Like many Beatle fans, my bedroom is filled with Beatles books, posters and what
not. On this page, if you wish, you can have a look at what my particular room looks like.
On to this crazy girl's room!
:)
Here you can see my fake Penny Lane and Abbey Road
street signs, my CD player ;), my 8 1/2 x 11 picture of the Beatles, the Union Jack, a large stand-up pin, a tray from Liverpool
and my 1964 Irish linen. (The Beanie Babies next to the picture are there to hold it up, since I don't have a frame for it.
It's a kangaroo and a blue jay ;)).
This is the wall opposite my desk; on the far left,
you can see my Beatles CD clock - i.e., it's a CD which can be used as a clock or taken apart to play interviews of the Beatles'
first visit to the U.S.; also, one of the "Mad Day Out" pictures in poster form; the four heads underneath I'll get to in
a bit.
And on to the four heads from the previous picture
- this is a stand-up cut-out apparently used for promotion of "The Beatles First U.S. Visit"; that's what it says under "The
Beatles" logo, but it wouldn't fit on the picture because I was leaning against my desk and couldn't move back. Anyway, although
it's not life-size ;), it's great!
This is my Beatles book shelf. As you can see, it's
quite full. So what's on it?
Starting with the top shelf: Anthology 3 promo poster, "The True Story of the Beatles"
book (German edition), the Anthology VHS set, "Help!" VHS, "A Hard Day's Night" VHS, "The First U.S. Visit" VHS and a Paul
doll. ;)
Second level: The biographies and Beatles city guides section, plus a "Beatles Fan's Bedroom" sticker,
guitar case (well, actually a watch came in it) and a picture of George and John in Hamburg.
Moving down to the third
shelf: The photography books section, including two miniature Beatles books, some magazines and newspapers and, of course,
"Harrison" by the editors of Rolling Stone magazine.
On to the fourth level: These are mostly interview
books, plus John's "In His Own Write" and "A Spaniard in the Works", the "Anthology" hardcover book and the Beatles postcards
I have.
The fifth shelf: Stacked up are more books that were too tall to fit into the shelf standing upright, plus
magazines, pictures, the London/Liverpool photoalbum, the George scrapbook/album I made and, on the right, my Beatles scrapbook
and more magazines with George on the cover.
Below the book shelf: Here, there's a box with non-Beatles things in
it - books I read when I was little, which I'm keeping for any future kids I may have :), and a box filled with MORE Beatles
videos (a lot of them recorded from the TV).
Phew! ;)
Sorry about the glare - the poster's framed and it
was daylight, so instead of the nice, clear poster, you get the added feature of seeing the building behind the place we live
in. Nevertheless, that's the "Beatles '65" poster on the wall next to the book shelf.
One of the two walls next to my bed, with this lovely poster on it.
The second wall next to my bed - it's the poster from the "Beatles For Sale" photo
sessions (which looks better than it does on this photo).
The wall above/behind my bed, which has these
old calendar pictures on it; four of the group and, at the bottom, a picture of George and John on stage.
This is what's usually on the book shelf or in the
closet.
Under all of it, you can see my Beatles beach towel with the cartoon Beatles on it.
At the top, the Anthology
3 promo poster can be seen again, as well as the picture that's normally on the white cabinet.
Along the sides are the
Beatles LP's; on the right, "Rubber Soul", "Revolver", "Help!", "Sgt Pepper...", "The Beatles", "The Beatles' Greatest", "Abbey
Road" and (twice) "Let It Be" (these are German and U.S. LP's). On the left, "Double Fantasy", "1962-1966", "1967-1970", "Flowers
In the Dirt", "London Town", "Tug Of War", "McCartney II" and "The Beatles & John Lennon Rock 'n Roll".
You can also
see my Beatles scrap book on the left, plus, scattered around, the buttons I've found, along with magazines.
One of the
magazines is the People issue from Dec. 1980 with John & Yoko on the cover. In the foreground are the magazines
with George on the cover.
