Had it not been for Mark Chapman, today would have been John Lennon's 73rd birthday.
A perfect excuse to scan and upload this 1961 photograph by Jurgen Vollmer
which was later used, heavily cropped, as the cover of the 1975 'Rock 'n Roll' album.
This full sized version is a picture card distributed with 'Mojo' magazine a few years ago
and shows the blurred images of the other Beatles (Paul, George and Stu Sutcliffe) walking by.
It seems they did so 12 times before the photographer was satisfied with the result!
