The Savage Young Beatles

c>log
The internet is a gigantic super kick ass super buffet! Just ask this DJ, by golly. Now, look at what was sent to us the other day from the ether! True music fans will appreciate these rare Beatles photographs. And, if you can't tell, this photo shoot set the norm for the now hackneyed obligatory band picture.
Repeated by every band since and then some.

Some interesting facts about this particular collection of early Beatles photographs.
  • The photographer, Astrid Kirchherr, dates these photos as being taken November 5, 1960.
  • In a 1997 interview, Astrid Kirchherr indicates that John is only 19 years old in these photos.
  • This is The Beatles' first actual photo session.
  • Astrid Kirchherr would go on to be one of The Beatles' premier photographers.
