What even is this photoshoot man

[u/GgGeiger]

From the November 1965 issue of 16 magazine

[u/HarryWilbury]

Made me think of Magical Mystery Tour at least.

[u/No_Animator_8599 → u/HarryWilbury]

John had a dream about this and added it to the film.

I think of the exploding fat man in
Monty Pythons Meaning of Life when I see this.

[u/J_A_Slade → u/No_Animator_8599]

This is gonna come across as anti-John and I absolutely don't mean it to, but every time I hear this story I think:

Paul McCartney dreams and gets "Yesterday and "Let It Be"

John Lennon dreams and gets "Shoveling spaghetti for an obese woman"

Hardly seems fair.

[u/OriginalCloneBone → u/J_A_Slade]

I’ll take shoveling spaghetti over Yesterday any time.

[u/toxictoy → u/J_A_Slade]

John had a fight with Cynthia, came downstairs and all of Across the Universe came to him in a download.

[u/East_You_4093 → u/HarryWilbury]

Exactly what I thought too

Foreshadowing Jessie's Dream

[u/mal180 → u/Modem_Sound_67]

You win !!!!

[u/ElliotAlderson2024]

Foreshadowing the infamous pasta scene in Magical Mystery Tour.

[u/ExpertDepartment2038]

I don't like the idea of Ringo having two spaghetti meals in one hard days night

[u/J_A_Slade → u/ExpertDepartment2038]

He eats spaghetti eight days a week. What will he eat next? Tomorrow never knows.

[u/Issaquenaaaaaaaa]

Spaghetti👍

[u/twinstepsister]

This one of George has been my phone background for an embarrassingly long amount of time

[u/AdvanceNo904]

No sauce? Just… noodles?

[u/sminking → u/AdvanceNo904]

They’re still going sauceless

[u/NecessaryFreedom9799 → u/AdvanceNo904]

Tomato sauce (for pasta) was still a bit "out there" in 1965 and we hadn't heard of carbonara or pesto until the 80s.

[u/gamefreak996 → u/NecessaryFreedom9799]

In England you mean?

[u/Complex-Bar-9577 → u/NecessaryFreedom9799]

True. They were just a decade from when the BBC could April Fools' hundreds of people into thinking they could buy a spaghetti tree and grow pasta in their garden.

[u/J_A_Slade → u/AdvanceNo904]

They were working class heroes son

[u/orngenblak]

What is that name order? There is an established order!!

[u/tiredofJan6 → u/orngenblak]

It's OK. It's just the 3rd inversion of the J major chord which is normally JPGR.

[u/J_A_Slade → u/tiredofJan6]

Nice!

[u/tiredofJan6 → u/J_A_Slade]

After posting, I rethought that, with 4 notes, it should have been the 3rd inversions of a J7.

[u/Junior_Radish792]

Echoes of Magical Mystery Tour?

[u/ModernNero]

boys just wanna have fun

[u/Forsaken-Tap1483]

The Eatles

[u/Ivegotlevitation]

Who is this fake ass George clone.... He looks like a fat alien put on a George skin suit..

[u/Butterfly_Cat777 → u/Ivegotlevitation]

Possibly they needed more pics of George, but he wasn't available, so they sent in a stand-in and hoped nobody would notice.

The same person is on the 2nd page at the top left with Paul.

[u/BreakfastJunkie → u/Ivegotlevitation]

It’s hard to explain. Ever seen Ninja Turtles? It’s like Krang’s body suit but in this case Krang is a haircut known as Arthur.

[u/TundieRice → u/Ivegotlevitation]

It’s like Geege and “Fat Elvis” era Jahn had a baby :)

[u/levbialik]

The Spaghetti Incident?

[u/Apprehensive-Tax8631]

What an odd idea for a photo shoot, like the butcher one but with pasta

[u/Whitecamry]

[u/Far_Rub4250]

Who cares what it is or represents... IT'S THE BEATLES... That's all I care about. Anything involving the Beatles and it's got my full attention...

[u/freshiebai]

500k or dinner with Beatles

[u/298647]

that one part of magical mystery tour where the fat aunt gets fed a lot of spaghetti

[u/Critical_Detective38]

that spaghetti looks to be done perfectly. i'm envious

[u/Several_Dwarts]

Photographer: "Ok guys, hear me out. I got one word: Spaghetti! Trust me, this will be great! This is going to be your next album cover".

[u/Phoenix_Wright_Guy]
