My Band "the New Generation" was featured on a page in Tiger Beat
Mag sometime in 1965 or 66. Any chance you might have that issue?
Thank you!

Hi Jack--
I have every issue of Tiger Beat from 65 and 66, so if it was indeed
Tiger Beat you were in (and not 16 or any other mag from a different
publisher, which I wouldn't have), I can look and see what I can
find. Do you have any recollection of how the band was featured? On a
news page , record review or part of a larger article? Would be
helpful if you can think of any clues to help me find it. --Lisa

Tiger Beat

Hi Lisa- actually my memory is pretty dim from those days! I kind of think it was a single page, there may have been photographs and the article spoke of Mick and Keith teaching us how to tune our guitars on stage although that never happened. Jad and Jeremy may have been mentioned in the article as well.
I understand Tiger Beat started in mid 65 and by the end of 1966 the New Generation was disbanded so it might only be some where in a 12 month time span.
I wish I could give you more info, I have been recently reconstructing my memory for a website and frankly just remembered the Tiger Beat thing a couple of days ago. You might enjoy seeing some of the New Generation info I have been collecting, if you go to <jacknadelle.com> and follow the link to New Generation might be fun to see.
Thanks Lisa, isn't the internet great?
On the new Generation page I am collecting correspondence, I would like to add ours if you don't mind?

Hi Jack-- here is the cover plus the pages your band appeared on. Did 
Keith or Paul ever come through with those songs???
Let me know if you have any trouble seeing these images and I'll 
send separate files. I only have this one copy, though I have seen 
this issue turn up on EBay for a reasonable price if you're looking 
to buy it. --Lisa:)

Lisa Sutton!! You are amazing, I am so happy you found those blurbs regarding the new Generation. I was looking to buy it, but I guess I'll need to check e-bay as you suggested.
Until that time can you send my slightly higher res scans? I will be glad to pay you for your trouble. Speaking of money, what do you do? I mean why do you have these fan magazines? Are you a collector or archivist like that? Any rate I am glad you do have them!! Thanks again!
Jack ( I am the 2nd from the left, I think I was about 15 years old in that pic)
I have also been posting on my website e-mail correspondence regarding the band-I really want to use the few e-mails we have exchanged do you mine?

Hi Lisa, Thanks again for the Tiger Beat! New Generation pages. I 
already posted on my site. Check it out, looks good!

I was looking at your website and posted a link from my page, let 
me know if you don't want it but your site looks interesting.  Did you notice the photograph on the same page as the new 
generation, right below ours? The Modern Folk Quintet? Later to 
become the Modern Folk Quartet-. That guy on the right side of the 
 photo is, I'm pretty sure, Henry Diltz, do you know him? He is a 
 really well know photographer who photographed all the rock and 
 rollers thru the 60's, 70's, 80s and beyond.
 Coincidently, I have been a photographer for the last 35 years too. 
 In the early 90's I helped Henry publish a book with a publishing 
 company from Japan. Small world...

Hi Jack--

The site looks great! Don't you love that crazy cover with Peter
 Noone??

  I noticed Henry there too! I'll have to send him a copy of the page 
as well. I've known Henry for years. Just last week I did an on-
camera interview with him for the show I'm working on--I'm a segment 
producer on the upcoming "Florence Henderson Show," a talk show aimed 
at Baby-Boomers and beyond that will begin airing soon on DirectTV 
and Comcast and hopefully in other markets to follow. I met Henry 
when I was working at Rhino back in the mid 80s. I started in package 
design, and my earliest assignments included putting together the 
first round of reissues for The Monkees when they were going through 
their huge resurgence. Talk about a dream job! I work mainly in TV 
these days, but I'm currently putting together a cd package for The 
Turtles
, so I keep a hand in music and design. I had originally 
started my web site when I had a deal to write a book about Tiger 
Beat
. Sadly, after many months of negotiating a deal for the rights 
to use the name Tiger Beat in on the cover, the publication was sold 
and the new owners refused to honor the deal I had worked out with 
the previous publishers. The good news is Tiger Beat is now owned by 
the Lauffer family again. The bad news is the planets never lined up 
properly again for me to get another deal. But the web site remains, 
as well as my extensive teen 'zine collection. To borrow a line from 
songwriter Rupert Holmes, I was "born in a state of nostalgia." I 
started collecting artifacts from the 60s and 70s around 1980 and 
never stopped. The old magazines are  a fantastic window to the past, 
and it is such a kick to meet someone who actually appeared on its 
pages. By the way, we also recently interviewed Lloyd Thaxton for our 
show as well. Small world indeed! --Lisa :)
