It won't let me copy the photo.... someone else might be able to do it.... but the photo of John, August 7, 1980, the first day of recording Double Fantasy.... he looks fantastic, with long hair and a light tinge.... nothing like he looked on the cover of the album....
I loved it when he cut his hair and on the cover of the album it looked like his old “Beatle” haircut!

True, Nancy. Very young Beatle-like on that cover.... But I just prefer the "scruffy" (at the time; probably even now) look of the Beatles. The long hair.... the beards... probably because I'm also a 'scruff"!... I think George always looked better with long hair. 1995 Anthology, he was still rocking it. And John.... geez, he had a lot of different looks through his time. I'm on a John bender-listening at the moment.... How good are Instant Karma, God, Gimme Some Truth and Watching the Wheels,,, etc,,, etc....

Instant Karma is my favorite (fast) song of his. Woman is my favorite slow song. (referring to solo songs only)
Sorry, but we must agree to disagree. The only facial hair I liked were the Sgt. Pepper moustaches. I did like Paul’s beard when it was short in the fall of 1968. -

I love Woman. One of my faves. And I still think the most haunting/poignant/one of his most brilliant songs ever was "God".... always sends shivers down my spine.

None of them look too happy here on their “thrones.”

Obviously a photoshop

Circa 1965

1964

Who notices something in this photo that we’ve never seen before?!

@njr said in The Beatles Picture Thread:
@toris Yes, especially with the sun shining on it and when it was clean, he was quite a ginger!
John was a ginger?! Now that’s a bit shocking. I’ve never noticed his having ginger roots in photos. -

P.S. John’s hair is spectacularly ginger on the cover of Abbey Road!
(and other photos - his mom was a ginger) -
John with the harmonica, 1963

Oh God yes.... Yesterday how privileged we were to witness our Yesterday... Love to what these four boys did for us.

Well you must be referring to the rings or the sunglasses if it’s his handsI was always Paul fan and so I’m curious, yet won’t get the right answer for John…

Since nobody has guessed what I was referring to about John - look at his left hand! He’s wearing a wedding ring which he never did in the past. Someone told me he had just started wearing it sometime in 1980.
