Excellent video Mazzy, I didn’t realise that photography of / by the Beatles was such a passion of yours (or that there were so many Beatles- related limited edition art books out there). I would have liked to see you interview / have a discussion with Paul on this subject. It would have been a new angle. If Paul sees this and decides he is interested in this as a subject (as it is at a slight tangent to his new book), well, you never know… Greetings from London
AT LONG LAST!!! Somebody of the beatles internet universe talks about the Beatles photographers! This subject deserves a whole book, a very heavy and massive book. If there is one, I want to have it, because I've searched for one and there is none.
Thanks Norman - really well done. Always been enthralled, not only by the wealth of photos taken of the lads but the high quality and imagination of so many photogs over the years. Excellent collection of books by talented photogs. Would love to hear/see you interview Paul.
Fun! Great theme for a post. Of course as a photography teacher/photographer, I love seeing all of these great artists discussed together. Mike's recent books is so amazing. Astrid's early images also so iconic in capturing that early era. Incredible to think she shot the fairground images a mere 2 weeks after meeting them! My copy of Paul's new book is arriving soon. I think the photographer who often stands out to me is Robert Freeman. Many of his studio session shots, especially, have a beautiful modernist way of organizing the elements (akin to Arnold Newman's famous shot of Stravinsky). Thanks, Norman! I hope Paul does circle back to discuss.
What an amazing collection of photos... and the vast knowledge to put it all together! Thank you, Mazzy! I think it would be a fantastic thing for you to interview Paul McCartney... I think it would be a clear win/win for BOTH of you!! Here's hoping it happens... ...and looking forward to working with you some day on YOUR book... which would be a must-read! Cheers!
I loved the first book you showed. They designed the book box exactly like that of a box of Ilford b/w printing paper. I went through hundreds of those boxes in my career. Thanks for a great tour of those photo collections.
While Paul was taking these photos, The Beatles were surrounded by official photographers and Paul snapped photos of some of them too. Photographing the photographers. So I agree that would have been an interesting avenue to explore, because you could point to his photos to spur memories of those photographers.
Mazzy, Sorry you didn’t get the interview with McCartney! What I like about this new McCartney book is that a lot of the photos I have never seen before!! You showed a lot of great photos from great photographers but the new book is photos I’ve never seen and I have ton of photos of the Beatles
Ethan Russell the last? Don’t forget Iain Macmillan at the Abbey Road crossing. Terrific collection Mazzy, thanks for sharing. Nice peek at Paul’s book too. Lots of competition for it there - was that a smile of pique?
Sorry but I’am miffed that they are charging $30 to see Paul’s exhibition of his photos at the National Portrait Gallery in London😢. I have a full collection of Bubble Gum cards of the Beatles from 1963/4, I’am not sure they were taken by just one photographer, I believe they came from NEMS! One of my favourite photos is the inner sleeve of Beatles for Sale, with them in front of a montage of different film stars taken at Twickenham Studios. I’ve often thought this may of influenced Sgt Pepper. I know the cover was shot by Robert Freeman but I don’t think he is credited for the photo? I used to get the Beatle Monthly Book magazine, I always thought they had some of the best Beatle photos of the times 😊
The Mike McCartney photos are a wonderful depiction of pre Beatles England when we appeared to live in a black and white world,The Beatles introduced colour to so many people's lives
Very interesting, the Vollmer book came in box that looked like Ilford photo paper box's. I do B&W film photography. I did two album covers for local Alaska bands. For what it's worth, I have heard of Mazzy but I have never heard of Stanley Tucci
You did mention Dezo Hoffman but didn’t show the viewers any of his work. His stuff was on a lot of Beatles cards. I am lucky to have a nice little collection of some of his photos back stamped and they capture an innocence that is up there with the best of Beatles photographers. Great video. Thank you.
take that tucci...what a great collection of photographs featured in those various books... there's also anotner great book called 'the beatles england' by that dynamic duo of bacon and maslov..you should check it out if you haven't already (i have an autographed copy i'll let you borrow)...hope both of you guys are doing well..peace and luv always..rocky
Molto Grazzie This was very thoughtful and as expected thorough I do wonder what the rationale was in selecting Stanley Tucci Also I love the Avedon book!
the two roberts, mccullin and strangely enough, linda are the photo books i'd most like to borrow for a day. as far as tucci goes, i'm tempted to say his best work was in the "muppets most wanted". he's admittedly a decent actor but in terms of being a beatle scholar and photography expert, you are "penny lane" while stanley is "ebony and ivory" (no offence to stevie wonder). it's ironic that a hollywood actor would bring to mind the country song "if hollywood don't need you (honey i still do)" by don williams. my variation is "if sir paul don't need you (sir ray davies eventually will)". great video! awesome book library!
Great video, Mazzy. Certainly one of your best. Really? Stanley Tucci? That wanna-be Norman Maslov? C'mon, Sir Paul... go for the real thing!! But seriously, the intersection of your passion and knowledge sits squarely at this precise point. There is no other impresario of Beatles and photography that compares. Tucci's people should at least consult with you.
I'm not sure how Rubber Soul's going to fit on a picture disc. I know some people think picture discs don't sound very good. I don't care what they think. Anyway, I was on the fence about getting the Eyes of the Storm. It went up $3 by the time I placed the order. Sir Paul, give Mazzy a call!
Hi there I just want to say I'm just the average guy in the street and I would like to have interview with Paul McCartney because there's so many questions I want to ask Paul I mean I want to ask him what did you think about John Lennon when John John and Yoko had the bag ISM when they got into the bag I know what John sister thought of it Julia she absolutely hated it anyway I'm looking forward to the book but I'm not willing to spend back £60 on it no way
I think Paul's publicist rejected your interview request, because they looked at your videos. You always look menacing at the start of your videos, like you mean "real trouble". 😁😂🤣 That Robert Freeman photo book looks nice. He took some of the best Beatles pictures.
It would have been nice, but can you make Cotoletta alla Milanese? It's not what you know it's what you can cook. I think you and Stanley look a little like Shake (John Junkin)😊
@@mazzysmusic Now! Just because somebody's an act that doesn't mean that they don't have other interests. There are many actors who have other things going on in their lives other than acting. It isn't fair to Diminish someone someone.t to their occupation or ethnicity.
@@djvinylvertigo scott. I appreciate you viewing and comments, however it seems that my snarky comments and replies (like these about Tucci) are missed. I’m a huge fan of his acting and his food tours of Italy. It’s all just a wacky stab at humor. I think I’m consistent in that way 🤠✌🏼
@@mazzysmusic I'm usually better at catching that kind of stuff! Perhaps the latest indictment has thrown off my sense of humor. Apologies!! Nothing but love for you, Mazzy!
So sorry you missed out on the interview. Paul and/or his people seem to like pairing him up for interviews with other celebs, none of which deliver much of interest. You'd have got so much more out of him and maybe stretched him a little. Next time Mazzy.
Don MccCullin - Vietnam War photographer surely, not WW2.
He is correct. WWII.
Did some research. Your right. I'm wrong. He was only 10 years old in 1945.
Nice video Mazzy - a lovely collection you have there - thank you. D

Nice. Thanks for the peek into those books Mazzy.
Very interesting video. I truly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Really interesting presentation on this subject and the books. Those framed pictures you have look fantastic!
Love them books,didn't even know that they existed.
Luv the show.
Thanks Norman - really well done. Always been enthralled, not only by the wealth of photos taken of the lads but the high quality and imagination of so many photogs over the years. Excellent collection of books by talented photogs. Would love to hear/see you interview Paul.
Brought back a lot of Memories // Thanks Mazz

Fantastic memories of times gone by but not forgotten. Thanks Mazzy
Love this episode. Yes get Paul on the show!!
I loved the first book you showed. They designed the book box exactly like that of a box of Ilford b/w printing paper. I went through hundreds of those boxes in my career. Thanks for a great tour of those photo collections.
Great vid , with the kind of content that elevates your channel above the others !
Thank you Glad you enjoy it! ✌🏼
Good on ya…..why not you. Rick Beato does great interviews as he allows the folks to speak. He’s there to promote; different than a true conversation.
This is a great overview of these photographers who documented an important time and obviously important subjects, The Beatles! Thank you.
sorry mazzy that you didn't get the interview it would have awesome im sure!! thanks for sharing the book cheers
While Paul was taking these photos, The Beatles were surrounded by official photographers and Paul snapped photos of some of them too. Photographing the photographers. So I agree that would have been an interesting avenue to explore, because you could point to his photos to spur memories of those photographers.
Yeah. It could have been a cool and different conversation for him too.
Well done! Very informative.
Wonderful presentation about photography & The Fabs.
I wish I'd known about that museum in London. Still, I was only there for three days.
Mazzy, Sorry you didn’t get the interview with McCartney! What I like about this new McCartney book is that a lot of the photos I have never seen before!! You showed a lot of great photos from great photographers but the new book is photos I’ve never seen and I have ton of photos of the Beatles
One of your best videos, just at the right time.
Ethan Russell the last? Don’t forget Iain Macmillan at the Abbey Road crossing. Terrific collection Mazzy, thanks for sharing. Nice peek at Paul’s book too. Lots of competition for it there - was that a smile of pique?
Ethan Russell did the last full on photo session of the Bestles. About two weeks after the Abbey Road cover shoot
Very interesting. I hope you get your interview. I’d love watching that. Thank you
5:00 - You're too funny, Mazzy! Don't know what criteria was to choose him. I think you would be excellent choice to talk to sir Paul! :-)
Sorry but I’am miffed that they are charging $30 to see Paul’s exhibition of his photos at the National Portrait Gallery in London😢.

That is awesome. I do NOT remember Beatles Bubble Gum.
The Mike McCartney photos are a wonderful depiction of pre Beatles England when we appeared to live in a black and white world,The Beatles introduced colour to so many people's lives
Great review Mazzy. I worked as a designer in illustrated book publishing for 40 years.
I'll talk to Paul about this... 😄
get back to us...
Please do Sir. Tucci may know more about Hunger Games and Hunger in Italy, but when it comes to photography......
Very interesting, the Vollmer book came in box that looked like Ilford photo paper box's. I do B&W film photography.
I did two album covers for local Alaska bands.
For what it's worth, I have heard of Mazzy but I have never heard of Stanley Tucci
He's also doing a show here in New York with Conan for the trade back of thumb festival.
You did mention Dezo Hoffman but didn’t show the viewers any of his work. His stuff was on a lot of Beatles cards. I am lucky to have a nice little collection of some of his photos back stamped and they capture an innocence that is up there with the best of Beatles photographers. Great video. Thank you.
Yeah I didn’t want to go on too long. I found have shows photo books for hours.
Hoffman himself appears in one of the Terry O’Neill pix that Mazzy flashed - tall man in a white shirt at Abbey Road studios. A tag team session?
A photographer not mentioned in this video is Paul Saltzman who photographed the Beatles in India! He has two editions on his website.
There are so many. I have two books by him. One signed in an orange clamshell ✌🏼

Well done, Mr Maslov. Sir Paul obviously made an error in turning you down.
😎🤠✌🏼
Mazzy,
Very nice!

Great video, Mazzy. Certainly one of your best. Really? Stanley Tucci? That wanna-be Norman Maslov? C'mon, Sir Paul... go for the real thing!!
But seriously, the intersection of your passion and knowledge sits squarely at this precise point. There is no other impresario of Beatles and photography that compares. Tucci's people should at least consult with you.
Thank you Sir ✌🏼📌
You would have been an ideal interviewer.
I'm not sure how Rubber Soul's going to fit on a picture disc. I know some people think picture discs don't sound very good. I don't care what they think. Anyway, I was on the fence about getting the Eyes of the Storm. It went up $3 by the time I placed the order. Sir Paul, give Mazzy a call!
I’ll make some calls, Mazzy.
Please do 😎
Pitch was never gonna fly. These mega stars never ever want to speak at length about anyone else except themselves.

Ever seen Tucci in Lovely Bones? I rest my case.
Queen Elizabeth or Princess Diana or long lived athlete
It would have been nice, but can you make Cotoletta alla Milanese? It's not what you know it's what you can cook. I think you and Stanley look a little like Shake (John Junkin)😊
I wonder if Macca cares about Tucci’s love of Veal Parmigiana 🤓
Well played!
Surely, having Tucci narrate creates buzz. Come on!!😂😂
🤓😵💫😎
Buzz for tours of Italian food meccas ;-)

I have no doubt you could have done a better interview. Unfortunately, celebrities just want to talk to other celebrities these days.
So sorry you missed out on the interview. Paul and/or his people seem to like pairing him up for interviews with other celebs, none of which deliver much of interest. You'd have got so much more out of him and maybe stretched him a little. Next time Mazzy.
It‘s funny how you pronounce Astrid Kirchherr.😂 And Vollmer is pronounced like Follmer…
That's a real shame that it went to Tucci, he cheated and married the sister of an English actress and lives in England.
@@lesoram6236 I was trying, apparently unsuccessfully to say that Tucci had an unfair advantage.
