Deffo not Badfinger, I'd recognise poor tragic Pete Ham instantly if it was. Think your second option might be spot on though - 5 minutes playing around on Google Images brought this up: https://www.todocoleccion.net/discos-vi ... re_el_lote

Thanks for the excellent detective work chaps! ;)

No detective work required with this one, pity it's not in full on 1967 technicolour…

He don't look very well do he...?

From a Beatles scrapbook I put together as a kid, a crap pic (from a long forgotten American magazine) of the first public appearance of the Roller after it was painted, taken in Hyde Park in May '67 when the Fabs walked around in their new flowery gear for a pre-Pepper launch photo shoot...

Peter Jackson Details New Beatles Film Based on Unreleased ‘Let It Be’ Footage
In a statement, Jackson said of the film, “The 55 hours of never-before-seen footage and 140 hours of audio made available to us, ensures this movie will be the ultimate ‘fly on the wall’ experience that Beatles fans have long dreamt about – it’s like a time machine transports us back to 1969, and we get to sit in the studio watching these four friends make great music together.”
Jackson added that he hoped the film would help disperse the cloud of conflict that’s long hung over Let It Be, which was recorded 18 months before the Beatles broke up.
“I was relieved to discover the reality is very different to the myth,” Jackson said. “Sure, there’s moments of drama – but none of the discord this project has long been associated with. Watching John, Paul, George, and Ringo work together, creating now-classic songs from scratch, is not only fascinating – it’s funny, uplifting and surprisingly intimate.”
The film is currently in production, though a release date and title have yet to be announced. The project is being made in full cooperation with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison. Following the arrival of Jackson’s new film, a restored version of Lindsay-Hogg’s Let It Be will also be released.

John Lennon, the photo was taken at his home in Weybridge in July '67 for the 'Beatles Monthly' mag ;)

I did a search on MSN for the Tremeloes Mini and that picture comes up. Possibly taken when the signed their record deal to DJM in 1974?

This shot also turned up in the search

Looks like it took a chunk of the dog's fur... Sticker in the window says Watch Dog Mk V, so I assumed it was an alarm keyswitch.
