The Beatles: Photographs from the Set of Help! - Tapa dura

"Musicians will enjoy the close-up images of the band with its famed guitars: George Harrison with his Gibson acoustic, John Lennon with his Rickenbacker, Paul McCartney with his violin-shaped Hofner bass. We've seldom seen these instruments so closely and looking so shiny and new. The same is true for the pictures of the Beatles themselves. They look so young, fresh and lively that it's hard to believe the pictures are more than 50 years old. . . [This book is] an excellent collection of one photographer's intimate view of the Beatles, featuring mostly unfamiliar and very compelling images of history's most famous band." -WinkBooks.net

Published to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the release of the Beatles' second and final motion picture Help!, this almost entirely unpublished collection of photographs marks a pivotal turning point in the band's history, as they evolved from much-loved musicians into the most important group of all time. Specialist set-photographer Emilio Lari was invited by director Richard Lester to shoot stills of the filming at Twickenham Studios and document behind the scenes as the band relaxed in their hotel between takes. With an introduction by Lester and intimate never-before-seen images, The Beatles: Help! provides new and fascinating insights into the band that changed the history of music and the world.
