Here are some photos of Abbey Road Studios. Can you identify the single Mystery Man that appears in all of the photos. What was the year?

Peter, I would guess that it's Derek Taylor. Looks like him and he would certainly have access to the studio.

Glenn Johns Mac's Hofner still has the pick guard on it, so I'd say 1972 by the looks of their clothes and the hair styles.

The hair is a different colour now but the good looks are still there?????, it was 1983 by the way. the piano looking instrument was the harmonium used on We Can Work It Out and yes that is Macca's Hofner

I still dig your glasses. Did you work there Roy? If so I promise to be more respectful from now on when I disagree with you, haha!

I'm confused. Is that glare or does that Hofner have a pickguard? Paul removed the pickguard from "the" Hofner in '65. If the photos were taken in '83...
Please explain.

Roy, how was it that you were there?... can you tell us a story?

I wasn't sure if that was a pickguard or not either. Finally after all these years (even eclipsing the revolation of Deep throat) we finally know that The Walrus was Roy.
