♫⋆｡ Beatles Fact: In the song ‘Eleanor Rigby’, Father McKenzie was originally going to be called ‘Father McCartney’, however Paul McCartney did not like this as it sounded too similar to his father. John Lennon believed it would be fine, however Paul was insistent on changing the name. They looked through a phone book, underneath the name ‘McCartney’ and found ‘McKenzie’, Paul instantly liked the name, and used it in his song. This created the iconic character we know of today.

“As I went into the door [of EMI House] I was in the staircase well. Someone looked over the banister – I asked if the boys were in the building, and the answer was yes. ‘Well,’ I said, ‘get them to look over, and I will take them from here.’”

“I only had my ordinary portrait lens, so to get the picture, I had to lie flat on my back in the entrance. I took some shots and I said, ‘That’ll do.’” - Angus McBean
