People called her Francie. I had never seen these, they’re great! Love to all from a fat lady freezing in London – how can you people stand this kind of weather? I want me sandals and cotton dresses now! xx
Yes to george & Ringo being reflected in the mirror.
Regarding Paul & Francie, it’s amazing the turn Paul’s life would take shortly thereafter. Within 9 months he would be married to Linda & an expectant father!
The photos are amazing, as are the rest featured in Don McCullin’s new book “A Day in the Life of the Beatles”.
OK, WHAT is Paul wearing in photo No. 1? (Clearly no pants, but what is he supposed to be dressed as? And WHAT is Paul, and I presume John, doing in photo No. 2? (It seems like it’s John because he was the one wearing white tennis shoes that day.)
I bought a copy of A Day in the Life of the Beatles and its a lovely book, filled with shots I hadn’t seen before. Paul and John are goofy in quite a few of the shots. It’s a nice addition to my Beatles book collection.
Brian: the event was a photo session often referred to as the “Mad Day Out” from July 28, 1968. Part of the session took them to a theater where they put on a bunch of various costumes.
d I agree, I bought the book and reasoned the white footwear was Johns.
As to why, when would John strike ?when Paul was vulnerable ie his trousers were off.
Also, and you may say its vanadalism ( and vague link to Lizzies comment on Poster above) I cut the string that held in the pages and now have 5 or so sections.Why? Because I cant scan the pictures flat etc
And why is there blank white pages every so often when theres contact sheets with unseen shots?Is John being gross re nose “bench” picture?
Good book though, honest.
stephenmcg: you are correct: footwear are john’s in 2nd photo.
They appear to be the same white trainers John wore on the cover of Abbey Road album. And on his trip to Gibraltar to marry Yoko.
I am a fan of those shoes, I recently bought identical pair, (identical brand and design) and am wearing them now!
They are made by “Spring Court” brand, well known French label. Designed in France. No, I’m not from that company, nor am i plugging them for profit. Just a another crazy fan.
Is Paul inventing “break-dancing”?
Ok, this is now the most weirdest photo of Paul I’ve ever seen. Nice find!
Francine Scwartz with Paul in photo #1. She was his girlfriend briefly in the summer of ’68.
Photo #2 reminds me of Paul the way he looks now.
Schwartz
Lennon rugby-tackling McCartney?
I can’t work out the event either: Revolution/Hey Jude for the David Frost shows? Maybe

There you go a Tammy, a post of his shoes!
Hadnt realised they had been glued to his feet!
Not unlike the green sheet in January 69!!!!

is francine the one jane caught paul in bed with at cavendish?
That’s her.
Shes also the female extreme left watching Paul play “Blackbird”, Apple 68 film and Anthology.
Is there a blonde haired child between the two of them, I can see a little black boot between John’s legs.
Mal Evans’ son accompanied the group on this photo session although I don’t see a child in this photo.
Break dancing? More like break neck dancing!
There’s photos and video of the Mad Day out here. Looks like over 100 photos used.

It’s the Ob-ladi-ob-la-da and Martha My Dear and Dont Pass Me By promo clips.
You`re right about the kid – there is a small tennis sneaker between John`s legs! Seems they weren`t tackling each other but having fun with the kid.
The girlfriend is little…
That is Paul’s shoe between John legs not a kids.
It’s the second Mad Day location, Mercury studio.
