The playback






 

January 30, 1969 -  The Beatles rooftop concert is a historical part of Beatles history.   It happened 55 years ago today.  But you know what part of that day is also enjoyable?  Watching the Beatles and wives listening back to what they just recorded.   

Wings banner



 

I love it when I discover something a fan gave one of the guys was actually used.  Marie Lacey shared on Facebook that this amazing Wings banner was made in 1973 by Sil Perrone, and then another fan chimed in and said that Pattie O'Neil helped with it.   I don't know how they got it to Paul, but it is seen at the beginning and the end of the "Helen Wheels" promo video.   

By the way, MPL has posted a cleaned-up version of "Helen Wheels" on YouTube, and it looks SO much better than it has ever looked.   

My next wondering is where is this banner today?  It really is beautiful and should be displayed somewhere like a museum or at least in a private collection.
