The Beatles recording ‘Can’t Buy Me Love', 'You Can’t Do That', 'And I Love Her', 'I Should Have Known Better' for the “A Hard Day’s Night” soundtrack/album at EMI Studios, Abbey Road - Studio Two, circa February 25, 1964. Photography © Apple Corps Ltd (http://www.thebeatles.com/). IMHO “A Hard Day’s Night” is woefully underappreciated. It’s one of the best albums ever made, especially when the time frame they were forced to perform in is taken into account.

“I had originally planned to turn up as a Musketeer, but at the last minute, John suddenly exclaimed, ‘Let’s go as Teddy Boys, and dress the way we always wished we could when we were at school. Let’s do it properly this time.’ We both made a terrific impression at the party, but were nonetheless eclipsed by such inspired impersonations as Peter Brown’s periwigged King Louis XIV of France, and Apple press officer Derek Taylor’s Nazi-uniformed Hitler. Cilla Black and her husband, Bobby Willis came as, respectively, a Cockney labourer, and a nun. However, Freddie Lennon, who appeared as a trash collector, achieved the most realistic impression of all.”

Photos from The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour fancy dress party held on the 21st December 1967 at the Westbourne Suite at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London. As well as John’s Teddy Boy, Ringo is a circus ringmaster, Maureen is an Indian squaw and Paul and Jane are pearly king and queen. George and Pattie also attended - George as a swashbuckling Errol Flynn (where are the photos of that?!) and Pattie as a Eastern style belly dancer. Yep, this is that party.

“Three Songs” by Leadbelly, filmed in the 1940s (I think 1945). This is the single most amazing thing I’ve ever found on YouTube.
