Jürgen Vollmer

I read Pauline Sutcliffe's memoir on Stuart in one day. Was alot more interesting and engaging than the one she did with Alan Clayton ("Backbeat") was.

On a side note, what is it with these Beatle people retelling their story in a second books years later? Pete Best, Cynthia Lennon, Julia Baird, May Pang and now Pauline. That is just off the top of my head, I am sure there are more.

I don't agree with all the theories and ideas presented in this book, but it was still a very nice read. She brought up Jürgen Vollmer and mentioned that she thought he had some resentment towards Astrid. This could be wrong and could just be her inference, but she thinks that Astrid gets some of Jurgen's credit for creating the Beatles look.

Looking back, Jurgen does lose alot of places in history and most of the Bealtes look (which Jurgen helped with...he did cut John and Paul's hair) came from him. In the movie "Backbeat" (which I am currently rewatching) he is absent altogether, even though he was there when Astrid met Stu.

Food for thought.
