^Lot 817 Beatles

Original 1965 Beatles North American tour program, 12 x 12, from the band’s second North American tour in August of 1965, signed and inscribed on the front cover in blue ballpoint, “To Chris, love from George Harrison,” “To Chris, love from John Lennon,” “To Chris, Best wishes, Ringo Starr,” and “To Chris, love from Paul McCartney,” each signing over their respective image. In very good condition, with scattered creasing to edges of covers, some light wear and rubbing to covers, expected handling wear, and some dampstaining to left edge, lightly affecting portion of Harrison’s signature and inscription. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo. The Beatles’ second North American tour took place during the height of Beatlemania, with the band playing indoor arenas and outdoor stadiums in 10 cities, including memorable shows at the Hollywood Bowl Shea Stadium. Quite rare for The Beatles to all uniformly sign on the cover, rendering this a spectacular display piece.
