A unique visitors book kept by a prominent boutique, filled with the iconic names of the era, from Mick Jagger to Queen Elizabeth II to Donovan to Twiggy?With thousands of signatures, the most complete such collection we have seenSwinging London: Its very name conjures up images of style, culture, excitement and romance. Presided over by a young Queen Elizabeth, London transformed itself from a bleak, conservative, colorless city, only just beginning to forget the troubles of the Second World War, into the focus of all the world?s attention, bursting into bloom with color, freedom, optimism and promise. It represented a fundamental and explosive change in attitude, values, and art. And all classes took part, from the Queen?s own sister, Margaret, to a hairdresser?s daughter, Cilla Black. London was the center of all the action; the city where everything was happening and where anything was possible.London captured the imagination of the world?s media, and soon had the full attention of youth everywhere. And when Time Magazine in its April 15, 1966 issue dubbed London: the Swinging City, it cemented the association between London and all things hip and fashionable that had been growing in the popular imagination throughout the decade. London seemed like the capital of the world and all eyes were on it.The importance of London in the making of the Sixties cannot be exaggerated. There, in that one place, at that one time, was the center so many revolutions. There was the fashion revolution, with clothes becoming more playful, colorful, and youthful. This was exemplified by the shops on Carnegie Street and in Chelsea, and the eclectic I Was Lord Kitchener?s Valet on Piccadilly. The sartorial splendor of these fashions was exhibited by models like Twiggy and rock stars like Mick Jagger. There was the art and design revolution, which filled London with galleries and studios. There was the music revolution, exemplified by the Beatles and Rolling Stones. In the U.S., all talk was of the British invasion. It?s hard to overestimate the impact British music had on the lifestyles and aspirations of the youth of America. Looking back, we can almost close our eyes and see Donovan singing Catch the Wind for Bob Dylan or 73 million Americans watching The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. And then of course there was the recreational drug revolution, with these drugs being normative by the end of the Sixties; and the sexual revolution and the shattering of gender roles.Americans flocked to London to participate in it all. You?d find Bob Dylan and Judy Garland there, the Byrds and Beach Boys were there, and so many others. And not everyone was famous. There was the boy at the New Jersey shore looking out over the ocean and thinking London was just on the other side, and he would go there (and did). And Americans weren't the only ones. People from all over the world came to London.Many of London's most fashionable boutiques of the late 1960's and early 70's were on Fulham Road, which runs through Chelsea, and one of these was owned by Neil Zarach. Zarach partnered with the designer David Hicks (who also happened to be Lord Mountbatten's son in law) in this iconic enterprise. In the ?70s Hicks left the business and Zarach took over full ownership.?Zarach's client list?included fashionable London society, as well as many of the world's rulers, mega movie stars, rock stars, tycoons, and others of note in Swinging London. The shop was famous for its?parties, like the "Red Opening" on November 7, 1968.The shop kept a guestbook, which in time became two volumes (one labeled ?Visitors), altogether 225?pages, with over 1,000 signatures. The first volume covers 1967-1971, the second volume?1971-1974, with additional entries for an event on June 7, 1984. The six pages for the ?Red Opening? are memorialized here with the names in red pen. These books are a virtual compendium of the people who made Swinging London. Not only the famous names, though there are plenty of them, but also the others in every walk of life. We have never seen a broader and more diverse collection of signatures that reveals all the facets of Swinging London reach the market, and we obtained this one in England.The Visitors Books: The press was at the boutique in force. Signing the guestbook were journalists representing well over a score of leading newspapers, magazines, and television outlets. These included Vogue, which sent Julian West its senior fashion editor, Harpers Bazaar, The Times, Architecture Magazine, Cosmopolitan, House and Garden Magazine (which sent its editor Olive Sullivan), the BBC, New York Journal of Commence, Art Forum, and Italian Television.As for visitors, we lead off with royalty. The book is presided over by signatures of Queen Elizabeth II; her sister Princess Margaret (signing as Margaret Rose), along with her husband Lord Snowden; their cousin Alexandra; Umberto, the last king of Italy; Ali Mirza, Iranian prince; and Elizabeth Oxenberg, princess of Yugoslavia. This is the only time we have seen something signed by both Elizabeth and Margaret, making this exceptional. Then there is Lord Louis Mountbatten, great-grandson of Queen Victoria. He was named Chief of Combined Operations headquarters in World War II, and the last Viceroy of India. Princess Lee Radziwill, a sister of Jacqueline Kennedy, also signed, as has the Shi?a leader the Aga Khan.From the world of entertainment, actors include such giants as Julie Andrews, Elizabeth Taylor, Luise Rainer, Christopher Plummer, Joan Collins, Angela Lansbury, Leslie Caron, Maggie Smith, Lauren Bacall, and Linden Travers (actress for Alfred Hitchcock). Also Swinging London icons Peter Sellers, Michael Caine, and Julie Christie, among many others. Then were were innumerable people associated with theater and film, like Michael Briggs, location manager for the Godfather; Gerald Vaughan-Hughes, writer of plays and TV series; Jack Hildyard, Oscar winning cinematographer; Mauric.

10 x 8 inch. Minor handling wear to margins and light creasing, light tape residue to the top right corner slightly touching Harrison's inscription, minor tape residue and yellowing to the reverse. Exceptional promotional photograph of the Beatles, signed in blue and red ballpoint inks by John Lennon, Paul McCartney ('Best wishes'), George Harrison and Ringo Starr, additionally inscribed by Ringo ("Geoff, Best wishes from the Beatles") and George ("To Geoff, Best wishes").PROVENANCE: Signatures were obtained by the previous vendor's brother Alec, who in 1964 was asked to work as 2nd Assistant Director on "A Hard Day's Night", a musical comedy directed by Richard Lester and featuring The Beatles. In the vendor's own words "Shooting started in early March '64 at Twickenham Studios. Originally, as no name had been given to the film, all scripts were simply titled, 'The Beatles'. It wasn't until Ringo came in one day and said, "It's been a hard day's night" that Dick Lester decided that 'A Hard Day's Night' should be the title for the film. One of the many jobs of a 2nd' Assistant Director is to make sure the stars of a movie are happy and to make sure they are on the set when required. Consequently, my brother got to know John, Paul, George and Ringo better than some of the other technicians. When not working on films, he was a professional drummer and used to try to teach some jazz drum rudiments to Ringo in the canteen during lunch breaks at Twickenham Studios, but Ringo had his own style and jazz wasn't his thing! It was subsequently Ringo who signed his signature on the photograph first, with my brother's red pen. He also signed: 'To Geoff Best wishes from the Beatles'. Paul McCartney, being the main spokesman for the band, liaised with Alec a lot and would phone our home phone number in the evenings (much to my Mum's annoyance) if there was any problems. I got to speak to him a couple of times. Paul then signed the photo, and then George. John, being much more aloof than the others, was the last one to sign the photo, when they were well into the seven-week shoot, which was finished towards the end of April '64. My brother also helped make a 'short' which was used to promote the main feature movie called 'Follow The Beatles'. It was a manic, frenetic time and the unit needed as much stamina as the Beatles to get all of Dick Lester's ideas to work. So, by the end of the shoot, this eleven year old kid was presented with a full set of The Beatles autographs, much to the envy of our neighbours and my equally Beatles-obsessed school mates".Signatures have been pre-verified by Roger Epperson.

Ringo's mother, Mrs Elsie Starkey, and Mrs Annie Maguire were not only neighbours but close friends and Annie's daughter, Marie, was like a big sister to Ringo, child-minding him, taking him to the local parks and cinemas, helping him to read and write (he'd missed much of his schooling due to childhood illnesses) and encouraging his early drumming when he was a long-term patient at the Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital at Heswall, Wirral. Marie is also the Godmother to one of Ringo and Maureen's children. I acquired the card from Marie at the beginning of the 1980s. She told me that the reason the card was somewhat discoloured and had small holes in it is that for years it was pinned up in the kitchen of their tiny terraced house at 10 Madryn Street which now, along with all the other houses in the street, has been completely renovated. When Ringo became famous as The Beatles drummer, Marie helped him find a new house for his mother and step-father, away from all his fans, in a select part of Liverpool. This card is unique in that it was given to Mrs Maguire personally by Ringo (Richy Starkey) and bears not only the signatures of all four Beatles but additionally has been signed again more personally by Ringo."To Mrs Maguire / Best wishes / love Richy"'.

In 1963 the group was contracted to play at The Ritz Ballroom, Kings Heath, Birmingham and The Plaza Dance and Social Club in Rookery Road, Handworth, Birmingham and their name was changed to the Plazents.

SIGNED FIRST EDITION, thus. Octavo, pp.160. Publisher's softcovers. SIGNED BY JOHN LENNON. An interesting school text-book borrowed by Lennon whilst a student at Quarry Bank School, Liverpool.

couverture souple. - 1969, 16,8x21,6cm, carnet en spirales. - Journal intime autographe de Maurice B�jart �crit sur un agenda de l'ann�e 1969 c�l�brant le centenaire de la naissance de Mahatma Gandhi. 52 feuillets autographes, r�dig�s aux stylos rouge et bleu dans un cahier � spirales. Ce journal figure parmi les tr�s rares manuscrits de B�jart en mains priv�es, les archives du chor�graphe �tant partag�es entre sa maison bruxelloise, la fondation B�jart de Lausanne et le Th��tre Royal de la Monnaie. Journal du chor�graphe Maurice B�jart, �crit durant l'ann�e 1969. Rarissime collection de pens�es, d'interrogations, d'introspections sous le prisme de l'hindouisme et de la sagesse bouddhique, que B�jart adopte � la suite d'un premier voyage en Inde en 1967. Le journal constitue un t�moignage embl�matique de l'�poque indo-hippie des ann�es 1960, renaissance spirituelle et artistique qui inspira au chor�graphe de nombreux ballets (Messe pour le temps pr�sent, Bhakti, Les Vainqueurs). Une s�lection de ce journal fut publi�e par Maurice B�jart dans le second tome de ses m�moires (La Vie de Qui?? Flammarion, 1996). Durant l'ann�e 1969, B�jart prend quotidiennement des notes dans un agenda publi� � la m�moire de Mahatma Gandhi. Fascin� par le mysticisme hindou depuis un voyage en Inde en 1967, il remplit ce journal spirituel de nombreux mantras et pri�res (�?Krishna guide mon char, la lumi�re est au bout du chemin. OM?� ; �?Le Bouddha est partout pr�sent?� ; �?Laisser Dieu entrer, mais comment ouvrir la porte???�) et invoque tant les divinit�s hindoues que les Bodhisattvas Ma�ju?r? et T?r? - figures apaisantes du panth�on bouddhique. La �?p�riode indienne?� de B�jart fut particuli�rement riche en chefs-d'uvre chor�graphiques, dont on suit la progression dans son journal (Baudelaire en d�but d'ann�e, la cr�ation des Vainqueurs � Bruxelles et des Quatre fils Aymon � Avignon, ainsi que le tournage et la projection de son ballet indien Bhakti). � la crois�e du New Age et du mouvement hippie, la �?conversion?� de B�jart est symptomatique d'une �poque en refus du progr�s et en soif de spiritualit�?: �?Calcutta n'est pas l'Inde mais notre visage occidental. Ce n'est pas la religion ni la pens�e traditionnelle qui est coupable mais le capitalisme. L'Inde pays riche avant la colonisation?�. La visite des Beatles dans l'?shram du guru Maharishi et le concert de Ravi Shankar � Woodstock en 1969 marqu�rent le d�but d'une v�ritable passion occidentale pour la musique et la culture indiennes, qui fut d�terminante dans les ballets de B�jart � cette �poque. L'Inde s'offre �galement aux yeux de B�jart comme un lieu o� l'art et les traditions ancestrales n'ont pas subi les perversions du positivisme. Il cherchera dans ses cr�ations � exprimer l'esprit d'une culture qui unit intimement le corps et l'esprit, et dans laquelle la danse joue un r�le cosmique et spirituel majeur. Les syst�mes de danse indienne et les chants v�diques d�couverts gr�ce � l'orientaliste Alain Dani�lou furent ins�r�s dans ses ballets - en 1968, il ouvre la Messe du temps pr�sent par un long solo de v�n� qui dura quinze minutes?: �?B�jart est dans son quart d'heure hindou. Et l�-bas, les quarts d'heure hindous, �a peut durer des heures.?� commenta Jean Vilar, directeur du festival d'Avignon. Un vent de mode indienne passera �galement dans les costumes de la troupe du Ballet du XX�me si�cle?: larges pantalons de soie, tuniques, bijoux et yeux orientaux. Dans le journal, B�jart affirme qu'il n'y a �?pas de v�rit� sans yoga?�, un art d�couvert aupr�s d'un ma�tre indien que l'on trouve dans nombre de ses ballets sous la forme d'exercices de danse � la barre. Il d�cide �galement de faire de Bhakti �?un acte de Foi?� en filmant lui-m�me la chor�graphie du ballet, et pr�pare pendant l'�t� les Vainqueurs, une rencontre insolite entre Wagner et les ragas traditionnels indiens. Au-del� de l'artiste prolifique, on d�couvre aussi dans le journal la personnalit� troubl�e du chor�graphe, en proie au doute et.

First published in 1964, Yoko Ono's Grapefruit reads as a set of instructions through which the work of art is completed-either literally or in the imagination of the viewer participant. "Grapefruit is one of the monuments of conceptual art of the early 1960s. [Yoko] has a lyrical, poetic dimension that sets her apart from the other conceptual artists. Her approach to art was only made acceptable when white men like Kosuth and Weiner came in and did virtually the same thing as Yoko, but made them respectable and collectible" (David Bourdon). Ono would enact many of the book's scenarios as performance pieces throughout her career, which formed the basis for her art exhibitions, including the highly publicized retrospective exhibition, This Is Not Here in 1971 at the Everson Museum in Syracuse, New York, that was nearly closed when it was besieged by excited Beatles fans, who broke several of the art pieces.

Oktober 1940 als John Winston Lennon in Liverpool; ? 8. Dezember 1980 in New York) war ein britischer Musiker, Komponist und Friedensaktivist sowie Oscar- und mehrfacher Grammy-Preistr�ger. Weltweit ber�hmt wurde er als Mitgr�nder, S�nger und Gitarrist der britischen Rockband The Beatles, f�r die er - neben Paul McCartney - die meisten St�cke schrieb. Die Komponistenpartnerschaft Lennon/McCartney ist eine der bekanntesten und erfolgreichsten in der Geschichte der Popmusik. In der Aufl�sungsphase der Beatles veranstaltete John Lennon gemeinsam mit seiner zweiten Ehefrau Yoko Ono ab Ende der 1960er Jahre mehrere �ffentlichkeitswirksame Happenings (vgl. Fluxus) f�r den Weltfrieden und wandte sich k�nstlerisch neuen Gebieten zu. Nach der Trennung der Beatles startete Lennon eine erfolgreiche Solokarriere mit Alben wie John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (1970) und Imagine (1971). Lennon wurde im Dezember 1980 in New York bei einem Attentat von Mark David Chapman erschossen. /// Standort Wimregal Pkis-Box49-U020 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 10.

Zustand: Fine. Pen and ink on paper. 7-1/4 x 6-1/4 inches. Affectionate Letter from Shirley Temple Black to Alfred Eisenstaedt. By the time she was six she had made 20 films. FDR stated, "As long as our country has Shirley Temple we will be all right". At age seven, her films had saved 20th-Century Fox from bankruptcy, and she had become one of the most famous figures in the world. She retired as a child actress in 1940 after making 'The Blue Bird', her 44th film. She was 12 years old. Escaping the usual dismal adulthood of child stars, she married Charles Black and embarked on a career of public service; among her presidential appointments were US Representative to the UN, Ambassador to Ghana, first White House Chief of Protocol, foreign affairs officer for the State Department, and Ambassador to Czechoslovakia. Her best-selling autobiography was published in 1988. She writes affectionately to Alfred Eisenstaedt, who had photographed her as a child, "It was indeed an honor to have you photograph me and my daughter, Sue--not to mention my thirteen year old son, and "Beatle", eleven year old girl! (My husband has escaped you pretty well, so far)." "You and I have grown up together over the years, and you have not changed a bit." Pen and ink on paper. 7-1/4 x 6-1/4 inches.

The interview retitled 'Duke looks back and forward | in an interview with Les Tompkins' features on pp.6-7 of the April 1964 number of 'Crescendo'. (Sammy Davis Jr features on the cover, with the announcement 'NOT A WORD ABOUT THE BEATLES!') Three items, the typescript of the interview and two accompanying pieces (one not used). All three in good condition, lightly aged. ONE: Carbon typescript, titled 'That's where the tailoring comes in | Duke Ellington talks to Les Tomkins'. 6pp, 4to. On six leaves, stapled together at a corner. Of particular interest in this typescript is the following passage suppressed in the published version in which Ellington names Jimmy Forrest as one of his imitators: 'we've had people like Jimmy Forrest who took a couple of pages out of our book, wrote a number and called it something else. It became the biggest thing since "St. Louis Blues". And that's "Night Train" - you know, from "Happy Go Lucky Local"'. In a couple of instances the typescript appears closer to Ellington's voice than the published version. It features the Americanism 'specialty', rather than the published 'speciality'; and has the following passage which was recast for publication: '[] and as the refreshments would take over and he would roll of the piano stool why, they would call in the soda jerker [i.e. Ellington] to come and play the piano.' The published version reads: 'As the refreshments took over and he rolled off the piano stool, they'd call in the soda jerker to play the piano.' Other changes are relatively minor: 'Some people don't like to have to what is it? [] to follow something they are not familiar with' printed as 'Some people don't like to have to apply themselves. [] to follow something unfamiliar'; 'Then you don't have to worry about how many drinks you take' printed as 'Then they don't have to worry about how many drinks they take'; 'the English audience has' printed as 'the British audiences have'; 'is a thing which is rare' printed as 'is rare'. In the typescript the preamble to the article ends rather lamely, 'However, here are some of his interesting utterances about:', this is replaced in the printed version with 'But the printed words alone have their own value. L.T.' In addition the published version exhibits a few minor editorial changes, such as the correction of 'fit' to 'fitted' and 'less notes' to 'fewer notes'. The typescript has the following headings: 'His jazz beginnings', 'When he was a fixer', 'The men in the band', 'Billy Strayhorn', 'Their writing approach', 'Ellington imitators', 'His view of the present band' and 'His view of the future'. These are replaced in the published version by 'Smart', 'So loud!', 'Cutting', 'Renaissance' and 'Protection'. TWO: Carbon typescript headed: 'The Duke presents a bouquet to our audiences'. 1p, 4to. Published in a box at bottom left of first page of interview under the title 'An Ellington bouquet'. THREE: Carbon typescript of one-sentence quotation from Ellington, under title 'Duke Ellington's comments on Crescendo'. 1p, 4to. Reads: 'I think it's wonderful reading. And it's very exciting, thrilling interesting, mainly and enjoyable.' This endorsement does not appear to have been used by the magazine. The material comes from an archive of typescripts by Tomkins of his Crescendo contributions, including interviews with Louis Armstrong, Sonny Rollins, Bud Freeman, Stan Tracey, Erroll Garner, Stan Kenton, Quincy Jones, Joe Turner, Tubby Hayes, Stan Getz.
