On this day, according to Barry Miles in his book “The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years“, The Beatles attended the opening of an exhibition at the Indica Gallery by the Greek sculptor Takis Vasilakis, who became a friend with The Beatles and Yoko Ono.
I’d been down to see things like Takis who’d made these flashing lights and sold them for a fortune!
John Lennon – 1980 – From “Revolver (2022)” book
One of Indica gallery’s first exhibitions was by the Greek sculptor Takis Vassilakis, whose angular metal shapes were embellished by flashing lights. Paul immediately bought a Takis, consisting of a long, spindly rod topped by a green light, and a matching, but shorter, rod topped by a red one. Seeing a resemblance to the singing duo that included Jane’s diminutive, carrot-haired brother, he nicknamed it ‘Peter and Gordon’.
From “Paul McCartney – The Life” by Philip Norman, 2016
The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years
"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!
