As
the 1960s began its transformation into an era of psychedelia, free
love and unbridled idealism, two of the greatest acts of musical
history, The Beatles and Bob Dylan, underwent their own defining
periods of change.

our names are anagrams of each other people thought that I

Photographers
Paul Saltzman and Elliott Landy were on hand to record
intimate moments in the lives of these legendary musicians.
Landy's
unique images - often miscredited in the past due to his name being
an anagram of 'Dylan' - date from 1968 and capture Dylan the musician
and the family man, as well as the iconic country n western transformation
behind 'Nashville Skyline'.
SaltzmanÂ’s
photographs, previously unpublished in the UK, chronicle The Beatles'
time at the ashram in Rishikesh, India during 1968.
Bizarrely,
Saltzman had come to the ashram to learn meditation to heal a broken
heart, unaware that the Beatles would be there. After camping outside
the gates for over a week he was finally allowed inside!
