Cheap Trick Newsletter!
The Cheap Trick International Fan Service published the Cheap Trick Newsletter! starting in August of 1979 through at least 1982. The newsletters are 8½” by 11” format and contain from four to eight pages. Band stories, photos, news updates, tour information and contributions from fans were included in each issue. A few photos of 12-string basses were included but there is no mention of them in the newsletter articles.
