On the show Child Support, the question was if you went to your barber and asked for a haircut that was “business in the front” and “party in the back” what hairstyle were you asking for? Neither the contestant nor the kids knew it was the mullet! Paul’s got a serious one in the above pic! (Linda too!)
Yeah, I like his mullet, it reminds me of my neighbor's cute little cocker spaniel that I help take care of occasionally. In the above photo I noticed Linda has red and black fingernails, and Paul's jacket is red and black. Wonder if those were "concert outfits" that were made especially for their tour?
I wouldn’t be surprised! They look ready to hit the stage!
What year did they have their hair like that?
I'm guessing 1973? I think that was the year of the James Paul McCartney special, where they filmed him with his relatives at the pub in Liverpool... and Linda took photos of him while he sang a medley (that included "I'm a Bluebird". Love how Linda joined in on that song with him. )

Yeah, my guess was 1973 as well. I got that video with the 1971-1973 set, but haven’t had a chance to watch it yet!
Hey, go to the thread with the Revolution video (Beatles Official Videos) and read George’s lips at the beginning! Thanks!

Linda is wearing the same maternity dress she had on in August 1969 in this 1971 photo:

Yes, even though she and Paul had a financially secure income, I sense they were very frugal and probably felt it was more important to feel comfortable in what they chose to wear, rather than do endless shopping to fill their closets with hundreds of pieces of clothing they might only wear once. I think that's great because it shows they were genuine and down to earth people. They probably saved Mary's baby clothes and handed them down to Stella as well.

Cute Christmas photo posted at Linda's official instagram today. (My guess is that it's from about 1974-75, not sure) Caption says: "Polaroid of Linda in Christmas sunglasses."

Christmas photo - 1972-1973?

Who wants to sit on THAT Santa’s lap?!
He looks like he has a huge blunt in his mouth!

Of the two I would say 1972. December 1973 Linda was sporting a different hairstyle.

Thanks, Kestrel! I've found another photo where Paul is wearing a hat like Linda's. It was probably taken on same day as above.

It’s just a noisemaker that unrolls! In the pic you found, it is unrolled.

1975 or 1976
Thanks, Nancy! I love this, such a sweet family photo, the kiddos look so cute here! Not sure it was taken in 1972, though, I think this is from 1974 when the family rented a home south of Nashville while Paul & Linda and the band did some recording.

I didn’t think it’s 1974 because look how young Mary and Stella are. They can’t be nearly 5 and 3. I was thinking it was summer or fall of 1972 because of that. (And Heather looks 9, not 11) Of course I could be wrong.

Happy Paul & Linda!

I was thinking also that Stella and Mary look too young for the photo to be 1974, but I was going by the porch and rocking chairs that were in other photos of the house they rented in Nashville. Of course, they could have spent time there earlier, in 1972. 1974 might not have been the only time they were in Nashville..
