Rare Beatles Photos

John Lennon famously stated then he felt the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus," and though he would have to apologize for his selfish comment, the band continues to be a source of legend for music fans around the world.





In spite of the fact that countless Beatles pictures  are readily recalled by fans, no one had a better eye on The Beatles than Robert Whitaker, the late photographer who was the group's official documenter at the Beatlemania peak.

A curated sampling of Whitaker's images has been presented in a new book, titled "With the Beatles". The book - available through Amazon and in bookstores - offers a rich and textured look at The Beatles.
