E.2101.1-1992
This was the first Beatles LP. It stayed at number one
of the charts for 33 weeks. It was also released in the
U.S.A.; it thus provides an early example of the flow
of British culture to America. Theatre photographer
McBean's arresting framing of the Beatles in the EMI
stairwell is seen again on later albums. |
