DESCRIPTION
5" X 3½" LIGHT TAN AUTOGRAPH ALBUM PAGE SIGNED BY THE BEATLES. AUTOGRAPHED CIRCA LATE 1964 IF 1963 HAD BEEN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE BEATLES CONQUERED BRITAIN, THEN IN 1964 THEY CONQUERED THE WORLD. THROUGHOUT 1964 THE PACE OF THE BEATLES' WORK WAS AWESOME : THEIR FIRST HISTORIC U.S. VISIT, FILMING "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT", COMPOSING, RECORDING, PRESS INTERVIEWS, LIVE CONCERTS, RADIO AND TV APPEARANCES. YET, NEVER WAS THE QUALITY SHOWN TO SUFFER. IT HAD BEEN QUITE A YEAR INDEED. THE TUMULTUOUS YEAR OF 1964 ENDED WITH THE BEATLES ATOP THE WORLDWIDE SINGLE CHARTS WITH "I FEEL FINE" AND AT NUMBER ONE IN THE LP CHARTS WITH YET ANOTHER NEW OFFERING, "BEATLES FOR SALE", SOMEHOW RECORDED IN BETWEEN ONE ACTIVITY OR ANOTHER. AMIDST THEIR FRENZIED AND RELENTLESS PACE, THIS LIGHT TAN AUTOGRAPH ALBUM PAGE WAS SIGNED IN MATCHING BLUE BALLPOINT PEN BY THE BEATLES CIRCA LATE 1964. THE SIGNATURES ARE WELL PROPORTIONED ON THE 5" X 3½" PAGE, AND ARE ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, COMPLETE AND BOLD EXAMPLES FROM THIS PERIOD. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INTEGRITY OF THE SIGNED PAGE HAS BEEN RESPECTED AND IS FULLY EXPOSED WITHOUT MATTING CUTTING OFF THE EDGES. TRANSPARENT PHOTOGRAPH CORNER HOLDERS ARE UTILIZED TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. WITH OVERALL DIMENSIONS OF 22" X 19½", WINDOWED IN ABOVE THE SIGNED PAGE IS PHOTOGRAPHER ROBERT FREEMAN'S AUTUMNAL, SOFT-FOCUS HIGH-ANGLE SHOT THAT WAS USED FOR THE BACK COVER OF THEIR CHRISTMAS 1964 PARLOPHONE LP RELEASE "BEATLES FOR SALE". THE PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS THE QUARTET NOT AS THE GRINNING PROVINCIAL MOPTOPS, BUT AS RICH, CONFIDENT, STYLISH YOUNG MEN, THEIR FACES CARRYING A HINT OF WEARINESS FROM THE NON-STOP ROUND OF TOURS, LONG HOURS OF STUDIO SESSIONS AND NIGHTS AT THE SCOTCH OF ST. JAMES. FREEMAN CAPTURES THE FAB FOUR AT THEIR MOST INTROSPECTIVE AND MELANCHOLIC TO DATE. THEY LOOK TIRED, ALMOST SURLY AND THE VERY ANTITHESIS OF THE EARLY '60'S POP STAR. COINCIDENTALLY, THE LINE UP IN THE PHOTO FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IS THE SAME ORDER OF WHICH THE BEATLES HAD SIGNED THEIR NAMES ON THE AUTOGRAPH PAGE : PAUL, JOHN, GEORGE AND RINGO. ACCOMPANIED BY LIFETIME LETTERS OF AUTHENTICITY FROM FRANK CAIAZZO & FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES. |
