Beautiful set of autographs of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Inscription in blue marker, written by George, reads "To Sharron Love From The Beatles" and is signed by all four with first and last names on an autograph book page.
"Sharron" is Sharon (Miller) Olson, Helen Shapiro's cousin, for whom the Beatles had opened for in 1963. This autograph was obtained by Sharon backstage after the Beatles' July 12, 1964 concert in Brighton.
Additionally, this set includes a separate autograph book page with a signature and inscription ("To Sharon With Best Wishes") by Brian Epstein, whom she had met on the plane on her way to England to visit Helen.
And if that wasn't enough, this set also includes an 8" x 10" black and white photo with front signed for each Beatle by road manager and personal assistant Neil Aspinall (the Neil signatures are quite faded).
The back of the photo however is autographed and inscribed ("To Sharon, Lots Of Love, Nice To Have Met You, Paul XXX") by Paul McCartney in blue ink. Included is a photocopy of the photo, but only Paul's autograph on the back is visible in the frame (the Neil set is covered up with the frame's backing paper).
Condition of all autographs is excellent, although each has some light creasing and there is a light stain near the "P" in Paul's signature.
Image sizes are 4.75" x 3.5" for both the Beatles and Epstein autographs and 7.25" x 3.5" for the Paul autograph. All three items are professionally mounted and framed with a mono "With The Beatles" LP cover. Overall size is 22" x 33".
These signatures have been authenticated by Frank Caiazzo, the world's foremost Beatles signature expert (COA available for an extra fee). Includes Rockaway Records Letter of Authenticity.
A very cool piece with a wonderful Beatles history!
