Great newsletter! I’m excited to listen to Revolver remaster while browsing through Klaus Voorman’s illustrations. Any more information on his partner and collaborator Astrid Kirchherr?
Klaus and Astrid met The Beatles during their Hamburg years, Astrid later was engaged to early Beatles bassist Stuart Sutcliffe. She photographed the band during these years and is also credited with influencing the band’s moptop hairstyle. Klaus, aside from working on the Revolver album art and collage for The Beatles Anthology, was also a close friend and collaborator, adding his bass playing to several post-Beatles recording sessions with Lennon, Harrison and Starr.
