is that really times square in the 1975?

I think it's just north of Times Square... someone may have already mentioned

Hey, HB, it'd be interesting to know how many of those stores are still there,
like the Victoria Theater. Any ideas?

tk--i think everything is pretty much gone--wiped out in the sanitized revamp of times square

but if you go--take pictures

Brian's home 1966 - 1967 - No.1 Courtfield Road.

1967...



Same spot roughly 38 years later...



Here's a blend of the two using the white pillar top as a reference...

thanks, HM!

another 5/1/75

Very very cool!! I love the Altamont and WOAF locations!!

Honestman posted this great early promo shot, taken in 1964 opposite County Hall, in his rarities thread:



Something's been added to the background since then:

Green Lady--that is wonderful--this thread is alive again!

Man of wealth...?

Well spotted Green Lady!

I'll be in London in may, going to see Eric Clapton, are there any specific London Stones then and now pics I should try for that haven't already been covered in this thread?

I don't think there's been a then/now on the Beggars press party at Elizabethan Room at The Gore Hotel...or how about the May 04 1963 Battersea Park charity

A then shot of the charity event...

That room is now the Bistro...

Great thread...still. Keep it alive. Can't wait for new images.

Well, is there a way to find out where the Between The Buttons photo session was
on Primrose Hill? I don't think I've seen a really good wide shot.
I was there once. Nice place.
Was Brian's bust in 1968 at Courtfield Road or someplace else?
If it was some place else, that would be interesting.
Where did Mick and Marianne live pre Cheyne Walk, 1967? Was it Hille House?
HOw about the Priory Clinic? Brian was there as was Brian Epstien
and hundreds of others.

Mick lived at Harley House, Marylebone Road circa 1967 - 68.

Brian's 1968 bust was at No. 15 Royal Avenue House - Kings Road

The Harley Street nursing home Brian attended - I'm bot sure how to narrow that down to one particular building. The Priory was elsewhere no?

Sorry, to lead this thread in a different direction: I think they shot the famous "Blow Up" movie park scenes on Primrose Hill. (If you want any Stones connection to this post: The photographer's charcater is based on David Bailey who did the sleeves for the debut, No.2 and Goat's Head Soup. Jeff Beck - of Mick solo records' fame for those who don't know him - destroys his guitar in the Marquee Club the Stones played in 1971 not on their first gig in 1962).

JJ--cool stuff--thanks for reactivating this thread!

The park was Maryon Park, looks pretty much the same as it did back then.

The club where Jeff smashes his guitar was meant to be in a Ricky Tick club, but the internals were apparently shot in a 'ricky tick club mock up' in an MGM studio.
