My sister Jean pointed out a photograph I didn’t recall seeing before, of Peter, Paul, and (the recently departed) Mary with the Beatles. The date was April 17, 1964, and the place was a posh club in London called Les Ambassadeurs, where some scenes in “A Hard Day’s Night” were filmed.
It must have been a brief meeting, because the shooting schedule was so hectic that even Ed Sullivan was given the bum’s rush. An interview in the club’s garden that he filmed for his variety show lasted only a minute and a half. But for his trouble Sullivan was sent an exclusive preview clip of the movie, that didn’t make the final cut, of the Beatles performing “You Can’t Do That.” I posted it over a year ago, at this link.
Gerry – Gosh, I couldn’t say. Have you taken it out of the frame, to see if there’s an indication of who published it?
Hi Doug,
I bought a huge framed 27×27 copy of this photo at a closeout of a furniture store in Illinois. I checked ebay . No hits. Any idea of its rarity or value. Curious? Let me know if you find any info.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Gerry
And it’s not Murray the K. Dunno!
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that photo of JPG&R and PP&M! Great! But who is the mystery man behind Ed? It’s not Zelig.
