Citando:
"The former artist's studio located on Flood Street in London has been converted into a modern plan residence consisting of two bedrooms, a bathroom, an open plan kitchen and reception room set over two floors.

Chelsea Manor Studios opened in 1902 and has been used by several artists, photographers and writers including Norman Parkinson and Graham Sutherland.

The most famous photo session to take place in Chelsea Manor Studios was on March 30, 1967, when the Beatles had their picture taken for the ground-breaking album cover of 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' by photographer Michael Cooper."

Citando:
"The Beatles are pictured performing in Exeter. The Liverpudlian band first performed at the ABC as the support act to Tommy Roe and Chris Montez on March 28, 1963, when they performed Love Me Do, Do You Want to Know A Secret, Please, Please Me, I Saw Her Standing There and Taste of Honey. Part of this show was recorded for BBC 2's 'On the Scene'. As they quickly became popular they performed in Exeter again on November 14, 1963. It is not known if this picture was March or November"

2021-02: Paul McCartney nos Simpsons...

George Harrison também apareceu, detalhes aqui:
Citando:
"‘Lisa The Vegetarian’ would go down as a stone-cold Simpsons classic episode that featured the hilarious ‘You Don’t Win Friends With Salad’ song and Homer’s disbelief that ham, bacon and pork came from the same ‘magical animal’, on top of the McCartney cameo. It would go on to become the deserved recipient of two awards, an Environmental Media Award and a Genesis Award, for highlighting environmental and animal issues, respectively.

“We were a bit worried that she would be a vegetarian for a week, then Homer would persuade her to eat a hot dog,” McCartney has since told GQ magazine. “The producers of the programme assured us that she would remain that way, and they kept their word,” Macca added."

Yesterday side effects?

Beatles music is being used to prevent video sharing (by activating the copyright filters on social networks):

Quoting:
"(...), then walks up to Reyes, who is still playing music, and tries to ask him a question. But the officer doesn’t answer—he simply stares straight ahead and holds his cell phone pointed towards Devermont, as the Beatles’ “Yesterday” moves into the second verse."


George Harrison prank on Phil Collins

An account of a funny story I had already heard about, occurred on the occasion of remastering of the triple album "All Things Must Pass":

Quoting:
"Collins was devastated, to say the least.

A while later, Stewart calls Collins and puts Harrison on the line. "'Did you get the tape?' Harrison asked. "I now realize I was fired by a Beatle," Collins sighed. The two changed the subject, but a few minutes later, Harrison couldn't stop laughing.

"Don't worry, it was a piss-take. I got Ray Cooper to play really badly and we dubbed it on," Harrison admitted. "Thought you'd like it!" So, Harrison had an entire recording session with a conga player who he asked to play poorly, just to pull one over on Collins."

The Beatles ( ͡⊙ ͜ʖ ͡⊙) GREEN ALBUM (DISC 2) ( ͡◉ ͜ʖ ͡◉ ) - YouTube

Quoting: 
This is disc 2 of the double GREEN ALBUM of The Beatles, never released... High definituion CD artwork is available at the links below. These are simulations of what would be the vinyl records with compilation of hits of John, Paul, Ringo and George solo careers in the period 1970-1981, similar to the famous RED and BLUE Albums released in 1973. Good for those who have lived the 60's and 70's - the golden age of vinyl records - but also good for those who have not lived this era, to have a grasp of the excitement.
