Фотографии периода записи альбома Abbey road. 22 Feb-20 Aug 1969

Довольно странно. Обратил внимание, что практически весь год Джон был при бороде. Когда же было сделано фото на фоне разбитой машины?






John Lennon crashes his car in Scotland



While holidaying in Scotland with Yoko Ono, her daughter Kyoko and his son Julian, John Lennon crashed his white British Leyland Austin Maxi car in Golspie near Loch Eriboll in the Highlands.

John Lennon's autograph, July 1969 Lennon was a notoriously bad driver who had rarely been behind the wheel since passing his test in 1965. He was poor at navigating roads and often failed to notice other traffic.

The roads around Golspie were narrow, and Lennon lost control of the car, driving it into a roadside ditch. He, Ono and Kyoko sustained cuts to the face and Ono's back was injured.

They were taken to Golspie's Lawson Memorial Hospital where Lennon was given 17 facial stitches, Ono 14 in her forehead, and Kyoko four.

Julian Lennon was treated for shock but was otherwise unhurt. He was taken to stay with Lennon's Aunt Mater in Durness, around 50 miles away, before his mother Cynthia took him back to London the following day. When she arrived at the hospital to demand an explanation from Lennon he refused to see her.

Lennon remained in hospital for five days. He later told reporters, "If you're going to have a car crash, try to arrange for it to happen in the Highlands. The hospital there was just great."

Although Lennon was never intending to attend, 1 July was the first official day of recording for what became the Abbey Road album. The crash further delayed his return to London, and after being discharged from hospital he spent three days at home before finally rejoining The Beatles on 9 July.

Yoko Ono suffered worse injuries in the crash than Lennon, and was pregnant at the time. Keen to keep a close eye on her wellbeing, he arranged for Harrods to deliver a double bed to the studio, and had a microphone suspended above it for her to add her thoughts during the sessions that followed.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono holiday in Scotland

12.00pm, Sunday 29 June 1969 (41 years ago)

June 1969 was a month of rest for The Beatles, who were taking a break from the Abbey Road sessions. Following a brief trip to Wales, John Lennon and Yoko Ono drove to Scotland for a brief holiday on 29 June.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono in Scotland with Julian Lennon and Kyoko Cox The couple left their white Rolls-Royce at home, and instead took a customised Mini Cooper. They were accompanied by Lennon's six-year-old son Julian and Ono's five-year-old daughter Kyoko Cox. Julian happened to be visiting Lennon and was brought along without his mother Cynthia being informed.

On the first leg of the journey, to visit his aunts Nanny and Harrie in Liverpool, Lennon realised the Mini was too small to carry the four of them and their luggage,. He instructed his chauffeur Les Anthony to bring them a more practical British Leyland Austin Maxi. Anthony then took the Mini back to Weybridge.

They stayed in the small village of Durness, in Sutherland in the Highlands. Lennon had previously enjoyed childhood holidays in the area between the ages of nine and 14, staying at the remote family croft at 56 Sangomore at Sango Bay which he had helped his Uncle Bert to renovate.

Lennon's cousin Stanley Parkes later recalled:

John never forgot those times at Durness. They were among his happiest memories. He loved the wilderness. John was nine when he started coming up with my family to the croft in Durness. The croft belonged to my stepfather, Robert Sutherland, and John just loved the wildness and the openness of the place. We went fishing and hunting and John loved going up into the hills to draw or write poetry. John really loved hill walking, shooting and fishing. He used to catch salmon. He would have been quite a laird. In the last letter to me before he was killed he quoted a famous Scottish saying that says 'It's a braw, bricht moonlicht nicht since I last had a word'.

безусловно. Но ракурс интересный

Не был только на сессиях Get Back, в начале года. Спасибо за фото.
Кстати, интересно было бы увидеть фото с февральских или ранне-весенних сессий записи песен, вошедших потом в Abeey Road, и выпущенных отдельно на синглах как Old Brown Shoe.

Это да, но машину он грохнул летом, выходит, где-то в районе осени он сбривал всю растительность. - единственное объяснение данной фотографии.

bk, Михаил Круг, спасибо за фото.

На здоровье, Beatlekid

Вот еще один аргумент о промежуточном бритье 69 года
