I had seen the below photo before, but never had the occasion or inclination to ask about it. This was taken during the making of Magical Mystery Tour, which was made ever-so-shortly after the expiration of our sweet Eppy.
Now that I happened across it again in
this comment, I shall ask anyone who happens to read this if you have any idea at all ~ who the hell IS that anonymous bloke with Paulie?
This man's slight resemblance to Brian has driven me bonkers.
Brian Epstein had many, many cousins close to his own age.

Here is my original press photo of Brian's cousin Basil Hyman, and even HE doesn't resemble Brian as much as this fella does.
Basil's picture was an impulse eBay purchase. The photo was initially a mistaken identity shot by reporters, as you can see by the markings on the back.
Basil Hyman had just made a visit to Brian's 24 Chapel Street home the day after his death.
I love everything to do with the Epstein/Hyman families.
BTW, during a re-watching of BBC Arena's The Brian Epstein Story, I noticed Basil was listed in the credits. This means one of my questions was answered: he is still alive, at least as of 1999 when Debbie Geller was writing the book to the movie!

Just to show you that the person with Paul during MMT was not Clive, Brian's brother. Clive Epstein was blond, and this photo of him (far right) is from his wedding in the 60's ~ and even Clive looks less like Brian than Mr Anonymous does.
