if i recall correctly it was about 2 weeks after this photo session that john told the others he was leaving the band. well, the look on john’s face pretty much sez it all here.

i think he looks great too and i agree with you, louise, about his androgyny. i also thought the guy on the right of the photo was mal. what about the guy walking beside paul, does anyone know who that is?

@henry…
thanks for the Telefunken machine photos. Is the reel of tape blank and awaiting a custom length to be cut/spun onto a take-up reel? Also, what kind of hub is the supply reel? Is it ‘reely’ one sided?
Thank you, ever so kindly for your great info…and time!

Wow, Tammy, that’s interesting. One would think they would have changed them after 50 years.

Not bowing to Imelda probably destroyed any hope of a Philippines Rhodes Scholarship…what pressure!!!

In the photograph, they were probably editing tape, since the head covers are removed from the machine in order to precisely mark the tape with china graph pencil just on the edit spot. Removing the head covers is a tedious proceeding that involves unscrewing lots of tiny screws, removing parts, and trying to avoid losing all the parts and screws.

Dear Lizzie…
I really believe it’s all a dream…
About the brownies…I think you should try my cookies…
I am the hit of the neighborhood. Everybody calls them ‘twilight scones’.
They have a high THC content…John would have loved them. I think you would, too. After eating one of them, you will forget about food. Much laughter will ensue but it’s no joke! That’s just part of living in California(L.A. County)…medical marijuana?
Glaucoma?
(this place has everything)

I think he looks great here. This is one of those photos that proves how effortlessly androgynous Paul was and still is. David Bowie planned his androgyny carefully. For Paul, it just came naturally.

It is a wonder that John’s leg did not get stuck between those wrought iron bars. George did not have to worry about his leg getting stuck.

I guess we have to be grateful for small mercies, and the studio and equipment is still as intact as it is, it horrifies me when i hear of, and see studios disapear, or changed in a big way. I remember walking around NY trying to find the locations of all the Fab related studios, most were gone. I just found this old post by me http://beatlephotoblog.com/starting-over-2 Plus this one http://www.tammytingles.com/?p=829

I’m just amazed John ever got it together to press ‘play and record’ on the machine the night they recorded Two Virgins even under the best conditions, John was lucky if he could figure out how to work a can opener, add to that probably being stoned, and filled with lust ..
