Tony Barrow 

This year as seen its share of celebrity deaths, 

and its always sad when someone connected to the beatles

passes away. 

But sadly i have just read about the passing of  Tony Barrow.

He worked for Decca in the early days  and wrote te liner notes

that were on the back of the LP covers. He then started working

for Epstein at NEMS when he promised to double his salary 

that he was getting at Decca. It was his idea to send out beatles 

Christmas greetings. 

He traveled the world with the fab four in 65 and 66. 

Conducting there regular press conferences, as they became

more and more frequent whenever they were on the road.

And setting up photo shoots for the boys when they returned 

home from their punishing touring. 

It was him who compiled and edited the Magical Mystery 

Tour's cartoon strip style story booklet that came with the 

Album. 

R.I.P Tony Barrow.

A new idea

I've been busy, and had a bad jaw this week, altogether 

not making me in the mood for posting much, but that 

will all change as i will start posting more beatles stuff for

you all to look at. 

For all to see.

Every Beatles fan has something of the fab four 

around their house.  But here are some things

that Beatles fans have got, that aren't so small that

you can fit them on your bedroom set of drawers.

There are surprisingly a large number of cars dedicated

to The Beatles.  

Some are just paintings and decals and 

then some like the car above, what have been modified 

to look like the yellow submarine. 

Some people must have gone to the trouble of getting them 

printed specially to put on their cars.

This is what i want most , i do however not have the 

room for a 10 foot cartoon Lennon! 

Beatles Fans

I love anything to do with  the Beatles but lately

i am really liking Beatle fan pics from their touring

days. The passion in the fans faces tells a million 

stories. I know there are billions of Beatle fans 

around the world today but i wonder how many of 

them would act like this now? 

I like to imagine stories about each of them, 

if they got to meet the Beatles, if they spent 

time with them, or how long it took them to 

make their signs, and all so on.
