New book includes previously unseen Beatles photographs

When photojournalist Michael Peto died in 1970 he left an extensive collection of 130,000 prints and negatives to the University of Dundee. Two years ago, while archiving the collection, the university discovered over 400 photographs of the most influential band in history all of which had never been seen in public before. On 26th January the photographs of The Beatles by Michael Peto will be published for the firsttime in Now These Days Are Gone, a limited edition book from Genesis Publications, to be launched with a unique exhibition at Hoopers Gallery, London.

Shot in 1965, the Michael Peto collection features images of John, Paul, George, and Ringo at the time of the filming of Help!, in the studio, taking tea-breaks, at press conferences and at home. Peto’s images possess an unusually natural quality, taken at a time when most official photographs of the band displayed their growing awareness of the power of their image.

Now These Days Are Gone also features examples of Peto’s work as a photojournalist, positioning the lives of The Beatles within the everyday world of the Sixties -- fishmongers, steel workers and dockers -- showing Peto to be one of the outstanding photographers of his generation. With forewords by renowned music journalist Paolo Hewitt and Professor Jim Tomlinson, as well as a timeline comparing world events and key Beatles events throughout 1965, Now These Days Are Gone provides an historical context to Michael Peto’s photographs, and reflects the incredible social and cultural changes which The Beatles came to embody.

With only 2500 copies to be published -- including 350 copies signed by Beatles director Richard Lester -- all handbound to Genesis Publications’ usual high standard, Now These Days Are Gone will be a rare collectors’ item.

To launch this remarkable collection, previously unseen Michael Peto photographs will be showcased in an exhibition at Hoopers Gallery in London from 27th January 2006. The exhibition will provide a rare opportunity to purchase limited edition prints from the collection.

Hoopers Gallery is located at 15 Clerkenwell Close, London EC1 0AA. For more information about the exhibition, the telephone number in London is 0207 490 3908.

Previously unseen: The Beatles at rest
By Ian Herbert
Published: 24 January 2006

The photojournalist Michael Peto, a dyed-in-the-wool socialist, was more interested in capturing coal mines on film than the Beatles as he established his formidable reputation in Britain in the 1960s.

In fact the many rolls he shot of the band relaxing during breaks in filming Help! in 1965 did not even make it to picture editors' desks. They ended up instead in the back room of a university's archives.

The world can now see what the newspapers missed. Three years after Peto's pictures were unexpectedly discovered by archivists at Dundee University, a selection of the best will go on show in London on Thursday, as part of the launch of a book of Peto's Beatles images, entitled Now These Days Are Gone, published by Genesis Publications.

The exhibition at the Hoopers Gallery in Clerkenwell Close is curated by one of Peto's students and protégés and offers a revealing insight into the Beatles' preparations for the 1965 film, including shots from studio sessions, tea-breaks, press conferences and moments spent relaxing at home. "Everyone was clamouring for a piece of them at the time," said the curator, Colin Jones. "But Michael was fairly indifferent. It was a job, satisfying the curiosity of the middle classes who read the newspaper industry's early glossy magazines, which he worked for."

Peto's Beatles images possess an unusually natural quality at a time when most official photographs of the band reveal a group that were becoming increasingly self-conscious in projecting their image.

Peto produced nearly 200,000 negatives and prints, including 500 photographs of the Beatles, and after his death in 1970 130,000 items were bequeathed to Dundee by his stepson Michael Fodor, who was a student there.

По сведениям km.ru и газеты "жызнь", на эту выставку были приглашены В.В Путин и С. Иванов, но они вежливо отказались...

В Великобритании нашли неизвестные фотографии членов группы «Beatles»
[27 января 2006, 11:31]

Их нашли среди 130-ти тысяч других в коллекции фотографа Майкла Пето. Выставка фотографий в эти дни проходит в Лондоне.

400 снимков битлов были сделаны во время съемок фильма «Help» в 65-ом году минувшего века.

На фото звезды расслаблены, в повседневной одежде, улыбающиеся. На некоторых музыканты даже курят марихуану – наркотик, который они только что для себя открыли.

Автор фотографий Майкл Пето умер в 70-ом году, и с того времени о них забыли. Нашли их только теперь, организовывая выставку в честь фотографа.

LONDON - A real treat for Beatles' fans. Some newly-discovered photos of the "Fab Four" have just gone on display in London.

Most of the pictures were taken during the filming of the movie "Help" in 1965. They were taken by photographer Michael Peto.
Peto passed away in 1970.

The pictures were in storage... and only recently surfaced. The entire Peto Collection includes 130,000 images. Four hundred of those are Beatles pictures.
