A long-lost cinefilm of the Beatles that was uncovered in November last year has fetched just under $2,200 at auction. Amateur photographer David Poole, 67, had filmed the Fab Four as they arrived at London’s Heathrow Airport in the 1960s. Forty years later, he re-discovered the film, which was somewhat faded, and decided to sell it at Christies.
Alan J. Porter has been a Beatles fan since he first saw them perform on a regional British TV show back in 1963 when he was just a wee lad. He is the author of the critically acclaimed BEFORE THEY WERE BEATLES and occasional contributor to Beatlology Magazine. He now lives in Central Texas and occasionally writes about things other than The Fab Four. You can find out more here.
