The Way They Were
The Beatles in Hamburg, 1960. One of the most iconic photos of the second half of the 20th century -- rock or otherwise -- as you've never seen it before.
That Astrid Kircherr really had an eye, didn't she?
To the Beatles everlasting credit, when ANTHOLOGY came out, with some of the demo tracks with Pete included, they apparently settled a couple of million dollars on him.
I love that we can see the crop lines...
ReplyDeleteIs Pete Best wearing Hush Puppies? Or, as they're called in England, "brothel-creepers"?
ReplyDeleteTh guy never really fit in, did he?
Nothing wrong with hush puppies or 'creepers'.
ReplyDeleteNo great band doesn't have a great drummer.
And Pete's drumming wasn't up to snuff.
I've heard the Decca demos.
