More love from the Beatles community, this time from the endlessly fascinating In the Life of... The Beatles blog.
There's a deep well of Beatles and Beatles-related news, views, photos, detail and discussion that makes a more than worthy distraction from the business of the day - or a very happy destination in itself.
Here's what they say...
Like
looking through a scrapbook or time capsule, Yeah Yeah Yeah captures
many unseen moments of the Beatles appearances in Bournemouth, England. There
are plenty of rare photos, facts, and remembrances contained in this impressive
volume. For example, I was not aware the Beatles started their Roy Orbison Tour
sets in 1963 with "Some Other Guy," underlining their fondness for
the Richie Barrett song (John Lennon would later lift the riff for the intro of
his 1970 single, "Instant Karma"). I had previously only seen one
alternate shot of the With the Beatles album cover, while page 49
contains two. There are an abundance of Beatles backstage photographs I have
not seen before that add life to the recollections of the people that were
there interspersed throughout. So many interesting tidbits are to be found,
including what happened to the 1963 Beatles audience tape at Gaumont that went
up for auction several years ago. There are also some great pictures from later
in the Beatles' career as well, including a unique photo of John, Julian, and
Aunt Mimi at the Sandbanks ferry in 1967. All in all, a wonderful collection.
An
exhibition of rare and previously unseen photos is running at Bournemouth
Central Library until January 18. Art prints of many of the photos are now
available to order at www.beatlesandbournemouth.com along with copies of the
book.
