The Beatles: On Camera, Off Guard 1963-69 + DVD

Includes DVD featuring rare Beatles footage. It perhaps seems impossible that any images of the Beatles remain unseen, but this fascinating book accompanied by a DVD of rare 8 mm footage provides a whole new insight into the Beatles, in pictures.

Featuring more than 200 rare and never-before-seen images, this is a fascinating insight into the private lives of the world’s biggest band. Painstakingly collected and organized, the photos include shots of the Quarrymen, where John first met Paul; shots from the filming of A Hard Day’s Night and the set of Help in the Bahamas; John and Yoko at home; and Paul on holiday in Frank Sinatra’s Learjet. Interviews with many of the photographers provide an extraordinary insight into the background of each shot, while extended captions give further information. A DVD filled with 8 mm footage of the band at various locations and concerts completes this fantastically intimate compendium that encapsulates the culture, music, and spirit of the 1960s.
