Back in April 2011, these photos were for sale on ebay by a seller named "Big Daddy." I emailed him and asked if I could post the photos on the blog. He said that I could and that he would send me better copies. But I never heard back from him. I was reminded of these photos when I read Guus' comment the other day. He was wondering what years was Cavendish painted with the yellow around the door (as seen here). Great question! Here is the listing from the original auction.
These pictures were taken on April 24, 1978 (that's 33 years ago!!) I was fortunate as a teenage Beatle fan to experience a trip to England and my parents allowed me to pay homage to Abbey Road studios. As I walked the streets in my t-shirt with the "Beatlemania" logo from the (then) Broadway show, a kind gentleman pointed out that Paul lived nearby and I was able to find his house. A braver fan then I rang the gate bell and Paul's maid actually told him that Paul would be coming home in a few hours. I rushed back to our hotel, picked up a record and pen and made it back in time to watch Paul and Linda pull up to the gate. Paul got out of the car to open the gate. I was lucky to get this picture of Paul looking right into the camera just as he handed back my pen and autograph. The pictures were taken with a Kodak 110 camera.
