I had been commissioned by Honey magazine to take pictures of a Liverpool pop group called The Beatles. "I met them in a pub and then we went around the town together." “I tried several locations as backdrops: the stone steps of the Pier Head and the balustrades of the Victoria Monument. "Paul was very helpful, but John Lennon would insist on ruining a picture. Of course, he thought it was extremely funny. John just wanted to get it over with. He was chatting to the girls while the other three were looking straight at me.", Source: Sunday Times, 3 February 2008, Sunday Times, Condition Report, Condition Report, † This lot may qualify for Artist Resale Rights.
