Abbey Road CD at Abbey Road!

Here’s clever photograph of somebody holding up a Abbey Road CD in the exact same spot at the actual Abbey Road location where the Beatles did their famous street crossing. It’s amazing, how perfect they managed to match everything up.

This photo would make a great print for Beatles fans.

Lennon's tooth

In the news this week, John Lennon’s tooth sold at auction for $31,500.

It was bought by a Canadian dentist who plans to display the tooth in his office, and at to various dental schools.

Lennon had the tooth removed in the sixties, and gave to his housekeeper (who had a daughter who was a Beatles fan) Lennon also gave her the brown jacket that he wore on the cover of the 1965 album Rubber Soul.

The tooth looks pretty disgusting now (and even back then!) but it really is a one of a kind collectible that cannot be reproduced anytime soon.

$31,500 for an old rotting tooth? I guess Beatle body parts are hard to get a hold of.

Strange days indeed.

Signing "Meet the Beatles" for the press 1964

Here’s a photo of John Lennon during the Beatles train ride to Washington DC in 1964. John is signing a few Beatle records for the press. I wonder if anybody still has those autographed albums, now?

John looks out a hotel window

“I once received a bra… with “I Love John” embroidered on it. It thought it was pretty original. I didn’t keep it, mind you – it didn’t fit. ” - John on a fan’s gift to him during the Beatlemania days

Here’s the Beatles in a different frame shot from the famous Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane photo shoot in 1967.

Lennon Walrus Picture

I Am The Walrus Jazz Cover

Here’s The Rat3 Trio, Ted Warren on drums, Pat Collins on bass, and Kim Ratcliffe on Guitar, recorded at the historic Rex Hotel in Toronto on January 26, 2011. The Rex is one of my favorite watering holes, it’s worth checking out if you’re into jazz or happen to be visiting Toronto.

The Rat3 Trio is doing a jazzy cover of the Beatles’s classic, “I Am The Walrus”

Goob Goob a Goob!

Enjoy!

Ringo charms a beauty queen

Ringo Starr charms Miss Indiana State Fair, Indianapolis, 1964. I love that John Lennon is laughing hysterically in the background.

John looks really "happy" being a father

Here’s a photo of John Lennon with Julian in 1962. This is one of the earliest photos taken of Julian with John. John Lennon was a great songwriter ,but he was not the greatest father to Julian. Check out this great interview of Julian on the Howard Stern Show.

Lennon owned t-shirt?

Here’s a strange item…

A t-shirt promoting the Beatles 1966 album, “Yesterday & Today” has surfaced on ebay.

The album (showing the Beatles dressed as butchers with meat and doll parts) was pulled from store shelves when it was released and was replaced by an image of the band with a suitcase.

Apparently, the seller of the shirt bought it from a guy who played in the band Elephant’s Memory.  The shirt was given to the guy by John Lennon during the early ’70s.

The seller is asking 12,000 pounds for the t-shirt on ebay.

There’s no history or proof that John Lennon actually wore the t-shirt.

‘I spent a bundle on it, hence the high price. If the original records are scarce, how rare is this piece? Good luck finding another!’

The listing states, ‘Condition: great! No rips or holes. Minor wear commensurate with age.’

I do agree with the seller that the t-shirt is extremely rare. I doubt there’s not any of these t-shirts left in the world. If Capitol records pulled the album from stores, there’s a good chance they would of pulled or destroyed any material related to the album.

Somehow I think if the t-shirt had John Lennon’s arm pit stains on it, the shirt would be worth much more.
