| | 1964 was an eventful year –I was a Senior in the College of Chemical Engineering and tackling the major subjects of Thermodynamics, advance mathematics, etc. and most important was in a serious steady relationship with a classmate. Also a half-century ago, humans were making strides toward space travel beyond the Earth's orbit, and Tokyo hosted the 18th Summer Olympics. The Beatles took America by storm, as Race Riots gripped big cities -- and the the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law. Boxer Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali and the heavyweight champion of the world. Cyprus devolved into civil war between Turks and Greeks, and President Lyndon Johnson escalated U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Later entries will feature images from civil rights struggles in the U.S., Beatlemania, Alaska's Good Friday earthquake, and the New York World's Fair.

(AP Photo/Jack Kanthal) | | At the start of 1964, the Beatles were at the top of the charts in the UK, but had just started to attract audiences overseas with songs from their first two albums Please Please Me and With the Beatles. Radio airplay and a broad marketing campaign in the U.S. quickly drove huge record sales and enormous enthusiasm among new fans -- the band and their sound were something new and exciting, and they were coming to America. John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and George Harrison set off on a series of tours in 1964, starting in Europe, later visiting the United States, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. Beatles fans were so excited and determined to see the band that police sometimes resorted to using fire hoses to hold them back. Their first televised concert in the U.S. was on the Ed Sullivan Show, on February 9, 1964. 73 million viewers watched that performance -- 34 percent of the American population. Below are images of the Beatles' big year, in roughly chronological order, as the world discovered Beatlemania. This is the third of five entries focusing on events of the year 1964 this week (and next Monday). Later entries will feature images from Alaska's Good Friday earthquake and the New York World's Fair. | Rare pictures showing three of the four Beatles on holiday before Beatlemania took hold have emerged for sale and serve as a 'time capsule' before they shot to super stardom. The colour photographs of a youthful looking Paul, George and Ringo, were captured in Tenerife by Astrid Kirchherr - who's fiancee and 'fifth Beatle' Stuart Sutcliffe had tragically died a year before. In April 1963 the band's manager, Brian Epstein, told them to take a holiday after a tough year of recording, touring and recovering from Sutcliffe's death. Scroll down for video

+12 Casually unaware: Paul, 20, sports a plaster on his nose to protect against the harsh sun while photographer Astrid Kirchherr and George look cool for the camera 
+12 Close: One image shows Kirchherr canoodling with George who wears a dress shirt and swimming shorts 
+12 Nothing to see here: In one picture a sunbather is seen strolling past without batting an eyelid at the musicians who had experienced their first number one hit with 'Love Me Do', six months earlier 
The band that made her name: Kirchherr is still the photographer most readily associated with the Beatles, according to Eric Bradley, of Heritage Auctions in Dallas Beatles for sale: Rare Beatles footage from 1964 tour (related) 
Taken on the first anniversary of his death, Paul and George are seen wearing formal, long-sleeve shirts over skimpy swimming shorts as they relax by the seaside while smoking cigarettes. One image shows Kirchherr canoodling with George while in another Paul, 20, wears a plaster on his nose to protect it from the sun. Despite having already tasted success with their number one hit 'Love Me Do' six months earlier, the band were relatively unknown at this time. In one picture a sunbather is seen strolling past without even batting an eyelid at the musicians. John Lennon was also on holiday at the same time, but chose to go to Spain with Epstein. The holiday came just weeks before 'Beatlemania' took off in the UK following the band's second number one song 'From Me to You' in May 1963.

Back to back: Paul and Ringo take a seat and pose for a picture beside the pool in Tenerife 
The Beatles were very popular in Germany during their early days and Kirchherr became friendly with them, in particular Sutcliffe who died of a brain haemorrhage. Mr Bradley said: 'It is not an understatement to say that Astrid Kirchherr is still the photographer most readily associated with the Beatles - not just because of the powerful images of the group. 'Sutcliffe, influenced by Kirchherr, was the first Beatle to adopt the 'moptop' haircut.' Kirchherr took the photos with her portable Rolleicord camera. Each print is signed by her and numbered 11/100. The 11 prints, that measure 11.5ins by 8ins, are being sold by a private collector. They are expected to sell for £6,000 when they are offered for auction on Friday. Mr Bradley said: 'We are not aware of any other Tenerife '63 portfolio having been offered at auction, ever. | |  The Beatles leave London airport in 1964.
