Robert Fraser

According to Barry Miles in his book “The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years“, in October 1966, art dealer Robert Fraser organized an exhibition by painter Richard Hamilton at his London gallery. Paul McCartney, who was a friend of Fraser, assisted in hanging some of the work, bought a piece during the opening, and also urged John Lennon to see the exhibition.

Richard Hamilton and Paul McCartney became friends, resulting in him designing the packaging for The Beatles’ White Album in 1968.

"With greatly expanded text, this is the most revealing and frank personal 30-year chronicle of the group ever written. Insider Barry Miles covers the Beatles story from childhood to the break-up of the group."

We owe a lot to Barry Miles for the creation of those pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - a day to day chronology of what happened to the four Beatles during the Beatles years!
