Ringo in the crowd |
Johann snapped this photo of Paul at the Beatles party. He had to wait! |
"Paul came at two in the morning
.
When I was in London recently, I by chance got hold of a ticket for the
party The Beatles were having hosting for the launch of their film
"Yellow Submarine."
The
party began at around 11 p.m. at the Royal Lancaster Hotel. In front of
the entrance to the basement party room, a man dressed as a "Nowhere
Man" stood and greeted people. He only allowed people with invitation
cards to enter.
Among
the guests were The Marmalade, Jane Asher and many models.
There was as much of a cold buffet and champagne as you could eat and
drink. At around 1 a.m., the first of the Beatles to appear was Ringo
with his wife Maureen. He seemed to feel - at least that was how it
appeared to me - a little lost among the many guests. Which is why he
didn't hang around at the party for very long. At around 2 in the
morning, Paul McCartney and John Lennon showed up. Paul was immediately
surrounded by lots of people. He felt visibly more comfortable in the
throng than Ringo had. Unfortunately, George Harrison did not attend the
party. That was too bad, because I would have liked to have seen all of
The Beatles "live." But even so, it was a great experience!"
