Behind the Photoshoot: Lennon and McCartney by David Bailey part tres
I finally got around to gathering these new Bailey contact sheets. Also included are individual contact sheets of John and Paul. For someone who didn't like the Beatles (especially Paul) David sure took a lot of pictures of them. He was probably just jealous.
Just John.
Just Paul.
Just John.
Just Paul.
Two Of Us
I thought I'd make a list of my favorite dynamic duos.
1. John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Who would have thought anything interesting would happen at a church fete? That's where a 15 year old McCartney introduced himself to a 16 year old Lennon, thus changing the course of history forever. Perhaps I'm being a bit dramatic, but these two are my absolute favorites.
2. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
They attended the same school and were next door neighbors until Richards moved away. They reunited a few years later on a train, where Richards spotted Jagger holding records by Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry and realized they shared the same musical taste.
3.Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding
A modern day verison of the British comedy troupes Monty Python or the Goodies. Noel met Julian after seeing him perform his solo routine at a comedy club. Both throughly impressed by each other, they decided to form a very British, very comedic partnership.
4. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page
Jimmy was surprised that Robert wasn't famous yet when he saw him performing at a college. Although not Jimmy's first choice as lead singer for Led Zeppelin, they hit it off immediately and Robert got the job.
5. Alex Turner and Miles Kane
A modern day version of Lennon and McCartney. Miles and Alex became good friends while both of their bands were on the same tour. Several collaborations led to the recording of "The Age of the Understatement" in 2008. As of yet, no new material has been released, but both Alex and Miles have stated that they're interested in working together again.
6. Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser
Why yes I am comparing these two to Lennon and McCartney as well. The American version. They met in college, and according to Andrew, meeting Ben changed the course of his life forever. Their story is very Beatlesque, with Andrew starting the band and convincing Ben to join. He did and MGMT was born.
7. D.A. Wallach and Max Drummey
If Alex and Miles, and Andrew and Ben are modern day verisons of Lennon and McCartney, then Max and D.A. are a modern version of Bob Dylan. You know how Dylan is and that's exactly how these two are, with a hint of Lennon and McCartney because well, there's two of them. They met while attending Harvard, formed a band, decided they would rather work by themselves and released their debut album "Love the Future" in 2009. They're currently working on their second album. But really, why do these new bands take so long to release new music? The Beatles had ground-breaking albums year after year.

Rare Photographs: The Lennon's and Starkey's Holiday, 1966
Here are some beautiful, colorful photos of John & Cynthia & Ringo & Maureen's 1966 trip to Trinidad and Tobago. The 2 people pictured with them are the PM Dr. Eric Williams and his daughter, Erica.

Lo and behold, more of David Bailey's contact sheets have appeared! Oh, and don't bother posting these on tumblr, since they've already been posted and re-blogged hundreds of times.
Photoshoot:John Lennon by Brian Duffy
"He's got looks that books take pages to tell"
I know I did a post on this before, but I only had 3 photos. As you can see, more Lennon by Duffy have popped up.
Behind the Photoshoot: Lennon and McCartney by David Bailey
So you might remember the photoshoot post I did about John and Paul here. Well, I found a Beatles fan/photographer's dream (well, my dream at least): David Bailey's contact sheets from that photoshoot! I just know there's more out there, and I'm on a mission to find them (not really, I'm hoping to just stumble upon them, like kind of what happened with these ones).
Happy Crimble!
The first Christmas Message The Beatles did back in 1963. I just lovelovelove their sense of humor.
All ready for the snow. I think this was taken on the set of The Beatles special chirstmas show/skits thingy they did every year or something like that (does this sentence even make sense?). Anyroad, I'm going to the snow tomorrow, so yeah, that's why I posted it.
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Some screen caps from the film Nowhere Boy. Like I said before, I think they captured the 50's teddy boy style very well. Aaron Johnson looks gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as John. Anyroad, why can't boys dress like this again? And if some still do, where can I find them?
