LONDON, April 1 (UPI) -- Beatles fans knew John Lennon as the one who wore glasses, but Paul McCartney also had his own pair of specs and wore them behind the scenes in London.
A rare picture of McCartney from 1967 shows him wearing the glasses while he and his band mates were having a discussion about their classic album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Mail on Sunday reported.
The photograph, previously unpublished, is from a set taken by photographer Frank Herrmann, as The Beatles worked at Abbey Road studios in North London.
The 40 photos were taken on March 30, 1967, and were featured in an exclusive spread in The Mail on Sunday's Live magazine
Friends say McCartney rarely wore glasses because it was such a big part of John's image.
He was always conscious that John was famous for his glasses, said one friend. He felt that it was important to maintain their image and John's glasses were part of that.
