A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE BEATLES


1962  The Beatles perform at the Casbah Coffee Club, West Derby, Liverpool.
1963  On a rare day off from recording and performing, The Beatles spend the day with photographer Dezo Hoffman, who shoots both still photos and some 8mm movie footage of The Beatles at a variety of locations around Liverpool.
1964  
Filming at the Scala Theatre in London for "A Hard Day's Night" (as yet untitled).
1966  The Beatles pose for photos for the cover of the American LP "Yesterday and Today", taken by photographer Robert Whitaker. The Beatles pose in butcher's smocks, with dismembered dolls and pieces of butchered meat. One of these is used for the famous/infamous "butcher" album cover that is recalled/banned by horrified Capitol Records executives.
1970  Phil Spector continues transforming the "Get Back" tapes into the "Let It Be" album. Editing and re-mixing "For You Blue" and "Two of Us". He also works on "Teddy Boy", which will be dropped from the album, partly due to the fact that the song is included on Paul McCartney's soon-to-be-released solo album "McCartney".
