Oh Sisters, Oh Sisters – Mary Hopkin

Mary & Carole Hopkin

Yes that is Mary Hopkin’s sister, Carole, who wrote this rare and obscure book released in 2013 and is now out of print. The book was published by Merton Press. (Beatles Before and Beyond)

Carole had met George’s brother, Harry at a Henley pub and he had expressed the thought that George would love for her to be able to do some sketches of George’s home at Friar Park. Being an illustrator, Carole was thrilled to be given that opportunity and a few of those sketches are included in the book. 

Following the picture of the cover of this rare book is Carole’s sister, Mary Hopkin’s autograph and a very rare Apple 45, released only on Apple in the Philippines. It was a Christmas tune that was issued on Apple after her contract with the company had expired and it is the only country where the 45 appeared on Apple.

All of these items are from my personal collection.
