Paul McCartney has proven once again that he is an all-arounder and his talents know no bounds.
The multi-awarded singer-songwriter will release his new book "1964: Eyes of the Storm" on June 13, following The Beatles embarking on their very first transatlantic tour.
The book will give fans and readers a glimpse into what McCartney's life was like touring alongside one of the world's biggest and most legendary bands.
As per the press release, the upcoming book will include "largely unseen photographs [taken by McCartney using a 35mm camera] capture the explosive period, from the end of 1963 through early 1964, in which The Beatles became an international sensation and changed the course of music history."
"1964: Eyes of the Storm"
The book will boast 275 pictures that fans have probably never seen before-especially since the pictures have been taken from McCartney's personal camera and probably lived somewhere in his archives before it was pulled out for this release.
Fans and readers can expect to see pictures of The Beatles going out and about in Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington DC, and Miami.
Of course, it would not be a book without some words from the author himself: McCartney personally penned the foreword, while the introduction was written by Jill Lepore, the preface by Nicholas Cullinan, and finally an essay by Rosie Broadley.
According to Billboard, McCartney's book is already a chart-topper before its release, claiming the No. 1 spot on Amazon's new releases.
The physical copy of "1964: Eyes of the Storm" is priced between $75 to $63.75, depending on where you buy it, while the digital copy is $35.99 on Kindle.
The Beatles Relic
The Beatles was an English rock band formed in 1960; it consisted of the world-famous four: John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and McCartney.
They released songs that have reverberated through time like "Hey Jude," "Love Me Do," "Yellow Submarine," "A Hard Day's Night," and "Help!"
Despite being disbanded for decades, The Beatles remain one of the most iconic staples in a throwback playlist.
"Anyone who rediscovers a personal relic or family treasure is instantly flooded with memories and emotions, which then trigger associations buried in the haze of time," McCartney said in a press release.
"This was exactly my experience in seeing these photos, all taken over an intense three-month period of travel, culminating in February 1964."
