What is going on here?



Are they in the recording studio?   At a rehearsal for something?

  1. An uncropped version of this photo appears in the first printing of Ray Coleman's "Man Who Made The Beatles" Brian Epstein biography (1989), and the man on the right is apparently Carl Perkins. Possibly confirming the rumors that he was indeed in the studio when the Beatles recorded their versions of his "Matchbox," "Honey Don't" and/or "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby."

  2. My first thought is the photo was taken at the far end of
    No.2 studio Abbey,and that it is George behind John,about 1965

  3. This pic was taken by Clive Epstein in EMI Studio 2 on 1st June 1964. There's Carl Perkins on the far right. Pic taken by Clive Epstein and published in Ray Coleman's Brian Epstein biography.

  7. Perkins was definitely there. He talked about this visit to EMI to watch them cut these tracks. If I recall he mentioned it to Ringo at the taping of the Carl perkins tribute. And curiously, Ringo didn't seem to recall any of it :-0
