"The Beatles must be the only people in showbiz ever to have turned down a Life cover."
[ Terence Spencer, LIFE Magazine photographer.]
The Beatles photographed outside Branksome Towers Hotel in Bournemouth on c. 16th November, 1963 by Terence Spencer. (Probably. Other sources say this is London?) The boys missed a photoshoot scheduled to take place here, where they were staying ahead of their concert in Bournemouth, effectively turning down what would have been the 13th January 1964 cover of LIFE magazine.
