McCartney Times

OK, I know these girls are waiting to catch a glimpse of The Beatles outside Glasgow’s Odeon Cinema in April, 1964, but before we get round to The Fab Four, can we just gaze at their black PVC coats for a moment? I had a black PVC coat, admittedly a few years later than this, and thought I was the cat’s whiskers, to use the more acceptable animal-based phrase. Curlers under headscarves were also a common sight as young women would do their own perms at home. I have a vague memory it was called “A Toni” after the brand-name, but I could be wrong.
