I wanted the last post of the year to be a special one, and it is indeed. I was actually trying to find some information about the stickers from early 1964 that said "The Beatles are coming." While looking for that, I found these instead: rare, gorgeous, fan-taken photos of John and Ringo in Greece during their time there in July 1967. Now and then I fall upon some Beatles photos that are so great that I want to share them with everyone and forget the consequences. But I have learned from my past mistakes and so I left a message on the blog that I found these treasures and asked if I could share them. Sure that these would go into the "do not share on blog" files, I was happy when I received a "yes" response!!

These photos were taken by Coco's husband, Bob, when he was 18 years old. I am not sure why he was in Greece that summer, but he and his friends were waiting for Stavros Melissinos, the famous poet/sandal maker to get his shop back open after a lunch break. So there they were standing outside of this shop, when they spotted some hippies coming towards them. Bob was not familiar with the Beatles current look ( Pepper had only been out a couple months at this point), and didn't recognize them right away, but then suddenly realized who the hippies were!
Once Bob realized exactly who was coming his direction, he stood up and pounded on the door of the shop yelling "the Beatles are here!"
Bob took some photos of John and Cynthia as well as Ringo and also got an autograph.

Is that red-head in the last photo with Ringo Jane Asher?
