Here’s a fab a picture that most of you won’t have expected to see — George Harrison Marks with Brucie. This is from the photoshoot for the Mister Entertainment LP by Bruce Forsyth with Alyn Ainsworth and his Orchestra put out by Parlophone (PCS 3013) sometime around 1960-1963.
The Birth of Venus by Angus McBean
