“The photographs by Art Kane, were taken at the foot of Grant’s Tomb , with the group draped in a giant Union Jack, apparently feigning sleep. Except that they weren’t: All of them were exhausted from Keith’s activities the previous night and the changing of hotels in the middle of it; they had to be awakened at the end of the shoot”

In his "X-Ray" autobiography, Ray Davies describes Mick Avory joining the band:

"Avory spoke in a deep south London accent as he struggled into the room carrying his own drums. Dave and Pete, who were standing on the little rehearsal platform in the corner of the room, were both dressed in plastic capes, tight black trousers and Cuban heels. Quaife, who had by now been groomed by some of the more camp hairdressers in Carnaby Street, quietly suggested that Avory looked like a 'beautiful butch beast'. Unfortunately, Avory both heard this and took it seriously.

'I've got a girlfriend,' Avory said in his deep, flat drone. Quaife continued the wind-up. 'So've I, love. Don't mean to say that we all don't bend from time to time.'

Dave joined in and started laughing and coughing in a high-pitched feminine voice. I jumped in: 'Put your drums down there, dear, and don't mark the floor, I've been on my knees scrubbing it all afternoon!'

Avory did not see any humour in this situation. We introduced ourselves to him in a limp-wristed way and continued to camp it up until we started playing. [...]

After the rehearsal was over, Dave, Pete and I all reverted to talking in high-pitched voices. Avory thought he was on safer ground by directing his conversation towards Robert and Grenville [managers]. He was concerned about being in a group who wore plastic capes and leather caps and asked if we were sexual deviants. I was never clear whether he considered this to be a good or a bad thing.

'Tell me, will I have to dress up like them?' Avory inquired.

'Undoubtedly so,' replied Grenville, as he cocked his eyebrow and put on a stern face to accompany the Mayfair Droop. Robert joined in as if Avory wasn't there. 'He'll also have to grow his hair, what?'

Avory mumbled half to himself as he started to pack up his drum kit, 'I'll 'ave to think about it and ask my girlfriend if it's all right. I'll let you know in a few days.' He stopped at the door as he left. 'I enjoyed playing with you. The music, I mean.'
