International Times, also known as “it” or “IT,” was an underground newspaper co-founded by Barry Miles, a friend of Paul McCartney. In issue #16 of the newspaper, there is an advertisement for the Indica bookstore, which was also co-founded by Barry Miles. The ad was illustrated by Paul McCartney and Beat poet Harry Fainlight.
Paul was happy to lend a hand in laying out the paper and there was one evening when Paul, together with the Beat poet Harry Fainlight, took time out before dinner to draw a half-page psychedelic ad for Indica Books in order to meet the printer’s deadline the following morning. It was published in issue 16. Such were the times.
From “Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now” by Barry Miles, 1997
The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years
"With greatly expanded text, this is the most revealing and frank personal 30-year chronicle of the group ever written. Insider Barry Miles covers the Beatles story from childhood to the break-up of the group."
We owe a lot to Barry Miles for the creation of those pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - a day to day chronology of what happened to the four Beatles during the Beatles years!
