Please add any pics of people who played a part in The Beatles' story, other than the Fab Four themselves. Good-sized and good-quality ones preferred. I'll add them to the picture gallery section of the site.
These might include pics of George Martin, Brian Epstein, Pete Best, Stuart Sutcliffe, Astrid Kirchherr, or anyone else who played a major or minor role in the Beatles story.
Thanks!
I can take personal jabs just fine, but younger members don't always understand.

In December 1960, Charles ‘Chas’ Newby was temporarily the bassist for The Beatles. The members of The Beatles had returned from their first trip to Germany in early December, except for bassist Stuart Sutcliffe who stayed behind in Hamburg with a cold. Sutcliffe didn’t return back to Liverpool until January 20, 1961, with airfare money borrowed from his girlfriend Astrid Kirchherr. In the meantime Newby, a friend and former band mate of Pete Best (in The Blackjacks and skiffle group The Barmen), filled in on bass for three gigs with the Beatles.
In the book Liddypool: Birthplace of The Beatles, Newby said this about his start in music – “I started playing acoustic guitar and then progressed to the bass guitar. I never wanted to be a professional musician – I had always longed to be a scientist.” In fact, during his brief stint with the Beatles, Chas was on vacation from a university he was attending. John Lennon asked him to go with the Beatles to Germany when they were to make their second trip there, but he chose to return to the university instead. Newby would later become a Mathematics teacher at Droitwich Spa High School in Worcestershire, England.
When Stuart Sutcliffe left the band in August 1961, Paul McCartney switched from guitar to bass to permanently fill that vacancy. It’s interesting to note that like Paul, Chas is also a left-handed bass player. And not only that, they share the same birthday (June 18) with Chas being one year, to the day, older than Paul.

About 30 minutes before I saw this post, I bought a can koozie with the Abbey Road picture on it. I had to pull it out of the bag and look. Sure enough, he’s there. And to think just a few months ago I would have called them kooks also. To love them is to know them.

I’ve been looking at some early pictures of George Martin. Actually, he’s rather handsome.
Does anyone know the story behind him being born in a prison?

Not to be mean towards the guy, but how can you not recognize the Beatles.
