1968-05: Apple Tailoring...

... and an incredible article on the 1968-05-22 day in their life:
http://webgrafikk.com/blog/john-and-yoko/apple-tailoring-a-day-in-the-life/

Quoting:
"On Wednesday 22 May 1968, eighteen months after they first met at the Indica Gallery and nineteen days after they consummated their new relationship, John Lennon and Yoko Ono made their first joint public appearance in London. The occasion? The Beatles company Apple were celebrating the opening of their second clothing shop with a press party and fashion show at the trendy Club Dell’Aretusa, 107 King’s Road, Chelsea. The Apple Boutique had already opened its doors to the public on 7 December the previous year, and now Apple Tailoring was to mark Apple’s second foray into the business of clothing retail. To do this, Apple had turned the popular Dandie Fashions store at 161 King’s Road into their own storefront under the management of Australian designer Kenneth Malcolm John Crittle. In his vision, ‘civic and theatrical’ men and women’s clothing would be the main feature. The store had been ‘completely redecorated in white and apple green.’"

Citando:
"After filming of the "Circus" was over, Russell was contacted by the Beatles' assistant Neil Aspinall, who wanted to see the pictures of John. "If you were working with one of [the Beatles]," says Russell, "you were probably in pretty good stead to work with all of them." From there, he ended up shooting the "Get Back" project sessions (which would later become "Let It Be") at Twickenham Studios, the Beatles' famed Apple rooftop concert, and eventually what would be the band's final photo shoot, at Tittenhurst Park in August 1969.

"What you get from those last photos [at Tittenhurst] is the way they really were," explains Russell. "And the way they were, was over.""

1967: The story of the Saltzman pics in India

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/jan/21/beatles-ashram-rishikesh-india-paul-saltzman


Quoting:
"Saltzman had seen the Beatles play in Toronto in 1964 and enjoyed their music, but had no plan to speak to them. After his first meditation session however he walked over to Lennon and McCartney who started to tease him about his “colonial” background. “John talked with that wonderful wry wit, asking me if I worshipped the Queen. His wife, Cynthia, then told them to leave me alone, as I had only just arrived.”

Saltzman sat with them as they worked on many new songs during their stay. “I watched them playing Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da and they were so playful and joyous,” he said. “Ringo also showed me how to use his film camera because he was making a film about the Maharishi and he wanted to appear in it as well. Ringo and I left Rishikesh at the same time, well before the problems at the end, when John and Paul were told the Maharishi had behaved badly and decided to go."

Back in Canada, Saltzman put the photographs aside and returned to his career in film and television production. He began hunting for the pictures 30 years later when his daughter, a second generation Beatles’ fan, asked if it was really true he had once met them in India.

“I searched my house twice and called my dad to ask him to search his. Finally I found them in a box under a couch,” said Saltzman.


He was advised to take the images to Sotheby’s in London, but decided not to sell. Instead he brought out a book in 1999, followed by a high-end art book with better colour reproduction. These improved prints will illustrate his new book."
