An unseen collection of over 350 teenage photographs of The Beatles', when they first came to America, has been sold for 253,200 pounds at an auction on Merseyside.
According to The Guardian, the pictures clicked by Mike Mitchell show the legendary band's arrival in 1964 for their initial concerts in the US at Washington DC and Baltimore.
A total lot of 413 negatives went under the gavel with copyright for 253,200 pounds by Omega Auctions. Only 46 of these pictures had been seen before at an auction in 2011.
Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, who was knighted this week, were also shown at pre-show press conferences and on stage.
Mitchell, who was 18 at the time, had wanted to click the Fab Four after watching their famous TV performance on the "Ed Sullivan Show" on February 9, 1964.
He said, "I was very motivated to come up with stuff that was as unique as could possibly be."
