Anyone who lived through the 1960s remembers them, and the digital remastering of their output has ensured that younger generations know them too. How could they not? The songs will live forever and are regularly used in film or TV scores, on advertisements, and on radio channels everywhere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith such coverage and interest, how can there be anything new to say about the band? \u003ci\u003eThe Beatles\u003c\/i\u003e manages to do so thanks to the\u003cb\u003e remarkable collection of photographs housed in Mirrorpix, the library of the \u003ci\u003eDaily Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, Britain's premier popular daily. With so much interest in the band, photographers were always looking to cover not just the major events that all the media attended, but smaller, more intimate moments. And then, of course, there were the paparazzi: The Beatles were perfect targets for this new breed of photographer who didn't ask for permission to take their photos and followed George, Paul, John, and Ringo wherever they went. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book begins with an overview, starting with Brian Epstein's birth in 1934 to The Beatles signing with him in 1961, in between covering their time in Liverpool, their start as the Quarrymen, their gigs in Hamburg, and the dawn of what would become their iconic hairstyles. Each ensuing chapter contains \u003cb\u003eunique timelines that highlight\u003c\/b\u003e notable daily activities each year, from concert dates, to \u003cb\u003epersonal matters\u003c\/b\u003e (Paul marries Linda March 12, 1969), to \u003cb\u003eepic events\u003c\/b\u003e that solidify the group's fame forever (Apple Records launches August 11, 1968). The book finishes with a chapter on \u003cb\u003ethe band's breakup\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003etheir lives, post-Beatles\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluded are \u003cb\u003e15 removable reproductions of collectible memorabilia, including: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcert posters and flyers for the group's performances, including at the Odeon (with Roy Orbison in 1963) and their record-breaking Shea Stadium appearance (1965)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1963 program cover for a Royal performance in the presence of the Queen Mother at the Prince of Wales Theatre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1963 signed souvenir card from their Scottish tour of Glasgow, Kirkcaldy, and Dundee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover from a pictorial commemorating their 1964 performances at Carnegie Hall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1965 Christmas card signed by the Fab Four\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1966 advertisement for the band's US single release, \"Yellow Submarine\/Eleanor Rigby\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartoon and caricature cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e Mirrorpix has a sensational collection of material that was taken to feed an insatiable desire to see the band, their families, hangers on, and what they all did.

With this sort of coverage, unsurprisingly, much material was not published, and it is this treasure trove that is showcased in this rare and exciting collection.
