Original vintage 5.75 x 3.5 Parlophone Records promotional card, with an image of the neatly-dressed band on the front. Signed on the reverse in black fountain pen, “Paul McCartney,” in blue fountain pen, “John Lennon,” in blue ballpoint, “George Harrison,” and in black ballpoint “Ringo Starr.” In very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling to both sides, with a block of toning lightly affecting Lennon’s and Starr’s signatures, a few spots of damp staining, and some creasing to left edge. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient which reads, in part: “We were in the West End, on the scooter and parked in a bay opposite Broadcasting house in Portland Place. We saw standing outside the BBC the four members of the Beatles. A van pulled up and the [sic] loaded equipment into it and then they got into a van and it drove off. We followed on the scooter, and caught the van up and stopped alongside it at some lights in High Holborn. I spoke to Paul McCartney who was leaning out the window with a rose in his mouth. I asked him if they were going to release an LP. Paul McCartney said their first LP called ‘Please Please Me’ was coming out shortly. Before the van moved away I was given by Paul McCartney, a Parlophone post card with the four autographs on the rear…I am reasonably confident that the date I met them would have been 16th March 1963.”
