Here I've highlighted Paul and the two teachers who have birds on them. Note that the section the teachers are in has been moved to the left in the collage. Sadly Ian James and George Harrison (who are in the full photo, but not in this section), and Mike McCartney (who is in this section) do not appear.

The Silver Beatles auditioning for Larry Parnes. Johnny Hutchinson on drums. 10th May 1960.

interesting things to note:

• John and Paul are separated from George in the collage
• George is pasted standing on the Queen Victoria monument
• Johnny Hutchinson is included in the collage, but Stu (from this photo) is not

I wonder if Johnny was included as a representation of their drummer-troubles in that period?

Probably the Odd Spot 1962. See this video for lots of photos from that night. The mics match, and it's the first gig they wore their suits. Maybe this specific photo is in one of Mike's books? Or his private collection?

Liverpool Institute High School for Boys, Upper School 1960

I've highlighted Paul. Note the women in the bottom left who are included in the collage. The far right of this image seems to have been "repaired" by AI. I do not recommend zooming in on it.

George does not feature in this photograph, as he'd already started his apprenticeship. Mike is farther right in the photo than the section included in the collage. Ian James is not listed (possibly he had also left for a job?).

George with friends on Harlech hitchhiking trip. Harlech 1959. (Probably). These two also feature with Paul in image 071.

Does anyone have any information about this photo? It looks like stage lighting to me, so it's possible the school did a version of Anne Frank? But I've never heard of Paul being in such a production.
