MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – An exhibition of photographs of the Beatles is coming to Memphis, the home of Elvis Presley and the birthplace of the blues.

The photos will be on display at the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum beginning Friday through Sept. 11.

According to The Memphis Daily News, the 36 photos were taken by Paul Beriff in 1963 and 1964. They chronicle the band’s meteoric rise as part of “Beatlemania” and the close friendship among the four.

The exhibit coincides with the 45th anniversary the Beatles’ two shows in Memphis in 1966.
