25 March 1963 - Monday The Cavern Matthew Street, Liverpool Photographer: Dezo Hoffman On this day, Dezo Hoffman photographed The Beatles in several locations throughout Liverpool. I cannot specifically determine the sequence of these locations but it appears as though The Cavern was the first stop then on to Horne Brothers Barbershop, Allerton Golf Course and finally Paul's home on Forthlin Road. Asisde from producing many famous photos, this day was significant for two reason. Both focus on Ringo. The was the day that Ringo got his first true "Beatles haircut". For the previous seven months, while letting his hair grow a little, he had simply combed his 1950s hairstyle forward in a rather odd Beatle-esque manner. This was the day that the famous Beatle haircut became universal within the band. Horne Brothers Barbershop Allerton Golf Course Forthlin Road Also on this day, Dezo Hoffman brought along is personal movie camera. Several film clips were shot this day creating the first color films of The Beatles with Ringo. The films circulate in collectors' circles. Does anyone have them in mpg format and would be willing to contribut them to The Savage Young Beatles. If so, please contact me at beatlesource@yahoo.com. |
