Just wanted to pass on that none other than insider (and author) Tony Bramwell of 'Magical Mystery Tours: my life with the Beatles' has confirmed that the original 2 Virgins photos only had John and Yoko as he showed John how to set the auto-timer on his camera and then came back the next day to pick up and deliver the roll of film for processing and picked up the photos to the development lab per his book and he could see there was nobody else in the original photos.<br /><br />What happened is that after the 2 Virgins album came out, some "professor" (per Yoko's comment) added a naked photo of himself to a picture of the 2 Virgins front album cover, then had that photo enlarged and sent as a poster size photo portrait. The upshot was that John and Yoko thought it was funny and they had it framed and hung on the mantel over the fireplace as shown in the above photo. Apparently this was fairly easy for a photo lab to do back in 1969.<br /><br />It was a joke to John and John enjoyed shocking visitors who came to visit.<br /><br />Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842006873502884641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042906385488172173.post-47657839003981421422009-10-08T23:18:35.701+01:002009-10-08T23:18:35.701+01:00Hello.

There are lots of shots of the front gate, obviously, but not that many of the interior. I think there are some great photos of the ground floor room from August 69 with John and Yoko, taken by Linda. Are those the ones you mean? I don't even have a copy of those - though I'd like to, if anyone out there has them. Paul has always been quite cautious about being pictured inside his homes - unlike John.kenwoodlennonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086673613903823046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042906385488172173.post-3059597347894074492009-10-08T22:49:29.700+01:002009-10-08T22:49:29.700+01:00First, amazing blog.

It's incredible how much detail is put into Kenwood photos and comparisons, etc. Really, great job.<br /><br />Secondly, I was wondering if you had any more rare 7 Cavendish Avenue photos. I noticed you had a few good ones, but I was wondering if you had any more rarer shots of Cavendish. I've seen a few like Paul with Martha on the front steps and in the front yard, and the one with John and Yoko writing in the backroom/den by the backyard, but I was wondering if you had any rarer photos in your Cavendish collection (assuming you have a Cavendish collection).<br />I know Paul's house wasn't as documented as the others, but I figured I'd ask.<br /><br />Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042906385488172173.post-51703209523298281722009-10-07T09:44:41.870+01:002009-10-07T09:44:41.870+01:00digging the Mr Kite poster on the mantle piece.digging the Mr Kite poster on the mantle piece.Dog Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11718193717573553446noreply@blogger.com
