Overview
In early 1964, photographer Harry Benson received a call from the photo editor of Londonās Daily Express, who asked him to cover the Beatlesā trip to Paris. It was the beginning of a career-defining relationship, which would both make Bensonās name and produce some of the most intimate photographs ever taken of the Beatles.
In Paris, Benson captured the Fab Four in the midst of a pillow fight at the George V Hotel, a spontaneous moment which came to epitomize the spirit of the bandāBenson himself has called it the best shot of his career. Later that year, he followed the group on the road for their debut U.S. tour, documenting their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, their surprising encounter with Cassius Clay, and the hysteria of New York Beatlemania. Benson also photographed George Harrisonās honeymoon in Barbados, documented the Beatles on the set of their debut movie A Hard Dayās Night, and was present on the now infamous 1966 tour when John Lennon said that the Beatles were āmore popular than Jesus.ā
This pocket-sized edition brings back
the best of Bensonās luminous black-and-white Beatles portfolio.
Complemented by quotes and newspaper clippings from the period, an
introduction by the photographer himself adds exciting personal testimony to these iconic images of the greatest band in musical history.
