The Beatles Picture Thread

What I find interesting about this photograph and this period in general is that, despite the Sgt Pepper album being just a couple of weeks away from release, and despite that all four Beatles are sporting moustaches on its cover, Paul decides to shave his off. It straight away makes him the odd one out facially during the promotional period for the album. Given that he hadn't been clean shaven since the prevous year, why set himself apart from the others now?
I heard a rumor (probably just a joke) that John told Paul they were all going to shave their mustaches before the Sgt. Pepper launch party. Of course, John was pranking him and it wasn't true. So that was why only Paul was clean-shaven.

There is something about that 'rumour' that has a ring of truth about it. I can quite imagine John saying such a thing.

I got my 4 dolls at Woolworth's in 1964 at age 9. Wish I'd saved the original packages! Who can spot the typo in the ad?
Were these purple?
Was what purple? The packages were white, black and dark pink.
Thanks for printing up that page, a walk down memory lane. I have that BeaTle game somewhere. I also had a plastic blow up Beatle with a purple suit on, about a foot high. At one time I had the Paul one. While helping my sister move, we found the George one. Going to ask her for hers...she was going to put it on eBay. I still have the Paul coin purse that came with it. Cute photo of the chicks, wondering how John put the chick on the front of his jacket!? Wow remembering all the capes people wore back then.
You never answered my question! What were you referring to when you asked "Were these purple?"
If the dolls, as you can see the dolls wore black suits.
I have the white 3-ring binder, the tray with 4 color photos, 16 Magazine, the red white & black button, the People magazine and so much more.
You posted a black and white photo of dolls. I asked if the dolls were the purple ones since you can't tell the colors in a black and white photo. You hadnt mentioned colors or hadn't posted any color pics when I asked that question.

When I asked you "What was purple?" I posted a link so you could see the packages and dolls in color. At that point, I thought your answer to me would be "No, wasn't talking about the packages, was talking about the dolls." Do you follow me now?

I can also imagine John playing a practical joke like that... or saying "Paul, come here... your hair needs a quick comb through before we take the photos.." and then John makes Paul's hair look like Alfalfa from the Little Rascals, just before the cameras click...

Love Paul's sideswept hair in this. He looks so gorgeous, and his grandson Arthur looks just like him!

In case anyone is interested, they had been working on Maxwell's Siver Hammer. Nah, thought not !!
