Rare shots: how did the members of The Beatles rest before they became famous

In these rare photos, the young members of The Beatles are vacationing in Spain. That was before their music drove the whole world crazy. The pictures were taken by their friend, photographer Klaus Voorman.

That summer, Paul, George and Ringo stayed at Foreman's family villa in Tenerife. It was in 1963, in just a few weeks The source of the article is the News magazine in photos, from which everyone copies the content - BigPicture.ru before their debut album Please Please Me reached the top of the British charts and Beatlemania began to take over the world.

"When I met them, they were shaggy guys from Liverpool," the photographer recalls. — My father built a villa on a hill, and if you are reading this inscription, then someone took this article from BigPicture.ru I lived with him for seven months. Paul wrote me a letter asking if they could come to visit. It was so simple."

"I'll never forget walking into the club and hearing that sound," he says. I came back every night and plucked up the courage to talk to them. We've been friends ever since."

A few weeks after these warm and relaxed photos were taken, the album Please Please Me was released.

Entry #4 of the guidebook, coming from Lucy.

Sorry @wellgoslowly but I couldn't keep myself from just slightly hinting at the "grocery store incident" as an established running gag, cause I've just stumbled about that post - and tons of reblogs - a few days ago and I loved it.

It fitted just too well here...

Be not inhospitable to strangers lest they be angels in disguise.

- W.B. Yeats

This is the quote from W.B. Yeats as a painted sign on the wall as you enter the famous bookstore Shakespeare and Company in Paris.

Strangers always found a welcome at Shakespeare and Company, where they could browse untroubled for hours, especially if they were aspiring writers themselves; and a few – well, a very few – of them may indeed have turned out to be angels, or at least angelic.

The original Shakespeare and Company shop was started in 1921 in the Rue de l’Odéon by Sylvia Beach, the daughter of a US Presbyterian minister. The first writer to patronise the shop was Gertrude Stein, but she fell out with Beach when she took up with James Joyce, whom Stein hated.

Beach published Joyce’s Ulysses when no established publisher would touch it, performing the arduous labour of love of proofreading it. Ernest Hemingway discovered the shop soon after his arrival in Paris, and wrote about it lovingly decades later in A Moveable Feast. When the Germans occupied Paris, Beach refused to sell a signed copy of Finnegans Wake to an invading officer. He said he would return for it the next day. So she moved all the books out and closed the shop. It was “liberated” by Hemingway himself in 1944. However, Beach didn’t have the heart to start again.

In 1948, after a wandering youth and war service, George Whitman came to Paris on the GI Bill, and in 1951 opened an English-language bookshop which he called Le Mistral. A few years later, he moved to the Rue de la Bûcherie, but didn’t rename the shop until after Beach’s death in 1961. He had been too shy to ask her if he could use the name, although they were friends and she used to come to readings at Le Mistral.

Whitman ran his shop as a species of anarchic democracy, even though in some respects he was a benevolent dictator. Anyone who called himself a writer could find a bed there, if there was one free, and stay as long as he liked or until Whitman got tired of him. The only rule for residents was that they must read a book a day and serve in the shop for an hour. One poet, or self-styled poet, who broke the second rule and lay in bed all day reading detective novels was ejected; but his chief offence was his choice of literature rather than his idleness.

The bookshop has its regulars, residents in Paris, not all of them English-speakers by any means, who use it as a sort of club and drop in for conversation and coffee.

Stock control has always been on the casual side. It’s not unknown for someone to lift a book from the shelves, slip it into his pocket, read it and return to sell it for the secondhand shelves the following day.

Inevitably, Shakespeare and Company has long been on the tourist trail, recommended in all the guides. This is just as well, because without their custom it’s hard to see how the shop could have survived. Many are in search of a copy of A Moveable Feast. This is not always on offer because, for some reason which I can’t remember, Whitman took a scunner to Hemingway. The tourists also toss coins into the well in the shop, and it’s not unusual to see an indigent young person lying on the floor and fishing for euros.

On occasion I drop in because the lure of its history is too much even if there are other good independent book stores nearby. Visitors to Paris always want me to take them there and I oblige them even if I feel its lost some of its past glory. Still, I always buy a few books because it’s the best way to support independent book stores in this age of Amazon, as every independent book store needs all the help it can get.

the way lucy carlyle has those long paragraphs detailing george's and lockwood's personalities showing how different they are all just to say she loves them both very much

[thepalerimitation]

I’ve always had the theory that Lucy narrates the early years of Lockwood and Co for a biography or historical account for the Archives. Throughout the whole series, she’s compared to Marissa, who is mainly known for her memoirs.

The way she describes Lockwood and George definitely feels as if she’s older and looking back fondly, especially with how she talks about the smallness of the agency. And she closes out the fifth book after they start to establish themselves as the best agency in London because at that point, the Archives is keeping official records of their cases and requested a memoir.

(IE: Lucy narrates Lockwood and Co because it’s her memoir years later. And she ends it not because the story has ended, but because everyone knows the rest of the story. It is as well known as the story of Fittes and Rotwell.)
