Paul McCartney - 1964: Olhos da Tempestade

Between the end of 1963 and the beginning of 1964, four young men set out on a journey that would mark them forever — and the world — turning them into an international success and changing the course of music history.

Paul McCartney, one of Liverpool’s “Fab Four”, used his 35mm camera to record those days spent in six cities: Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C., and Miami. Drawn from the author’s personal archive, the 275 photographs presented here — many of them published for the first time — reveal the essence of that explosive and magical moment. 1964: Eyes of the Storm also includes a personal foreword in which McCartney recalls the pandemonium of concerts in Britain and the hysteria with which the band was received on its first visit to the United States, as well as Beatleland, an introduction by historian Jill Lepore that describes how the Beatles became the first truly global phenomenon of mass culture. With an elegant design, 1964: Eyes of the Storm creates an intensely dramatic record of the Beatles’ first transatlantic journey, documenting that “abrupt shift in youth, which seems to have crystallised in 1964.”
