I thought I'd seen every photo available of the early, early Beatles. But this took me by surprise.Anyone got any dates for it, or know who the fourth person is...?
Bumped into this at the Beatles Photo Blog. Paul seems to take good care of his shirts over the years.
You've got sharp eyes and memory, Cor.
Both of the early photos just reinforce how young little Georgie was, he hadn't even attained his full height yet!
It proves he was a phenomenal guitarist too, otherwise they never would have let 'that kid', as they thought of him, into the band. They knew they didn't want some other band grabbing him up!
I have read that by the age of 16 he was the best guitarist in Liverpool, that no one up and down the Mersey River could match him.
^ That is priceless. Little George managed to be the first person in all of Britain to buy a foreign make of guitar? What were all the others playing then? Oh yeah, Rickenbacker were English!!!
