Following in the footsteps of books collecting the Beatles-era photos of Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, a book collecting George Harrison's Fab pics is now on the way. Details via The Associated Press : A book of Beatles -era photographs taken by George Harrison, many of them never published, will be released next year.

Beatles News Roundup: Lennon Amp Turns Up on Facebook, Hannah Waddingham Sings a Bit of a New Paul McCartney Tune

Dad buys guitar amp for £3k on Facebook and discovers it belonged to Beatles legend - Daily Star A gobsmacked dad discovered that a guitar amp he snagged on Facebook for less than £3k was previously owned by John Lennon - and could have been used on the White Album, he reckons. James Taylor, 45, spotted the Fender Blackface Deluxe amp from either 1964 or 1966 on the social media platform and decided it would be a perfect addition to his collection. He was informed that it might have been passed on to the seller by a session musician who received it from John Lennon - but he admitted he didn't really buy into the story at first. However, after delving into some research on the gear, he found out that the star did indeed own one, and a musician Lennon collaborated with on the Imagine album – Rod Lynton – happened to be pals with the seller. So, the father-of-two got in touch with Rod and secured what he believes is a letter of authenticity confirming that the amp was indeed a gift...

Beatles News Roundup: Gary Puckett on Out-Selling the Beatles; Stevie Wonder Wears John Lennon

Gary Puckett sings on at 82: ‘In 1968, we sold more singles than the Beatles’ - Hastings Tribune With his soaring — at times almost operatic vocals — at the fore, the vintage military uniform-clad group scored a slew of hit singles between 1967 and 1969, including “Woman, Woman,” “Young Girl,” “Lady Willpower,” “Over You” and “This Girl Is A Woman Now.” “In 1968, we sold more singles — not albums — than the Beatles. We sold more singles than anyone, so that’s a little badge of honor,” said Puckett, now 82, speaking from his Florida home in the coastal city of Clearwater. Those hit singles will be featured when Puckett performs as part of the 2025 Happy Together Tour. The lineup also features Little Anthony and the current iterations of the Turtles, the Cowsills, Jay and the Americans, and the Vogues. While his appearance is billed as Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, he acknowledged that he will be accompanied by the same four-man house band that backs all the Happy Together Tour acts...
