Paul McCartney and fellow representatives from Apple Records returned to London from America on this day.
They had arrived in Los Angeles on 21 June 1968. The trip came to a close three days later, when they flew to New York to catch their connecting flight back to England.
With McCartney on the trip were Ron Kass, head of Apple Records; former NEMS employee Tony Bramwell, now with Apple; and McCartney’s childhood friend Ivan Vaughan, who had introduced him to John Lennon on 6 July 1957. They were in the US to meet executives from Capitol Records.
While in Los Angeles, McCartney’s relationship with Linda Eastman blossomed; three months later she moved to London to be with him permanently.
