Chamber Pot on the head

 January 17, 1964 (early morning hours)

This is a very well-known photograph of the Beatles, along with Brian and George Martin, celebrating I Wanna Hold Your Hand being #1 in the United States.   

I recently re-read George Harrison's account of this photograph in the Beatles' Anthology.   My question is, what restaurant was this?  This at least explains where the chamber pot came from -- I guess soup was eaten out of it.   

George took us to a place which was a vault, with huge barrels of wine around. It was a restaurant and its theme was… well, the bread rolls were shaped like penises, the soup was served out of chamber pots and the chocolate ice cream was like a big turd. And the waiter came round and tied garters on all the girls’ legs. I’ve seen some pictures of us. There is a photograph around of Brian with the pot on his head.

 

EMI Christmas Party

December 23, 1963 

The Beatles attended the office Christmas party in 1963.  Actually, I have never seen a photo of Paul at the party.  It looks like Ringo and John were having a good time in these photos.

Right before their lives changed

September 23, 1988 -

These are the last photos in my files of Ringo and Barbara with alcoholic drinks in their hands.  Actually, these are the last photos I have of them before they left for rehab and changed their lives.  I am so proud of Ringo and Barb for taking recovery seriously and living a sober life now for 35 years.  

Side note:  I totally love Ringo star tie!  And how the couple are matching.

The Red and Blue

 September 9, 1993

The Red and Blue albums were some of my first avenues into The Beatles' music.  My favorite is to listen to disc 2 of the Red and disc 1 of the Blue.
