Photos of Beatles and Rolling Stones go on show

Innocents abroad. These youthful images of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones come from an exhibition of previously unpublished photographs, which opens in New York today.

The photographs were taken by Bob Bonis, American tour manager for both groups during the mid-Sixties in which they spearheaded the "British invasion" of the US.

The collection, The British Are Coming, is the first exhibition at the Not Fade Away Gallery in Manhattan's Chelsea.

Larry Marion, director of the gallery, said he believed the collection was ''the largest single trove of such important unknown photographs ever uncovered".
