The Fab Five. Behind Beatlemania. In early 1964, Harry Benson was getting on a plane for a foreign assignment in Africa, when he got a call from the photo editor of London newspaper " The Daily Express". He was now going with The Beatles to Paris to document French Beatlemania & what followed was the biggest (ticket to) ride of his life. Benson was warmly welcomed into The Beatles inner sanctum, resulting in some of the most intimate photographs ever taken of the b&, then on the cusp of world domination. In Paris, he took the famous photograph of the Fab Four having a pillow fight at the George V Hotel; he shot their groundbreaking first visit to the United States, the full impact of New York hysteria, their famous appearance on " The Ed Sullivan" show, the band in Florida, including their surprising encounter with Cassius Clay; as well as on the set of "A Hard Days Night". The relationship continued in 1966, including Georges honeymoon in Barbados & their notorious US tour, under the shadow cast by Lennons comment that the Beatles were "bigger than Jesus Christ." Bensons luminous black & white photographs show at close quarters The Beatles composing, performing, encountering their fans, relaxing, & engaging with each other, while trying to cope with their increasingly isolating fame. In addition to hundreds of photographs, many previously unseen, there is an introductory essay by Benson as well as"es & newspaper clippings from the period. ...
