Myth-busting outtake photo from The Beatles' Sgt Pepper shoot up for auction
A unique, myth-busting outtake photo from The Beatles Sgt Pepper's cover shoot is set to fetch thousands when it goes up for auction this week.
The picture shows The Fab Four in their colourful outfits as they posed for the most famous album sleeve of all time in 1967.
But auctioneers claim it dispels a long-held rumour that McCartney didn't pose with the group on the day, due to a falling-out with the rest of the band.
The back of the album featured Macca with his back turned, prompting speculation among fans that it wasn't actually him.
Experts claimed he had fallen out with the band and did not want to join the others for the group photo for the front of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
They said he may have posed alone and was later added in. However, auctioneers say this image proves he was there.
