The Beatles by Ken Regan

Photographer: Ken Regan

Location: Central Park, NYC

Edition: Limited

Date: 1964

"Tight security made direct contact with The Beatles all but impossible. But my friend’s dad did tip me off to a secret photo op in Central Park, where The Beatles planned to ride in one of the park’s famous horse-drawn carriages. The media entourage was small, a mere dozen people. We heard that George was sick, so that left John, Ringo, and Paul (who took his own photos) to arrive in a limo at West 67th Street and get in the carriage, with the skyline of Central Park South in the background. Because I had the advantage of additional access thanks to my friend’s dad (the rehearsals, the photo op in the park), Time was impressed enough to give me more assignments going forward."
