McCartney reveals his and Lennon’s early bid to fame

Former ‘The Beatles’ stars Sir Paul McCartney and John Lennon once sent their personal ads to a local music magazine because they were very keen on seeing their names in print.

McCartney has revealed that the two of them and their guitarist bandmate George Harrison contacted a small publication in Liverpool, England, so as to get their written work published.

“There used to be this paper in Liverpool called Mersey Beat. And in it you had a column where you could put personal ads. And so John and George and I used to put them in. Just so we could see our words in print, you know?” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

“It’d be like: ‘Barry! Meet me behind the station at this time.’ And then it would come out and we’d be like, ‘Yeah! It got in!’ Just seeing it there was a little kick,” he added. (ANI)
