Vintage circa early 1963 blue ballpoint signatures, "George Harrison," "Ringo Starr," and "Paul McCartney (Beatles)," and a red ballpoint signature, "John Lennon," on an off-white 5 x 8 sheet, which is also signed by Helen Shapiro and Kenny Lynch. In very good to fine condition, with light creasing and intersecting folds. Accompanied by a letter of provenance: "This is a set of Beatles autographs that my uncle got for me in February 1963 when the group played at the Granada cinema/theatre in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The Beatles were on a UK tour with Helen Shapiro. My uncle did a lot of work with the Granada and was backstage at this event. He brought home the autographs as a special present for me." Consignor notes that the autographs were obtained at the Granada Cinema in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England on February 23, 1963, the opening night of the second leg of the Helen Shapiro UK tour, which featured both the Beatles and Kenny Lynch as supporting acts. Before going on stage, the Beatles crowded into Helen’s dressing room to watch their latest appearance on ‘Thank Your Lucky Stars,’ which they had taped the previous Sunday. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.
