Great pictures sure but are you sure they are fan club connected?(and yes Im implying the type at bottom is fake),as I wrote before this is not how uk fan club pictures looked!!
Am I ever sure of anything? Not at all. If they are fake fan club photos, then there are many reproductions of them floating around. Maybe the real club didn't sell them. Maybe a total fan-based club did and put "official" at the bottom. All I know is that the photos I see like this all have 1969-1970 at the bottom.
Indeed..I first got the top picture as a 10 by 8 ,or therabouts,at a early 90s convention with no border on it at all,let alone type-go figure! Its just that many of these pictures do not look remotely planned, or in the case of JL in studio 2,above,well taken pictures to be official in any way. Anyone out there remember buying these in 1969 or 70?
Long hair with "sidies" and clean shaven. My favorite look of Paul's. And Linda. WOW! No wonder Paul was attracted to her. Blonde, shapely, beautiful, mature, and independent. I'd say!
Yeah, Paul`s hair and sidies look great here. Any date for these? Maybe photos taken after the wedding to give the Linda the the officially approved seal (IF they are official fanclub photos).
This blog is to highlight photos and stories of people who have met the Beatles in person. And while fan taken photos are my favorite, I also like to include vintage fan photos and other photos that show the Beatles meeting fans.
The idea behind this blog is to follow in the footsteps of the great Beatle fanzines of the 1970's & 1980's such as The Write Thing, The Harrison Alliance, With a Little Help from my Friends, Paperback Writer, etc etc. Photos and article from those publications and others are reproduced here to preserve the history of the fans who met one or more Beatle in person.
If you have ever met one of the Beatles and have a story or pictures to share, please contact me, Sara, at Starshyne9@yahoo.com.
I have never met the Beatles (besides in my dreams) but love fan photos. These photos are from my collection, which spans 17 years of online photo collecting and scanning books. I do not claim any copyright of these photos or stories. Some of them are sent to me and published with permission. Others are scanned from magazines, books and found in various places online. I do not watermark photos that I place on this blog because I do not own any of the photos. These photos are on this blog in an attempt to preserve the history of the Beatles. If you own the rights to a photo and wish to have it removed from this blog, please contact me.
