The Beatles brought to
life in a new book from
Harry Benson
BACK IN 1964, Scottish
photographer Harry Benson
was readying himself for a trip to
cover a news story in Africa.
However, he then he received a call
from the photo editor of the Daily
Express asking him to go out to the
US to cover The Beatles’ fi rst
shows in America. Benson, by his
own admission, had zero interest in
the project. Once he met the band
and saw them play, though, all that
changed. He followed the group
and caught perhaps some of the
most famous images of a band
stepping into music history.
Taschen is releasing a book of
some of Benson’s best images,
including this one capturing the
band’s legendary performance on
The Ed Sullivan Show.
Harry Benson: The Beatles. On
the Road, 1964-1966 published by
Taschen is released this month
priced £29.99.
