Paul McCartney Spotlights The Beatles' 'Innocence' In New Book
Paul McCartney has taken a trip back to the early days of “Beatlemania,” with his first book of original Beatles photos, titled, 1964: Eyes Of The Storm. The tome, which will be published on June 13th, features 275-shots of long unseen “Macca” photographs spotlighting six city portfolios — Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C. and Miami — along with McCartney's personal recollections of the photos.
Rolling Stone quoted McCartney talking about the book, which covers November 1963 to February 1964, as saying: “Looking at these photos now, decades after they were taken, I find there’s a sort of innocence about them. Everything was new to us at this point. But I like to think I wouldn’t take them any differently today. They now bring back so many stories, a flood of special memories, which is one of the many reasons I love them all, and know that they will always fire my imagination. The fact that these photographs have been taken by the National Portrait Gallery is humbling yet also astonishing — I’m looking forward to seeing them on the walls, 60 years on.”
