Beatles 1965 Photo Trove Sells for $5,000


The BBC reports:

An archive of unseen photographs of The Beatles on tour at the height of Beatlemania have sold at auction for a hammer price of £5,000.

The behind-the-scenes pictures were taken during the band's 1965 US tour.

They capture the Fab Four on stage, at press conferences as well as during the filming of the famous Ed Sullivan Show.

Dan Hampson, Omega Auctions manager, said there had been "unprecedented interest" ahead of the specialist Beatles memorabilia auction.

The collection, which was sold with full copyright, consisted of 38 original prints, 12 rolls of film and colour transparencies, all taken in 1964 and 1965.
