This day in 1965

On October 7, 1965, George Harrison was photographed at his home in Esher, Surrey, England for the Beatlemania-era magazine called The Beatles Book. George was always the most private of the Beatles. Both John and Paul seemed to love the fame and bustle (at least at the beginning) than George, who viewed it more as a curse than a blessing. By 1965, his naive and joyous bewilderment had begun to fade, as fame encroached more and more on his life and even his family members in Liverpool and Illinois, U.S. This photo shoot probably represented his deepening dislike of the spotlight that would increase exponentially in 1966, culminating in the collective decision of the four to stop touring after Candlestick Park, San Francisco.
