Here's a wild guess: He had a hangover that evening/night so had Rayban glasses on bacause the studio lights were bothering him. :wink:

I just recalled another picture where all thr Beatles are wearing sun glasses: on the back cover of the REVOLVER album (vinyl). It looks as it was taken in the EMI studios.

He's showing (not wearing) sunglasses on the cover of My Brave Face single too.

I remember reading somewhere that he was the first to wear those roundglasses that, later, became associated with John.

I had a pair of those roundglases when I was a teenager.. :shock:

That style of glasses was referred to as "granny glasses".
John adopted them for his character Private Gripweed in Richard Lester's "How I Won the War" (1966) and liked them so much so he kept wearing them.
