It is spelled John Barrett in Ken Townsend's Preface for Mark Lewisohn's Recording Sessions. We all are familiar with John Barrett's Notes, without which Recording Sessions, our bible for years, would never have existed.
John Barrett attended the big Liverpool Beatles Convention in 1982. Maybe somebody took photos there?

I remember those news reports in 1984! It made it seem like a new album was just around the corner. We didn't know we only had to wait another 11 years!

And then 19 years between BBC V1 and 2. :roll:

The strangest thing of all is that there is now ANOTHER John Barrett working as an engineer at Abbey Road.

Did he have a son?

It surely can't be a coincidence?

But then anything connected with The Beatles, freakish coincidences are the norm.
