Twenty black-and-white pictures of the Beatles, never been seen before by the public, are put up for sale at an auction in Cheshire on 19 May. These pictures were made by Mr Allchorne, a former manager of a film studio, during the taking of the first film of the Beatles ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ in 1964. Mr Allchorne has kept the photos for himself unaware of its historical value. His daughter has now decided to sell the photos together with two menu cards which were made for a flight of the Beatles from London to New York. These items have an estimate of £ 10.000.
I read the article because of a kind of nostalgic feeling. I never was really able to remember the words of a song by heart, but the lyrics of the Beatles were different, they were slowly and clearly spoken. ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ was one of the few songs I felt I could sing decently along with. Besides this, this article mentions that one of the menus of the Beatles in 1965 has offered them a clear turtle soup amontillado. Is this the ‘amontillado’ we just met at the start of this year’s literature course? What a surprise to meet him again on the menu card of the Beatles!

Very nice article! I enjoy reading about your nostalgic feelings towards the Beatles. This reminds me to the fact that when me and my family went on holiday by car, my parents always played a cd of the Beatles while driving.

The music of the Beatles is fantastic. What a surprise for the daughter of Mr Allchorne. She is going to be a rich girl now after selling the pictures. I have never seen the film "a hard days night" which was made in 1964. The music of the Beatles is legendary. It was really awful that one of the members of the band, John Lennon was killed in 1980. His music will always be remembered.
