James t-shirt

It looks to me that the fan in this photo has been sadly cut out for Alamy Images.  But Linda and Paul are holding what is a pretty common gift to give Paul, a customized t-shirt.  For this one,  the fan took  then-recent photo of when son, James was born and put it on a shirt.   The handmade t-shirt is always a good way to get a Beatle's attention.

The Greeting Committee

These photos of John wearing "The Greeting Committee" t-shirt has always been some of my favorites. Here is the story behind the photo, told by Greeting Committee member, Marie Lacey.

My friends Robin, Goldie, Barbara an I used to go see John every day while he was recording at Record Plant (1973) and he gave us the nickname, "The Greeting Committee". We made up a Tee-shirt for him and he surprised us by wearing it the very next day! I set up the picture (asked John to open his jacket so we could read the writing) and he asked me "how", so I opened up his jacket for him (yes I did!!). And Robin took this picture!
