I purchased this record before I went to Stowe School having heard some stories of their music, I thought that one day this group would be very famous. After the concert I photographed The Beatles with the headmaster and family and also some pupils. It was during this time that I asked the Beatles if they would Kindly sign my LP for me. I had even taken with me a black felt tip pen marker for this purpose. They not only signed the Album but drew some drawings on the rear cover. Schoolboy David Moores had asked The Beatles to play at Stowe School and the Beatles were paid 100 (pounds). They played their songs from their first LP release ‘Please Please Me’. Brian Epstein had made a number of contracts from their early days for The Beatles to play various venues. Being the honourable businessman that he was Brain and The Beatles fulfilled these contracts. I got on well with The Beatles and continued photographing them until 1967. My last session was the exclusive photographic coverage of The Beatles recording “All You Need Is Love” for “Our World”. “Our World” was first live live worldwide linked satellite programme. It was to be broadcast live to 19 nations on the 25th June 1967. Each of the countries provided a separate segment. I was at Abbey Road EMI studios on the 24th June in addition to the 25th June. This enabled me to photograph the setup and rehearsals. On the 25th June the live recording of The Beatles singing “All You Need is Love” was transmitted as the final segment. The worldwide audience is estimated at between 400 - 700 million viewers; The Beatles closed the programme with the final performance ever of “All You Need Is Love”. David’s address withheld for privacy.
