The Beatles

Product description

At one time the most famous pop band in the world, The Beatles still hold center stage. With such coverage and interest, how can there be anything new to say about the band? This book manages to do so thanks to the remarkable collection of photographs housed in Mirrorpix, the library of the Daily Mirror, Britain’s premier popular daily. With so much interest in the band, photographers were always looking to cover not just the major events that all the media attended, but smaller, more intimate moments. And then, of course, there were the paparazzi: The Beatles were perfect targets for this new breed of photographer who didn’t ask for permission to take their photos.

Included are 15 removable reproductions of collectible memorabilia, including concert posters and flyers for the group’s performances, a 1963 program cover for a Royal performance in the presence of the Queen Mother at the Prince of Wales Theatre, a 1963 signed souvenir card from their Scottish tour, a cover from a pictorial commemorating their 1964 performances at Carnegie Hall, a 1965 Christmas card signed by the Fab Four, a 1966 advertisement for the band’s US single release, “Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby”, and cartoon and caricature cards.
