It could be just another Facebook vacation-photo album: a bunch of 20-something guys draped over a few beach chairs, knocking back some fruity-looking drinks and clowning for the camera. The captions could read “Spring Break ‘09.” Instead, some of the photos could carry price tags with strings of zeros.

This isn’t a posse of frat brothers: they’re the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, horsing around on vacation, on tour and backstage, as seen in a recently discovered cache of 3,500 photos, 48 of which will be shown starting March 4 at the Not Fade Away gallery in New York’s Chelsea. The rare, extremely valuable find comes from the personal collection of the late Bob Bonis, a small-time talent agent who got lucky and landed gigs managing the stateside tours of the two bands from 1964 to 1966.
