I think Christopher Lee wore the same jacket in The Wicker Man. The sixth in row makes me wish I'd seen London when there were still real City gents. Oh, and some nice ass shots. The nude one is typical of the era, but the last in the top row is far more sensual.
The Stones were a homely bunch, weren't they? And small — Brian Jones was about 5' 5"
'Homely' in American English means ugly - right? Then I agree : right ugly fuckers they were/are.

He was certainly in there at Austin's back in the day.

'67 on the Kings Road, Pre- Squire & Village Gate.
Loafers.
Dessies.
Madras.
Rollar coll.
Levis.
Shetland Crew neck.
A crop on one too - The guy at the back has The Look going on.
"Rollar coll"?
I have to remember this....
Middle guy has quite a French look IMO - or at least very similar to shots I've seen of young men in Paris circa '67/68. Could visualize him chucking some cobbles at the police down the Boulevard St Germain. Hank, I think a Rollar Coll is a close cousin of the Roller Blind btw.

See how soaked in BeBop I've become?
Imagine being THAT ugly?
Having sex with hundreds of horrible girls like Marianne Faithful and Anita Pallenberg...
Being in the greatest rock'n'roll band in the world...
Having all that money... Ugh!
I'm glad I was born beautiful.

The Beatles must have looked very "gay" to American audiences, but they weren't threatening with their matching suits and their neat moptops, still in a way like nice "boys next door"... the Stones were really shocking, scruffy... bohemians... and much more "sexual", much more threatening... a little bit like the shock they had before with Elvis, that hipshaking hillbilly singing the blues...
