Beatles and that we sign Auto graphs not Only for them but also for then children. As Ringo says this is the penalty of being the Beetle Man and he should know for the prohibitions and inhibitions of a Beetle s life Are unimaginably severe. A beatle must not marry. It is All very Well if one is mar ried before one is a fury grown beatle but a fully grown beatle must stay single. Piously private. It was planned ahead and it was arranged like this. We sidestepped our Reg ular travel agents excellent though they because they Are too Well known. Instead we hired another chit Pany and told them we wanted a fool proof secret route plot Ted for four Young men and three girl friends and a wife. The men we explained would travel in pairs the girls one pair two singles. We wanted two a cellar Ful of noise the beatle Story he cannot pop into the local Cinema or snatch a Quick pint in the local for if he does will he spend the entire time signing autographs he May also be insulted. Why Are you so big headed what s so special about you your hair s too Long. Your music s a beatle must not go abroad for a Holiday with his girl Friend for if he does or. John Gordon of the sunday express newspaper will Thunder about moral example not mentioning that practically every teen Ager in the land holidays with a member of the opposite sex. This year for example the beatles Holiday was to be Glor destinations at which two sets of couples would link up none of the arrangements were to be made by phone and code names were created for the eight or. Mccartney was or. Maim ing or. Starr was or. Stone. Their companions were to be miss Ashcroft and miss Cockroft. Or. Lennon was mrs. Leslie and his wife mrs. Leslie. Or. Har Rison was or. Hargreaves and his girl Friend became miss Bond. Manning and Stone Ashcroft and Cockroft were to Holiday in the Virgin islands. The Les lies Hargreaves and Bond would go to Tahiti. These were the routes Mann ing and Stone were to Fly in Dis Guise by charter plane from Luton to Paris thence after a Tarmac Transfer by air France Caravelle to Lisbon. The girls were to Fly Bea London to Lis Bon. They would link with the boys at Lisbon for a through flight to puerto Rico. There they were to split again and link later with a yacht for a month s cruise. The Leslie and Hargreaves were to go by charter flight from Luton to Amsterdam. Miss Bond Wol ild Fly Bea to Amsterdam link with the other and then go on1 to Vancouver in route finally for Honolulu and Tahiti arid a yacht. At 8-. On saturday May 2, Security solid secrecy absolute and stomach s fluttering nervously eight figures huddled in doorways around London. Every beatle Homeland these of their girl friends watched con stantly by press and fans and to guard against Early discovery the eight stayed in the Homes of other people. Rendezvous Small hired chauffeur driven cars made their. Rendezvous at doorways. Travel agents sworn to silence close friends and employees travelled with them to the Points. With Paul and Ringo travelled my personal assistant Derek Taylor travelling As Tatlock. With Patti Boyd alias Bond went Neil As Ashenden. Paid in Blue tinted glasses and sinister slim moustache with jigs hair slicked Back under a huge hat was unrecognizable. Like Wise Ringo in Black hat with drooping Ginger moustache and Horn rims. Together they looked like spies in an old Paul Henreid film. Beatles never. The first stages of All journeys passed without recognition both quartets reached their major1 staging Point. But somehow and no one will Ever know Tiow when George reached Vancouver there were 300 fans to meet them. And puerto Rico went wild when the two spies flew in. The secret was and weeks of minute arrangements were squandered. The result was Auto graph Hunters imprisonment in a hotel for two Days for John and George daily express re porters in a speedboat seeking express fashion finding Paul and Ringo. Is this a Holiday end it was and a Good one but it is an illustration of the other Side of being a beatle. And the final Seal was set on this venture when after the boys returned a Fleet Street editor to me you managed to leak the Holiday plans very nicely sometimes i feel you cannot win.
