The Beatles Caricature 1963. George Harrison (age 20), Paul McCartney (age 21), Ringo Starr and John Lennon (both age 23).
Rare 1963 image capturing The Beatles up-close as shot by famous British photographer, Norman Parkinson for Camera Press of London. It was taken during Parkinson's well known photo session with the Boys from Liverpool at the time their fame was spreading globally. Parkinson shot the group with their heads “stuck” together from the neck up to give
his viewers a close-up of the “Mop Tops”.
The Beatles built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over a three-year period from 1960, with Stuart Sutcliffe initially serving as bass player. The core of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962.
Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their popularity in the United Kingdom after their first hit, “Love Me Do”, in late 1962. They acquired the nickname “the Fab Four” as Beatlemania grew in Britain the next year, and by early 1964 became international stars,
leading the “British Invasion” of the United States pop market.
