The Beatles in the studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London)
The Beatles in the studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). That morning, during a photo session, Ringo Starr had become seriously ill and had to be hospitalized. Since The Beatles were scheduled to leave on a world tour the very next morning, it was too late to cancel the tour. Brian Epstein and George Martin arranged for a temporary drummer to take Ring Starrs place for the first part of the tour, and the drummer selected was Jimmy Nicol, someone who they knew to be talented but who was unknown enough not to be mistaken as a permanent replacement for Ringo. On the spur of a last-minute phone call from George Martin, Nicol rushed over to EMI Studios, where he and The Beatles ran through six songs from their tour repertoire in a quick rehearsal (" I Want to Hold Your Hand", " She Loves You", " I Saw Her Standing There", " This Boy", " Can t Buy Me Love", and " Long Tall Sally" ). Just 27 hours later, drummer Jimmie Nicol was performing live with The Beatles in Copenhagen, Denmark. Picture shows left to right: Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Jimmy Nicol and George Harrison. June 3, 1964. (correct spelling of Jimmy Nicol is Jimmie Nicol)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in The Beatles' history. Taken on June 3,1964, at Studio Two in EMI Studios, London, it showcases the iconic band with an unexpected addition. That morning marked a turning point as Ringo Starr fell seriously ill during a photo session and had to be hospitalized. With their world tour scheduled to commence the following day, canceling was not an option. Brian Epstein and George Martin swiftly arranged for a temporary replacement drummer: Jimmy Nicol. Although talented, Nicol's relative obscurity ensured he wouldn't be mistaken as a permanent replacement for Ringo. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison alongside Jimmy Nicol – the man entrusted with filling Ringo's shoes temporarily. In just 27 hours after that impromptu phone call from George Martin, Jimmie Nicol found himself performing live with The Beatles in Copenhagen, Denmark. The image serves as a reminder of the band's resilience and adaptability during challenging times. Despite facing uncertainty due to illness within their ranks, they pressed forward with determination and professionalism. This historic photograph is not only visually striking but also encapsulates an extraordinary chapter in The Beatles' legacy – one where music triumphed over adversity.
