John Lennon was shot dead by Mark Chapman.
45 years ago, hard to believe.
I can't talk about the Beatles dispassionately because they were such a massive influence on my young life that they feel like part of me. I had a number of Beatles trinkets (Beatles tray, Beatles plastic wig) and used to buy all their singles on Parlophone when they came out.
If their first film "A Hard Days Night" comes on the tele, I urge you to watch it, specially if you are a youngster. It's both a fascinating slice of British social history and a catalogue of their brilliant early music.


Just like I said. British social history in spades.The official Beatles tray was made at the Metal Box in Neath.
They went on strike over the wig in the Metal Box once too. View attachment 7121View attachment 7122

How do you know I don't still have the original?You should get one of the wigs.![]()
