An exhibition of photos taken of The Beatles in 1968 will go on display at a gallery in Harrogate next week.
The Beatles: Mad Day Out will open on April 19 at RedHouse Originals on Cheltenham Mount.
It features 23 images by Tom Murray who was invited to assist renowned photojournalist Sir Don McCullin in capturing a new publicity campaign for The Beatles.
The Fab Four were in the midst of recording the White Album at the time and Murray, armed with just two rolls of film and a Nikon F:35mm, produced some of the most famous colour images of the band.
Speaking later, he said:
“It was as perfect a day as I could wish for. Getting to hang out with one of my favourite bands and take pictures was just sensational.”
The Mad Day Out portfolio consists of 23 images from the 195-print UK edition published in 2007. All prints are available to pre-order.
Just one example of each image, signed and numbered by Mr Murray, will be on display so the images are subject to availability.
The collection will be complimented by original artworks and rare 1960s ephemera, including pieces by German photographer Astrid Kirchherr, who was known for her association with The Beatles, and pop-artist Dudley Edwards.
The exhibition will run throughout spring.
All images by Tom Murray.
