Rare photos of The Beatles to be auctioned in March



A collection of unpublished and unreleased color photos of The Beatles from 1964 will be auctioned in the United Kingdom this March.

The rare photos were taken during the band’s first United States tour, and will be sold to mark the 50th anniversary of the release of their first album Please Please Me.

The pictures were taken by physicist and inventor Dr. Robert Beck, who left an archive of photographs and slides in his home when he died. The 65 photos include close ups of The Beatles from a press conference at the Las Vegas Sahara Hotel as well as stage shots of George Harrison with his red Rickenbacker guitar.

The photos are expected to fetch between $16,000-$25,000.
