Two signed Introducing the Beatles albums: an uncommon and desirable unauthorized ‘pirate’ copy of the history-making release, rapidly signed on the front cover in red ballpoint by John Lennon. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Frank Caiazzo, who states that the signature was acquired during the weekend of May 16–18, 1975, at the WFIl Helping Hands Marathon. Lennon, who at that point hadn’t made a public appearance in years, took a train from New York to Philadelphia to help out with the 1975 charity radiothon, spending hours on the air, answering phones, signing autographs, and personally meeting nearly 2,000 fans who flocked to see him. In very good to fine condition, with the usual ring wear commensurate with age and somewhat indistinct contrast to second half of “Lennon” against Ringo’s jacket. The record is not included.
And a VJ LP release of Introducing The Beatles, signed vertically in black felt tip by Paul McCartney. A working personnel backstage pass from McCartney’s 1993 World Tour is affixed to the lower right corner. Matted to an overall size of 16 x 16. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo stating “This signature is large, bold and overall is an excellent example from the period. The autograph was obtained on May 5, 1993 when McCartney performed at Riverside Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.” In very good condition, with aforementioned pass affixed, horizontal creases, one passing through a small portion of signature, and other scattered surface creases and impressions. Two nice single-signed examples.
