The Atlantic covers Brian Kehew and Kevin Ryan, authors of “Recording the Beatles“, with former Beatles engineer Ken Scott, at the Abbey Road Studios.
Inside the hallowed hall

Kim Jong is ill
Perhaps Miller was attempting to introduce North Korea to Sixties British Beat culture.
Bucket Brigade
Before the ice bucket challenge there was the fire bucket challenge! As demonstrated here by the Beatles. George could do a good Stan Laurel face.
Happy Prue Day!
A very Happy Birthday for the wonderful Prudence Bury-Fuchs! This is a promotional photo with Prue and Terry, her first husband, after they were married and had moved to New York in 1965.
They were promoting the Youthquake fashion campaign, about which I’ll have more later.
There is a new Blu-ray release coming from Criterion of A Hard Day’s Night. I’m very pleased to see that Criterion includes Prue in the cast list.
Pathe-tic!
British Pathé has put 85,000 videos on YouTube, including this one, for all of you youngsters to watch if you don’t understand what all the excitement was about with the Beatles.
Feeling in the pink
A week already since I posted something. Being Sunday again, my usual routine is to listen to the Beeb, and today’s Johnny Walker’s Sounds of the 70’s on BBC Radio 2 featured Mike McGear, otherwise known as Paul McCartney’s kid brother, who played a bit of “Lily the Pink.” Mike’s on the left in this video, with a song he and his mates in the Scaffold put out in 1968.
Before Lily, the Scaffold had this ditty. I knew these records from WBCN in Boston, which was the first American outlet for Monty Python.
