The Beatles Harmonica Press Sheet & Licensing Letters
1964. The two-page press statement announces Hohner’s release of the $2.98 “blister pack” that includes a harmonica, basic instruction chart and photographs of the Beatles and their signatures. Hohner exalts the surge in popularity of the harmonica since its appearance on “two of the Beatles’ top song hits, ‘Please Please Me’ and “Little Child”...sparked by John Lennon...who has long played the harmonica...” The two duplicate press releases are tri-folded for mailing. Also included are licensing inquiries to Budd Productions from four companies wishing to jump on the Beatles merchandising bandwagon. Among the inquiries are two from Vari-Vue Animations (dated February 5 and May 15 ‘64), the company responsible for the Beatles flasher buttons and rings. All items are from the Budd Hellawell collection. Overall VG.
