Hi Jeff, Have had problems with getting them posted on here, Unfortunately theyre not Hi Resolution The quality isnt 100% as its a scan from a not very good picture in the first place! just not 100% the dpi shows up.
I can email them if you like

One of them is setting up the drums to play I am the walrus, and another of them kind of side on where you can see the back of Pauls Ric.
Only that one actually shows the Ric back on. Theres a few others, but are all hidden behind something, Theres one of him laying polishing the white piano with the Ric on top of it, and a couple where hes got the Ric laying on the concrete!!! (although you can only see the neck and headstock in these...just)

Do any of these pics you have show the horseshoe surround clearly enough, especially the area near the pickguard by the selector switch?

Whatever you have res-wise is fine by me.

I can see Paul got a little overspray of white on the control knobs. Seems like he would have removed them before applying the paint. The pickguard must have gotten some white paint on it also.

Alan,
I haven't seen the picture of the piano being polished with the Ric on top, but I've seen a few different pics with the Ric on the piano, including this one from the Magical Mystery Tour album booklet. From what little you see, it provides decent detail of the angular edge treatment:

These pics I have are of the Back of his rick, can be clearly seen that the back of it is white also. Can see at least half of the back of it.

They're never before seen pictures taken from a independant photographer who was helping them out and had free reign to take photos. Actually it was one of the policemen that was standing on top of the aircraft baffle wall. That photo is Georges strat, I have another 2 taken abit further away of that same photo and his Ric is laying on the ground and 'Rocky' is on the piano. Wish I could get them up on here

Alan, I've seen those same pics but in black & white. They're in the new book "The Beatles Unseen".

iamthebassman · Post by **iamthebassman** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 4:45 am

OK, not the Beatles but I like this shot.

What Beatles tribute band is that?

I was looking through my Beatles DVDs and I noticed that I've got three different takes of the "Hello, Goodbye" promo video. I only had time to look through one, so here are screenshots. Sorry, I've got a Christmas party to go to...
