Kudos to Salon and/or Getty Images for getting Prue’s name right, but shame on them, because as presented at this link, the ladies have lost their pretty heads!
There, that’s better!
Y’know, Getty Images doesn’t really own the rights to many of the pictures they claim belong to them. They just slap on their name and call it their own. Getty didn’t specify the location where the photo was taken, but it was Twickenham Studios.
When another hundred years or so have passed, this has my vote as the Beatles song that will endure above all others.
What’s that being recited in the background? It’s a passage from Shakespeare’s King Lear.
Today is Prue’s birthday, and I am hoping to arrange something very special for her. I’ve had a “Why didn’t I think of this before??” brainstorm.
There is something that I have promised to Prue, that’s long overdue, and I’m not quite ready to deliver. So I’m feeling very guilty about that, but Mary Quant’s passing requires me to contact Prue for a comment.
A tip o’ the Dog Rat toupee to tastewar for catching a video tour, posted today, of Studio 2 at Abbey Road. The place was known as EMI studios when the Beatles were recording there. There’s a lot of tech talk about vintage gear.
Studio 2 is a huge room for pop music recording, and there’s discussion about the room’s acoustics. This early Beatles recording, engineered by Norman “Hurricane” Smith, is a good example of the effect of the room on the sound.
When the Beatles were close to landing in New York, 59 years ago today, DJ Bob “Bob-a-Loo” Lewis was on 77 Musicradio WABC.
