“George told me once that I smelt like home. I got all paranoid, you know, thinking I smelt of fish and chip shops or dirty bars or something. But he said no, I just always smelt of home.” — Paul McCartney

“It used to be PaulnGeorge… as one word. They were the kids from the grammar school. That’s how we referred to them. For ages we didn’t even know George really, he was just ‘Paul’s mate’.” — Len Garry

“The papers try and stir things and act like there’s some kind of problem, but at the end of the day, I love him, he’s my mate and that’s all there is to it.” — George Harrison

“Paul and George always ganged up on people. Like Stuart. They could get pretty bitchy.” — John Lennon

“They used to spend all of their spare time together. Even the school holidays.” — Hunter Davis

“George didn’t mind slagging Paul off. But he HATED other people doing it.” — Tom Petty

The story behind this sweater: It was knitted for The Beatles by three Swedish fans (Pia Karlander, Ulla Blomquist and Elizabeth Berg, of Stockholm). The Beatles Book’s March 1965 explains…

“[T]hat giant sweater which was sent to The Beatles at the Hammersmith Odeon when they were appearing in their Christmas Show. The boys liked it so much that they wore it almost every night from then on for one of their quick appearances on stage.” (x)
