A FABULOUS 1998 BOOK OF PHOTOS BY NOTED GERMAN PHOTOGRAPHER GUNTER ZINT
In the last few months I was able to purchase this great photo book which is written in both German and English. Bought this book from noted Beatles collector, Bill Last, and I am very grateful he informed me about this wonderful book. The title features the photography of well-known and celebrated German photographer, Günter Zint!
He was at one-time the official photographer at the legendary Star Club where The Beatles played in 1962!!!
This is one of those books that I find myself scratching my head as to why I had not previously purchased the book before, as it is clearly an excellent photographic record of a bygone and musically exciting era!
The book was issued in 1998 with Thorsten Schmidt as the editor. Strongly recommend this book to those who want to see many of the artists that were plying their trade in Germany along with the Beatles in trying to make a name for themselves!

The famous German photographer was also present on the set when John was set to feature his solo appearance in the Dick Lester film, “How I Won the War.”
For those interested in purchasing this book, I suggest you try Abe Books, eBay, or International Book search services!

Spotlighted on The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM Radio
The true story of the woman John Lennon loved. Includes the work and music they made together, the love story of John & Yoko, and her relationship with the Beatles.
Ono’s incredible story goes way beyond what most people know.
There are astounding details about Yoko’s life (thirty-three years before meeting Lennon, twelve years with him, and over forty years of creativity since his death).
The author has followed Ono’s career since the mid-1960s, assembling a vast media archive on the artist. Yoko’s own voice, along with Lennon’s and others (in cited, published interviews) tell her undeniably true and complete story, disproving many myths. Bocaro has spent valuable time with Ono, gaining incredible insight.
Here is the ultimate exploration of Yoko’s childhood, her relationship with Lennon, her art, films, music and activism for peace and women’s rights.
Must try and get hold off Gunters book as it sounds fascinating.
Great way to start the day. Perhaps when AI can bring time travel to our phones, I’ll meet you there with our other friends.
