Kenwood: attic studio - 1967 & 2006.


This, sadly and happily, represents the peak of this thus far. On several different occasions vaguely contemporary photos of this room have been almost within my grasp (Joe Baiardi's wonderful and valuable vid notwithstanding), but in each case the photographer has decided that you seeing them would violate their essential etc., so unseen they remain.
None of this matters, but if it does, it is because in this room John (and Paul) wrote many of the most etc. songs of the 20th etc. right here! Next to the stuffed bunny!
As "then and now"s go, this is the tops. That bunny occupies the very spot. Oh yes. Or no.
A veritable trove has almost literally been inserted in my hard drive this evening (steady), and the results will, due to the fact that I am unemployed, be on here imminently. But this is the best one, mundane as it may be.
(This is how the room looked a few years back. Now not. So "then and thens" then.)

Kenwood: attic, June 1967.


Beat Instrumental, the Beatles Monthly's sister publication, also covered the June '67 visit to Kenwood, and featured an article about the attic studio in its October 1967 issue. Click on it for a better view:


Many thanks to Richard Morton Jack for sending this in.
