In early 1964, photographer Harry Benson received a call from the
photo editor of London's Daily Express, who asked him to cover the
Beatles' trip to Paris. It was the beginning of a career-defining
relationship, which would both make Benson's 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 band-Benson 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 Harrison's honeymoon in Barbados, documented the Beatles on
the set of their debut movie A Hard Day's Night, and was present on
the now infamous 1966 tour when John Lennon said that the Beatles
were "more popular than Jesus." Previously out-of-print, this
re-edition brings back the best of Benson's 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.
