You shouldn't really encourage me.... . Have some from '68....

On 28th July that year they spent an entire day driving round London with photographer Don McCullen in tow, this was right in the middle of recording the White Album.... they ended up back at Macca's place in St.John's Wood and posed for some shots in the meditation dome in his back garden...

























Hanging up in my garage....

Great to see Martha making an appearance in some of those.

Have another! Taken by a fan, John and Paul in Primrose Hill walking back to Paul's DB6 after taking Martha for a stroll in early '67....

Good news from Peter Jackson about the film 'Get Back'....

Watching that clip shows that despite some definite tensions within the group at the time, they still liked hanging out together and could still have a laugh.

They were obviously a lot happier in the Apple basement compared to chilly Twickenham (despite the fancy coloured lights).

I wonder what that room looks like to day?

It was closed when I walked past last Saturday which was before London was all locked down.

Is the basement part of the shop?

It's not the Beatles, but it doesn't half sound like them. A live performance of Sgt Pepper by Dutch band The Analogues

They spare no trouble and expense to get it right. The drummer is a senior executive of Tommy Hilfiger and I believe he underwrites the venture, though if it wasn't for the Covid thing they could make good money as an international touring band.

A book just published is all about that seminal event. 'The Roof - The Beatles final concert'. by Ken Mansfield. (Available on all good Amazons).

Would have been the memory of a lifetime to witness it. Alas, I was 4 & 12000 miles away. They don't give the appearance of a band in disarray & hating each other that some authors would have us believe. Look like they're still having fun.
Looking forward to the Peter Jackson film.
