EMI in 1963


I am excited to share with you this rare photo (and you have to know that I don't use the word "rare" very often) of Paul McCartney from 1963 leaving EMI studios.   Any guesses as to what they were recording?   Who is the fellow in the background?

  2. The guy in the background looks like Hurricane Smith.

  3. It's possible he wasn't there for a recording session. Judging from what he is wearing this looks like it may have been taken in November 1963. They were there to recieve gold records from the EMI execs and pose for photos with them and their gold records. There also may have been a luncheon afterwards.

  4. My guess was also that it looks like Hurricane Smith behind him.

  5. It looks nothing like Norman "Hurricane" Smith did at the time.
