I remember reading this advertisement for a non-English Beatles book title, The Beatles in Copenhagen, a while back:
“About 50 b/w photos from The Fab Four’s two concerts on June 4th. 1964 have emerged. The photos were taken by the Danish photojournalist Knud Ørsted at KB-hallen in Copenhagen, Denmark. The historic photos will be featured in a new book entitled “Beatles i København – 4.6.64” (Beatles in Copenhagen – 6.4.64), which will be published by Strandberg Publishing on November 7th. The book is in Danish only, but the pictures are absolutely amazing!“
Found a link to the book on the Danish Amazon site:
The Beatles in Copenhagen 4.6.64 : Knud Orsted, Strandberg Publishing: Amazon.de: Books
As you can see, I now have a copy of this wonderful book in my collection signed by the author/photographer. When the book was sent to me, it included an 8 page insert in English that helped to explain to me the background of the creation of the book that discussed the concerts that began the Beatles 1964 World Tour. It also dealt with a topic that I have always been fascinated with, the 13 days that Jimmie Nicol substituted for Ringo Starr due to Ringo’s short-term illness. Even if you can not read or understand Danish, you will enjoy the photographs in this wonderful book!
A picture is certainly worth more than a thousand words! That is not a cliche…
