Tracking down Pepper





On June 23, 1967 the Beatles were working on the song, All you need is love.    And three of them signed the inner sleeve of their latest LP, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.    A fan named Carole was a regular outside of EMI during that time and she asked John, Paul and Ringo to sign them album for her.  She was unable to get George signature on the album.    John just signed "John" with a kiss next to his name.   That is how things were when a Beatle actually knew you, I guess.

This autograph (along with the two photos of Paul and Ringo signing the album) are up for auction.  I am sure that you have read on other blogs that Tracks in England is having a really awesome auction next month.   They have a ton of great stuff from collections of people like Pete Shotton and Buddy Dresher as well as some of the fans that you read about right here (like this album that belonged to Carole).    So many things that I wish I could afford!    You can drool over the amazing items if you click here.   Just a word of warning---I spent about 2 hours looking at stuff this evening.

Hello from Broadstreet


Paul waves to the crowd at the opening of the Broadstreet film. Little did he know at the moment of this photo that his film was going to be a disappointment to many.

The end of Paul and Jane




Here is a "well loved" fan photo of Paul and a happy fan. When I saw this photo, I thought "wow THAT is what that shirt that Paul is wearing when the press asks him about he and Jane's breakup looks like in color." I do not think that these photos were taken on the same day. But they were taken within the same time period in summer of '68. Paul was at his father's house. The evening before, Jane had announced on the BBC that she and Paul were not longer engaged. Notice the paper in Paul's hand? That is the scrap of paper that Paul autographed for the fan. Both the autograph and the photo is in an auction by Tracks right now.
