? I've got a couple featuring Meat from the Liverpool Summer Pops, and one from my birthday in 1983, Monsters Of Rock from Donnington. |
Can anyone recommend a site other than ebay to find them? I'd love to get a Casa De Carne one as it was my first show :(

I wonder if tour books are going the way of vinyl records? Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner |
A German fan has a great Meat Loaf blog where he also shows all the tourbooks with images
Great resource blog too as it has info on almost all vinyl, singles and other official releases |
Woohoo! (I was thinking Rats, I don't have the 1981 one.) I just printed your list and tomorrow I'm going to see how many of these I have. Thanks so much for the list!

Somewhere I have a disk of scans of all the old Neverland Express magazines from the 1980s fan club. If I ever find it again I'll copy it for you! Hadn't realised you were an old time member like myself and a couple of others round here. Did you ever contribute anything to those? |
