Of course we all love the Beatles, but everyone has a few songs or an album that you just don’t like- surely its the same for pictures/photos…

Mine would have to be:

   Image Enlarger

 Because Ringo’s hair is awful. And why is Paul pinching himself? And what on Earth possessed John to pair a black v-neked vest with an army coat and white trainers? And all their faces look very strange.

 

Anybody else want to share their least-favourite pic?

 

DISCLAIMER: In no way am I suggesting that the Beatles were not the four most gorgeous human beings ever to walk the planet. Because they were.

Yes! I’ve always really hated the pic in the blue ticket: 

Image Enlarger

John and Paul look all right, but George and Ringo… well there’s just something odd about them. It doesn’t look like them at all. I couldn’t find the image on its own, but there’ll be full-size versions out there. Anyway, I’ve always hated it.

I LOVE this shot. Just before they played CBGBs. I think Oingo Boingo opened!

/ seriously? What year was this? It looks very 80s (obviously not).

I never liked this one, it is just so weird… They don’t look like The Beatles at all, they all have these weird expressions on their faces. First when I saw it in a smaller size, I wasn’t sure if it were the real Beatles, because they looked so unnatural.

For me, Paul’s hair is too helmet-y.

George is my favourite, but… yeech. 

There’s also another picture of him that I hate, but I couldn’t find it. In the picture it sort of looks like he’s dressed as a train conductor, and it’s the most awkward photo of any Beatle I’ve seen.

Don’t get me wrong I’m totally in love with Paul…But the way his hair looks all thin in the front is just not right. It looks like he decided to cut it himself. 

Perhaps this is proof of Faul? a-hard-days-night-george-10

Few things scream “60’s photography!” like overealous color retouching.

Now that’s just goofy! Was that done for a TV Times advert or something? I’d like to see what other photos were taken during that shoot, if any were released.

GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

@vonbontee You want more, you say?

They’re all from the ’64 Paris shoot. Nothing beats the George ones for that orange spray-tan look, though.

Ah Paris, it all makes sense now! That’s one of those silly Capitaine Louis Renault caps, not a train conductor’s after all. And dig that expression on Paul’s face.

I have no idea what the photog was going for in that photograph. It’s truly silly and strange.
