What a mood (January 8, 1967): John Lennon blatantly ignoring Georgie Fame to stare and talk to Paul Mccartney. This is them. Talking and smiling at each other, over somebody's head.

Life With The Lennons, Exclusive by Ray Coleman, April 1965 [x]

“In the beginning when I joined, Paul was the only one who’d sleep with me…”

Ringo: In the beginning when I joined, Paul was the only one who’d sleep with me George: Well, there was actually a little bit of a thing to that… Paul: …I was never very prejudiced George: No, I thought that was the best move really because when you joined and you were like the new fella, nobody… and I thought well if I hang out with you then they’ll all be like… you know… so I thought it would be good to… Paul: …put Paul with him George: Because then it would be… Paul: … it would be alright then George: Well, it would because then like… Ringo: But then it changed, it would be with anybody. For a while it would be us, for a while it would be us, John and I…

INT: How much singing and composing did you witness [in India]?

PS: I didn't see much, because they did that kind of thing mostly at night. So I only ever saw or was part of that one session that I photographed. I was walking back to my tent late one afternoon before dinner, and I just heard John and Paul singing from behind the trees. And I walked over and saw what they were doing, and I went and got my camera, which is the only time I took my camera out on purpose. So I took a few shots through the fence, then I walked through and just sat down, with Paul and John side by side, and just hung out. Paul had a piece of paper with the words, "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, oh, how the life goes on," and it was on the step beneath him. The first picture in the book is the shot of him looking down and his hand is off the guitar, and he's reading the words, which he didn't have memorized yet. And they just played with it for about five minutes, having a wonderful time fooling around. It was such fun, I mean them having so much fun. When I first sat down, they were actually just playing bits and fragments of their older songs.

INT: Previously recorded material?

PS: Yeah, like Michelle and Eleanor Rigby. Just musically meandering. Then Paul started looking down at the piece of paper and I took a picture.

INT: Was George around?

PS: No. But Ringo was siting there with his leg crossed, a cigarette in his hand. So after they had played Ob-La-Di, Ob-la-Da over and over again, they stopped for a breather, and that's when Paul looked up at me, smiled, and with this really wonderful twinkle in his eye, said, "That's all there is so far, we haven't got the words yet." So that was the only time I experienced it.

INT: That's interesting because Lennon had stated in many interviews that he and McCartney had really stopped composing together in late '64 or early '65, but Paul said in his recent book that they actually composed together right to the end. So what you witnessed reinforces Paul's version.

PS: That is interesting. And they were having so much fun together. There's no question about it.

John said they have been told that girls masturbate when they are on stage.

"We're still at the masturbating stage ourselves," interrupted Paul. "You just can't get any on stage. I'm joking, of course."
