DESCRIPTION 8" X 4¼" WHITE MAILING ENVELOPE, AUTOGRAPHED ON THE FRONT BY THE BEATLES. 1965 WAS A CURIOUS YEAR FOR THE BEATLES, ONE IN WHICH THEY CONSOLIDATED ALL THE SUCCESSES AND EXCESSES OF 1964 BY VIRTUALLY REPEATING EVERYTHING ALREADY ACHIEVED. THEY MADE A SECOND FEATURE FILM "HELP!", THEY TOURED NORTH AMERICA AGAIN, WHERE BEATLEMANIA CONTINUED TO RAGE ON AN UNPARALLELED SCALE, AND THEN THEY TOURED BRITAIN AGAIN, THOUGH ONLY BRIEFLY. JOHN EVEN HAD A SECOND BOOK PUBLISHED. THEY WERE NOW MORE SUCCESSFUL, POPULAR AND FAMOUS THAN ANY OTHER GROUP OR SINGER HAD EVER BEEN, BIGGER THAN EVEN ELVIS. LET THE WORLD COME TO THEM, AND LET THEM DECIDE IF THE OFFER WAS OR WASN'T SUITABLE - AND USUALLY IT WASN'T. BUT IT WAS A TRANSITIONAL YEAR, TOO, WITH AN IMPORTANT SHIFT IN ATTITUDE. AS THE BEATLES BECAME EVER MORE SUFFOCATED BY THE ADULATION AROUND THEM THEY BEGAN TO CONCENTRATE ON PLEASING THEMSELVES RATHER THAN PLEASING THE PUBLIC. THE MOST OBVIOUS RESULT OF THIS DIRECTIONAL SWITCH WAS A SIGNIFICANT LEAP FORWARD IN THEIR ALWAYS INNOVATIVE RECORDINGS, CULMINATING THIS YEAR WITH THE ALBUM "RUBBER SOUL", WHICH WAS LYRICALLY AND INSTRUMENTALLY THE GROUP'S MOST AMBITIOUS PROJECT TO DATE. THEY REALIZED, TOO, THAT TOURING WAS UNLIKELY EVER TO RETURN TO THE SANITY OF PRE-1963, WHEN THEY COULD ENJOY A PERFORMANCE AS MUCH AS THEIR AUDIENCE. THE BEATLES BEGAN TO HANKER FOR THOSE DAYS OF LUNCHTIME CAVERN CLUB SESSIONS, WHERE THEIR MUSICIANSHIP COULD PROGRESS AND NOT BE STIFLED BY ENVELOPING SCREAMS, WHERE NO ONE WOULD MAKE A GRAB FOR THEM, EXCEPT TO THRUST FORWARD A PIECE OF PAPER CARRYING A SONG REQUEST, RATHER THAN AN AUTOGRAPH REQUEST. OFFERED HERE IS THE FRONT OF AN 8" X 4¼" WHITE ENVELOPE AUTOGRAPHED CIRCA MID TO LATE 1965 BY THE BEATLES. IT IS A MOST MARVELOUS, LARGE, VERY WELL SPACED, AND EXTREMELY BOLD SET SIGNED IN BLUE BALLPOINT PEN. ONE DOES NOT OFTEN SEE SIGNATURES FROM THIS PERIOD - A VERY DIFFICULT TIME TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE BEATLES. THIS GREAT SET OF 1965 AUTOGRAPHS HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY FRAMED IN 2" BLACK WOOD, AND MATTED IN DEEP DARK FOREST GREEN WITH THE SAME COLOR FLOORING. WITH OVERALL DIMENSIONS OF 25" X 19", THE SIGNED ENVELOPE IS FEATURED WITH A HIGH QUALITY LITHOGRAPH OF THE LP ALBUM COVER OF "RUBBER SOUL", RELEASED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM ON DECEMBER 3, 1965. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INTEGRITY OF THE SIGNED ENVELOPE HAS BEEN RESPECTED AND IS FULLY EXPOSED WITHOUT MATTING CUTTING OFF THE EDGES. TRANSPARENT PHOTOGRAPH CORNER HOLDERS ARE UTILIZED TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. THIS ALBUM DISPLAYED THE GROUP'S NEW ESCAPE AND FUTURE DIRECTION. THE BEATLES BEGAN TO INVEST ALL OF THE ENERGY THEY ONCE DEVOTED TO DAILY LIVE PERFORMANCES INTO MAKING BETTER MUSIC AND EXPERIMENTATION WITH SOUND. ACCOMPANIED BY LIFETIME LETTERS OF AUTHENTICITY FROM FRANK CAIAZZO & FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES.
