Get your Beatle Nut Ice cream!


 

When the Beatles came to America, a lot of places did some wacky promotions using The Beatle name.  There were Beatle burgers and even Beatle Nut ice cream.   I wonder if the motto was "I scream for Beatles Nut ice scream."

Slumber Party

These girls are playing with an Ouija board.   I wonder if they are asking if they will marry one of the Beatles.

Will she swim?

 




Swimmer Norma Campbell, 22,  is worried.   Should she swim in her new fashionable rubber diving suit ... or not?   If she does, four precious words written on her suit may be washed off.   And that means Beatles fan, Norma would lose her autographs of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.  Norma is the top women diver of the Subaqua Club at Scarborough, Yorks, let the suit to a television company who wanted to use it in a Lennon-McCartney "spectacular" due to be seen next month.  "The names were written with a felt tip pen, and I must try to preserve them," said Norma.   "Someone told me their hair lacquer is waterproof, so I think I'll spray them with that before I take a dip."  

16 November 1965


Is this girl crazy??   You don't go around wearing a swimming suit autographed by John and Paul!  And you most certainly don't go swimming in it!   Crazy Norma!     I am not sure if these are real autographs or signed by someone on the Beatles staff -- but still --- dont' do it Norma!

Meet the Beatles for Christmas





December 25, 1964 and you finally get the record you've been waiting for -- Meet the Beatles!   Unfortunately, your parents are using the one record player in the house to play Christmas records.  So you lay on the couch and re and re-read the back of the album while your stupid siblings pose for photos with their crap.

The Star Club




I love photos like this!   Here is a guy standing by a poster advertising Little Richard at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany on October 29.     You can also spot an Elvis poster and a Beatles poster on the wall as well!    The Beatles began playing the Star Club on November 1, 1962.
