The Fab Four Quad, Liverpool, 1963

An early series of portraits of one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music, The Beatles , taken by one of the most accomplished and diverse photographers of the 20th century. Sent to Liverpool by Paris Match  magazine to cover the Beatlemania phenomenon, Hatami managed to gain access backstage at the legendary Cavern Club and captured these amazing images of the Fab Four. 

The portrait of Paul McCartney that's included in this montage has twice been used on the cover of Life once celebrating the 50th anniversary of the British Invasion and once for Paul's 75th birthday.
