Beatles - Musical Memorabilia, Beatles  A Hard Day's Night  Display Poster for the Los Angeles H
Beatles - Musical Memorabilia, Beatles "A Hard Day's Night" Display Poster for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner (1964). In the Summer of 1964, the biggest show business phenomena in history was raging. Beatlemania had swept throughout the North American continent and was now covering the world. This special advertising banner was placed only in newspaper dispensers to promote the August 23, 1964 issue of the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner featuring excerpts from the story of the Beatles' movie, "A Hard Day's Night." The card was designed to be placed in or below a stack of Sunday Herald Examiners that day because that was the day that excerpts from the story line of the Beatles movie, "A Hard Day's Night" were to be printed in the paper. The movie had just premiered in the United States on August 11 that year, and the now-defunct Los Angeles Herald Examiner was promoting the movie which had taken the nation by storm. It opened to stellar reviews and sold-out performances virtually everywhere it opened. This type of promotional card was designed for use in the newspaper -- for one day only -- and then to be thrown away. This merchandising card came from the collection of a young woman, who began collecting Beatles memorabilia in 1963. She saved virtually everything with the Beatles name or image on it. She probably asked to keep this display card on the day the newspaper was published, which would explain its presence in her collection when it was sold. This display card/poster has never been catalogued or listed in any price guide. It is highly likely this is the first time this merchandising card has ever been offered for sale. Approximately size 14" X 14". ***** 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. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
