Beatles - Music Memorabilia, Beatles "Yellow Submarine" Alternate Mechanical Color Overlay (1968). Mechanicals are the final artwork for a graphic project that is to be reproduced, usually consisting of a light-weight illustration board with all of the camera-ready paste-up artwork (the type, illustrations and photostats) attached in their final positions with the overlays indicating color attached. This set of mechanicals consists of black and white photocopied cels and type elements pasted onto illustration board, with the color overlay taped to it at the top and clearly visible. Approximately 30" X 20". These mechanicals from 1968 for the window card movie poster for "Yellow Submarine" are different from the released version of the poster in that the quote, "It's All In The Mind, Y'know," is mistakenly credited to Paul McCartney, rather than George Harrison. The mistake is noted and corrected on the translucent overlay. This mistake is of some interest given the recent controversy with the crediting of authorship of certain Beatles lyrics. Inside the apple -- to the right -- there is also the statement, "A Dozen Beatles Songs." This mistake is noted and corrected in pencil. The final version of this poster would later read, "Eleven Beatles Songs." The color overlays are rendered by hand. Since this set of mechanicals is obviously a single stage of development to the final version, this is a one of a kind, very rare Beatle artifact. ***** Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder.
