The most extraordinary band to ever be, this blog is a small, clumsy journal of the marvellous past times the artists came to experience.

So here are The Beatles - The last great band in black and white

At the Front Door of Kenwood
 
Late March 1965 - Following the photo shoot at Kinfauns, George and Pattie drove Henry Grossman over to Kenwood to photograph John, Cynthia and Julian. 
 
Henry Grossman wrote in his chapter on Kenwood:Little two-year-old Julian came to the door to greet the new visitors. Uncle George scooped the toddler up in his arms to say hello. As I aimed my camera to capture the moment, John began smoothing down Julian’s hair. I loved seeing John, the long-haired idol of millions, fussing over his son’s hair like any other doting parent. This was a side of him I had not yet seen.

John Lennon, Dudley Moore, and Norman Rossington filming Not Only…But Also — 1964




[John] used to do a lot of cruel drawings. The day the Pope died, he did lots of drawings of him looking really awful. He did one of the Pope standing outside some big pillars outside Heaven, shaking the gates and trying to get in. Underneath it said, ‘But I’m the Pope, I tell you!’
— Thelma Pickles (John Lennon’s early college girlfriend)

Scan - “A young George Harrison with his Tony Curtis haircut, bright fluorescent green wasitcoat (under the towel), and skintight jeans. He’s carrying flippers, so he must be off to the swimming pool or the sea. This would be around 1958 or ‘59, when George, Paul, and John were in the Quarrymen skiffle group. I though I’d taken this photograph, but Paul rang up to complain, ‘Hey you bugger lugs! I took that one!’” - Mike McCartney
