At the Sgt Pepper's launch party, May 1967, London (possibly taken by Linda! ) https://scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/18809095_1336127806504563_8399089060232036352_n.jpg
That's a shot I've never seen!
Thanks! I hesitated to say Linda took the photo, because there was another photographer there, who ended up taking photos of Paul and Linda in conversation, that went out on the AP wires... and made the newspapers. But judging by Paul's sweet smile, she must have been close by....
I just saw a pic that showed the view from the right side of the Beatles and there were dozens of photographers in the room! Linda was seen kneeling in the front (they were all about 6 feet from them)
If you find that photo again, could you post it? Would be great to see it I didn't know there were that many photographers there... I heard Paul say once in an interview or something that Linda was one of only a few that were there...

June 4, 1967 --- the Beatles listen to Jimmy Hendrix's cover of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, London (I think that's Cynthia Lennon in the sunglasses, and Neil Aspinall next to John... not sure who person at the left is...) https://scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/18812708_232197070610971_4307808049919164416_n.jpg
That's Mal Evans in the glasses! And the girl with the short hair? I don't know either! (but that does look like Cynthia)
Thanks, for the correction about Mal! That does look more like him I was thinking the girl with the short hair could have been Francie Schwartz, but not sure of course... I've only seen one photo of her, and thought she wore her hair a bit higher on her head, even though it was short... she met Paul around the time of The White Album, so don't know if she was still in the picture (pun intended!) at the time of Sgt Pepper...

This one has Ringo standing on a small box or is that a vent. http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/the-beatles-at-the-press-launch-for-their-new-album-sergeant-peppers-picture-id97817896?s=594x594

Thanks, Oobu! Wow, I was just reading a magazine article about body language as it relates to couples, and one thing it said was "if a guy is really into you, he'll try to remain at your eye level.. by sitting down if you are, or sitting on the floor if you are" etc.... I'd say from Paul's kneeling that the article was right!

Photographer & crew asked for a pic...

Thanks for posting all these great photos, Oobu! Especially like the one of them sitting on the steps, where Paul has Ringo's hand... so sweet!

I don't think they had much choice in positioning.

Paul did not meet Francie Schwartz until the spring of 1968, so it can't be her. That photo was taken in June 1967! White Album was in 1968, after Pepper!

Looks like a grate/vent to me.

He could have stood, but he probably chose to be one of the two to kneel!

I bet they wanted J&P next to eachother. All the posing they did that day...and practically every day!

ooops! I knew that too! I guess my mind was on Paul and Linda time... June 1967 Pepper-June 1968 hookup.... so always think they're finally "together" at that point (even though they weren't quite yet) and any Francies or Maggies or other girls are long past.. But the White Album was after that... I guess just seeing how Paul and Linda were so perfect for each other made my heart all aflutter and I wasn't thinking momentarily...

The White Album was recorded May 30-October 14, 1968. Released in November. Yes, he had the hookup in Beverly Hills with Linda in late June 1968. But also during this time he was with Francie until sometime in August (she was definitely around for the July 28, 1968 Mad Day Out photo shoot) On July 20th Jane had announced their engagement was off. Then early September he spends a few days with Maggie on a beach vacation. Then Linda arrives in London mid-Sept. After they finish the album, Paul and Linda fly to NYC and come back Oct. 31st with Heather.

Yes, probably is.

On the road again.

^ That last one would never take place with anyone post 9/11! Just read/looked at Tom Murray's photo book of Mad Day Out (July 28, 196. It's great! He said their last stop was Paul's house to take photos in his geodesic dome. You all know there were always girls outside. When all 4 Beatles got out of the car, he said two of the girls fainted!
