Beatles Lawsuit Commemorative Award
<B>Beatles Lawsuit Commemorative Award.</B></I> In 1979, the Beatles filed a lawsuit against EMI and Capitol Records, claiming that the two companies had underpaid the band by more than £10.5 million. It was the beginning of a long-running legal battle that wasn't resolved until 1989, with a settlement that granted the band an increased royalty rate and tightened auditing requirements. This special award, presented to Irish entrepreneur Denis O'Brien, commemorates the settlement of the case, and features 13 CDs representing the 12 studios LPs and one EP officially released by the Beatles, matted and framed along with a special plaque to an overall size of 28" x 28". A very rare piece of Beatles memorabilia, in Excellent condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Large (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
