Six vintage glossy photos, 12 x 9.5 and 9.5 x 12, printed from the original negatives, documenting the September 4, 1962, studio session that produced the group’s first Parlophone Records single release, ‘Love Me Do.’ The historic session at London’s EMI (Abbey Road) Studios was captured through the lens of the man regarded as The Beatles’ favorite photographer, the legendary Dezo Hoffman. These particular photographs were taken during the three-hour session in Studio 3. The two photographs of the group posing with their instruments in the foreground were used to promote The Beatles’ Parlophone Records debut in the music trade papers and also as fan club publicity cards. Upon close inspection, one can detect George Harrison’s black eye in the series of photos; the shiner given to George by a Pete Best fan during Ringo’s debut at the Cavern on August 19. In fine condition, with some light rubbing to one of the group shots, and a light finger print smudge to the top border of each image.
