Damn. I saw a story at [CNN](http://cnnphotos.blogs.cnn.com/2013/02/01/the-beatles-in-color-unseen-photos/?hpt=hp_c1) that led me to [this place.](http://curvebender.com/) Some photographer (Henry Grossman) has about 6,000 unseen Beatles photos, about 1,000 of which have been turned into a 13 pound book. It would make a hell of a gift for a major Beatles fan, like me! ---

I’m not usually big on picture books, but that does look awfully cool – especially the stuff from 1967. ---

My goodness, that is amazing! Thanks **Leaffan**. They were the first ‘rock and roll’ band that I cared about. Not because of the hysteria (which, honestly, was rather a negative to me) but because they had a new sound. The psychedelic albums were (and still are) touchstones of my own personal reality. Thank you very much for sharing this discovered trove! ---

Wow, I’d love to own one of those. How cool would that be? Sadly I don’t think the $495 - $1190 (USD) is within my budget on a price versus value ratio. ---

$500, thanks, but I know what the Beatles look like. ETA, if it was, say, $50-$100 and released closer to Christmas time they’d probably sell a ton of copies. ---

They look suspiciously like the stars of Yellow Submarine. Freakishly so. ---

Hmmm, an inordinate fondness for Beatles. ---

Have you seen this video of the Beatles when they were an opening band? [The Beatles 1963 tour with Helen Shapiro: 50 years ago, the Beatles were the opening band.](http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2013/01/28/the_beatles_1963_tour_with_helen_shapiro_50_years_ago_the_beatles_were_the.html) ---

If they’re good photos then it’s probably worth that price for those who want it. And it looks like they are good.
