Beatlemania in Mattapoisett

Jim Cushman of Mattapoisett, an avid Beatles collector, poses alongside a shirt worn by the late John Lennon during the recording of his final album Double Fantasy. Cushman obtained the shirt from Richard Carlson, a guitar tech at the Hit Factory in New York where the sessions were recorded, who received the shirt as a gift from Lennon himself. It’s just one of countless Beatles-related collectibles Cushman has amassed over the years. (Photo by Kenneth J. Souza).
