This is the story of the photos origin...
These are images from a trove of 3,500 previously unpublished photos of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones shot from 1964 to 1966 by their road manager, Bob Bonis.
More than 200 are set to surface in a series of limited-edition fine-art prints to be sold over eBay starting Feb. 2, making most of them accessible to the Beatles and Stones fans for the first time. The first batch going up for sale Feb. 2 includes 30 images — 15 of the Beatles, 15 of the Rolling Stones.
This is from an era when both bands looked incredibly clean cut. Mick's face isn't bedraggled. Keith looks alive. The Beatles look like they still like each other. Great stuff.
