probably the most awesome photo I’ve ever seen of the pre-Beatles ( or after for that matter! ) The quality of the snap & their youth astound me!

Pete Best?
December 5th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
no, pete best was actually pretty good looking, but maybe a bit too sullen (if I may answer before mr mcnab gets a chance to).
December 5th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Very very very cool.

Hi, I’m an admin for a group called TASTE’S THEORY (Photos with philosophy), and we’d love to have this added to the group!

I’d've been swooning over Johnny boy there if I was alive at the time… hoooowie, what a fine strapping young lad!

I would also like to know where I can obtain wallpaper like that in this day and age. That stuff is sweet!
December 5th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
that wallpaper predates the beatles by about 30 years
its from the mid to late 30s
nicely done with a moulding around it and the picture rail above

The guy on the right was "Nigel," but he obvioulsy got into the Guinness a little too early in life & never made the band.
Yes, I did indeed make that up, so keep your outrage to yourself, thanks.
December 5th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
adorable–even the one in the sweater vest

The photograph in question was shot by Paul’s brother Michael McCartney. It’s on the cover of his book "Mike Mac’s White and Blacks / plus one color".

I have one signed by Mike himself
George Harrison didn’t meet the Querry Men until February 6th, 1958.

An amazing piece of music history. It always amazes me how an innocent snap can turn into so valuable…..
December 5th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
John’s guitar looks like a piece of crap compared to George’s and Paul’s guitars and probably was, too.

My 5 year old son loves the Beatles soooo much. Can you imagine he knows more songs of the Beatles more than i do, and he can play it on Rock Band Wii very well.
December 5th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
the answer to your question of "how did i get 120K+ views?"
Stumbleupon brought me here, today, 1/18/10. nice pic..
December 5th, 2009 at 9:45 pm

December 5th, 2009 at 10:28 pm

Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome color pic !
December 6th, 2009 at 12:45 am
I posted the picture next to it in the Original 1950’s group and got over 700 views in just a few days. I’m sure my picture benefited from being next to a great early picture of the Beatles (sans Ringo).
