Post you from a different era

Me in 1991, about to go to a school prom with someone I sincerely hoped would be gentle with me. I needn't have worried.

9 October 1956:

John Lennon buys two 78rpm singles on his 16th birthday.

The singles are hugely influential to the young Lennon: Hound Dog by Elvis Presley; and the Ying-Tong Song by the Goons, written by Spike Milligan.

Would love to interview Simon Williams about the couple of times he worked with Peter Sellers; I imagine he would bring a wealth of stories and anecdotes... does anyone know how I might be able to make contact?
