Product Description
Product Description
Photographer Harry Benson's work is an extraordinary testament to an extraordinary time. He chronicled the amazing excesses of Beatlemania during a two-and-a-half-year relationship with the band, which took him all over the world and ended with their last tour in 1966.

If Only There Were a Way to Describe How Great this Book Is!
29 Oct 2003
Format:Hardcover
Once there was a way to get back home--a haunting and beautiful lyric if there ever was one. But now there is another beautiful way to get back to the early days of the Beatles and beyond and to see in black and white what it must have been like to be with them during some of their most intimate moments!This large, arresting photographic journey back to the Beatles is a coffee table sized book that would make a perfect Christmas gift for any Beatles aficianado! Benson was there when it all began, and his stories and the photos of the Beatles at their best take us all on a long and winding road back to when the world was younger, and we were too--a time when there was a way, and the way seemed clear and lovely.

The Beatles forever
1 Mar 2004
Format:Hardcover
It grieves me to give any Beatles photograph book only four stars, but I have to say these photos have almost all been published previously. If you're new to the Fabs or don't have many photograph compilations of them, then this will be a magnificent book. But if you've collected on them for years and own Benson's previous book, then many of the pictures will be recycled ones to you.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter, any book featuring the boys is always a treat, even if the information has been read a thousand times before. The quality of the book is good, the photos are reproduced beautifully, what's not to like? Incidentally, the cover photo of John, Paul and Ringo is one of the more evocative photos in the book, they usually crop poor Ringo out of this one. Enjoy!

Fab Shots
7 Nov 2003
Format:Hardcover
This is a wonderful coffee table book. Unfortunately, I had to give this book four stars, and it's The Beatles! However, I was quite disappointed with the pictures that were displayed. I own a previous photo book that Harry Benson had published several years back that was smaller in size, and it was quite better than this one. I guess, I have been fabbed out with the pictures that have been released of The Beatles, and there is not a shot that I have not already seen before from a different angle or shown either in film or video form. I guess it just didn't fulfill my expectations.
But nevertheless, I recommend this book for those who have not yet experienced the remarkable photography of Harry Benson, and the photogenic traits of the topper most popper most band that ever existed. For all you black and white photo aficionados, you'll love the blow ups.
