Please Love Me Do! Rare color pictures of The Beatles first tour in America head to auction block

By Daily Mail Reporter

Unpublished early color photographs of The Beatles' first U.S. tour will be sold at a U.K. auction.

The photos were taken during the rock band's 1964 visit to the U.S., when color film was expensive and most images of the group were in black and white.

The collection of 65 slides contains many stage shots, including George Harrison with his legendary red Rickenbacker guitar and close-up portraits from a Las Vegas Sahara Hotel press conference and Las Vegas Convention Centre gig.

The images were taken by Dr. Robert Beck, who died in 2002 and left them in an archive of photographs and slides in his Hollywood home.

Omega Auctions said Sunday the images will be sold March 22 — exactly 50 years after The Beatles released their first album.

Boys in the band: George Harrison, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney are seen in this 1964 photo during their first American tour

Looking out to the future: At the time, color photographs (like this one of George Harrison and Ringo Starr) were more expensive to produce making them a rarity

Taking the mic: Paul McCartney (left) and George Harrison (right) are seen singing together in 1964




Musical duo: John Lennon (left) and Paul McCartney (right) are seen with the tell-tale signs that they are early on in their career- no glasses for John and bowl cuts

Littlest fan: McCartney (right) appears to be talking to the mother of the blonde child who looks ready for a picture with the famous foursome



Fresh faced: Lennon (left) was only 24-years-old when the pictured tour took place, and McCartney was even younger at 22 (right)

Taking ownership: 65 slides of the photos are going up for auction on March 22
