Title: The Beatles, possible unseen photos.
Post by: Fly on December 13, 2014, 08:38:17 PM: I've come into posession of these photos. Don't know if they are originals or copies.
The watermarks have been done by me. Anyone ??

The top one looks familiar - maybe from one of their films.

Post by: Fly on December 13, 2014, 09:23:25 PM: I've googled loads and can't find these pics.
If the top one is of one of their films, is this an actual photo from the film being shot.
The photo's are 10 x 8 inch.

Post by: Fly on December 14, 2014, 06:09:00 PM: I didn't want people downloading the unaltered images that I believe are unseen.
I'm trying to find out ;)

Post by: Pete on December 14, 2014, 06:40:54 PM: Right. The first has got "Hard Days Night" feel about it. I wonder if it is.

Why don't you approach a Beatles memorabilia site about it?

Post by: Fly on December 14, 2014, 07:16:01 PM: Posted the pics on the Beatles Facebook page yesterday. No replies yet.
Posted them to Paul McCartney's Twitter account about an hour go. You never know :)

I've had an hour or more tonight on Google and other search engines and can't find the same two pictures anywhere.

That's what I was thinking Pete.

Post by: Fly on December 14, 2014, 08:57:25 PM: I think it's earlier IMHO, unless it was a shot from a film shoot. No one seems to be giving them the time of day.

Post by: Old Cruser on December 14, 2014, 09:10:14 PM: I had an autograph album with many famous stars signatures in it.
A relative worked in a night club in America years ago where they frequented. He got the signatures.
His mum brought the autograph book back as a gift for me.
Among them were Elvis, Pat Boone, Fred Astair, Lucille Ball, John Wayne, Bing Crosby etc.
They are not worth much unless put on a photograph professionally I was told.

I also have a boxed singles album of the Beatles in mint condition.
Played them once only to record so I could listen to them.
I checked up on the value a few years ago - seems it's the wrong colour box to be worth anything ;D
