I'd never seen this photograph until yesterday. Uncropped and away from its Rubber Soul context, it's just four men in the park. Standing in front of a bush. But what really jars with me is John Lennon's trousers: he's wearing jeans. Or denims as they were probably referred to at the time. Not a hangable offence by any stretch of the imagination; it just doesn't sit right with me. I realise that the matching suits had long gone and the Sergeant Pepper dressing up hamper wouldn't come out for at least another 18 months. But, I don't know, it's just not...right.
I know what you mean but if the photo was cut a little lower we'd also see that Ringo was in a rah-rah skirt.
ReplyDeleteBut it's really lovely to see the bigger (and undistorted) picture and I adore their jackets...
ReplyDeleteI looked at this last night off your Twitter link and that's the first thing I thought, I was really surprised he was wearing jeans, and jeans that particular shade of blue. They seem anachronistic.
ReplyDelete...perhaps Starr isn't wearing anything at all!
ReplyDeleteJeans and a suede jacket very John Denver at the time
It's irrational, I know, but this photograph has been bothering me all day. What next? A previously unfound Director's cut of A Hard Day's Night - in colour?
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that before I got as far as the jeans, my first thought was how trim John looks. What a terrific image.
