The photograph I wish I'd taken

Early Beatles. Photographer UnknownYes, I wish I had taken this photograph. I was about 18 miles away at the time, I expect I was watching Elsie Tanner in black and white, eating cheap sweets, drinking sweet tea. I used to make the journey and cross the Mersey on a regular basis, I cycled once and crossed on the ferry but I had no inkling that these lads were doing anything interesting.

The man with the glass of milk stout, where is he now? And who took this mystery photo?

  1. Well, I still haven't exhaled. Love the Beatles so much I could eat 'em with a spoon. Extraordinary photo. Such an early one, in color no less. I feel like someone opened up their family album. Very exciting for an old fan like me!
