Hi uglycustard;
If you don't mind, where's this photo from and how did you find it ? By the way, I'm not challenging you in any way, NO ! I'm just curious if there are any other photos that show the guy playing with someone that can be identified with the Beatles or, anyone who would be recognizable as a person who'd be in the Abbey Road studios during the 1967 recording.
Is there any mention of what the song or album was that they were recording at the time the photo was taken ? I find it strange that they'd publish a photo of someone who is allegedly playing on a 1967 recording (or any years' recording for that matter) of Beatles' music, other than one of the Fab Four.
As far as I know--and I'm no expert--Billy Preston and Eric Clapton are the only people who ever played on any Beatles record other than the groups' members themselves. However, I seem to remember that Klaus Voorman may have played on a song or two from the Revolver period, or at least a time frame close to that time period; am I right on that ? I know Klaus designed the Revolver album cover art work, but I thought he also played bass on a song, but, I'm probably wrong on that.
(I know this really doesn't belong in the middle of this post, but speaking of Klaus this is what he had to say in a utube video called THE BEATLES BIGGEST SECRETS: "From that point when they stopped doing live gigs there was a certain spirit that was necessary for this band, Beatles, was gone...." Spooky, huh ?).
Other than Clapton and Billy P. there is nobody that I can remember who ever played with them on any recording.
I'm sure though that it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to believe there were others who played or sang on Beatles records, but never got mentioned on the record sleeves. The two leaders of the Beatles--JL & JPM--had infinitely immeasurable huge egos so I can't imagine either of them allowing a true musician's participation in recording one of their songs to get a mention anywhere in print.

Hi uglycustard; Don't mind the quote it's not Really here.. The two leaders of the Beatles--JL & JPM--had infinitely immeasurable huge egos so I can't imagine either of them allowing a true musician's participation in recording one of their songs to get a mention anywhere in print. That's interesting to say the least |

Hi Bandi first of all thanks for not treating me like an idiot! I found this on goggle image search using the term "Beatles abbey road 1967" I had seen the image before though I think it was posted by a member on this site who mentioned it was taken from a newspaper clipping and had a weird looking Paul.I will do some digging.Its very strange though,probably just badly printed but funny how it's Paul we can't recognise.....keep digging!

That's interesting to say the least Good point,but I once saw an interview with Herbie who was the bass player on Thrillington and he asked Paul "why arnt you doing bass Paul?" his reply was he was producing and didn't want to bother with bass...(what he really ment was (at the time) Paul McCartney couldn't read music,Herbie Flowers could......) |

Man Buys Guitar at Garage Sale for $175, Turns Out It's Worth $800,000 www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/man_buys_guitar_at_garage_sale_for_175_turns_out_its_worth_800000.html"John McCaw is a building contractor form San Diego who struck jackpot way back in 1969 without even knowing it. The story actually began in 1962, when John Lennon and George Harrison of The Beatles got themselves a pair of matching Gibson J-160E guitars. About a year later, John's six-string was stolen after the band's pre-Christmas show in London. According to NBC 7, in 1969, Mr. McCaw bought Lennon's Gibson on a garage sale for around $175, or about $1,100 when inflation-adjusted for 2014. Much like the guy who sold the instrument, John had no idea about the guitar's previous owner. 45 years later, after using the legendary J-160E to teach his sons how to play guitar and strumming on it during many amateur jam sessions throughout the decades, McCaw got a hold of a 2012 issue of Guitar Aficionado. The magazine featured George Harrison wielding a six-string with striking similarities to John's old guitar. After reaching out to international experts, McCaw had the guitar examined and, lo and behold, got a certificate of authenticity based on a string of contributing factors. "I went through a lot of different emotions," the man said. "The first one was excitement. Then started to be overwhelmed, realizing what we did have, what it meant and could mean to the world. Then it became a whole different piece. Before, it was a guitar. And after it was authenticated, it became a Holy Grail." The guitar has been used by Lennon on several early Beatles hits, including "Love Me Do," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You," and more. The six-string will be auctioned in Los Angeles, with experts estimating it will fetch between $600,000 and $800,000. An amazing story it is."
