Today In Beatles History (September 2, 1978): George Harrison marries his second wife, Olivia Arias.
53 years ago, on July 6th, 1957, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were introduced through a mutual friend at a party in Woolton Parish Church in Liverpool. In a matter of months they became close friends, forming one of the best partnerships in history. Their influence on rock music and popular culture was—and remains—immense. From music to fashion to art and so on, there is no denying the massive stamp they left upon the world. This is one of the first known pictures of the two together, featuring John aged 16 and Paul aged 15, and it was taken by Leslie Kearney.
Happy Holidays!

The controversial photo features all four Beatles in butcher’s jackets, surrounded by offal and plastic baby dolls.
It includes a handwritten note by Lennon, which reads: “Here’s the famous banned butcher cover. You can sell it for $11m dollars.”
