Description

Large format 1963 Parlophone promo card signed by John and Paul, with Neil Aspinall signing for bandmates George and Ringo

Vintage 7.5 x 5 Parlophone Records large format promo card for “The Beatles” issued in March 1963, boldly signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, "John Lennon" and "Paul McCartney," with the band’s assistant, Neil Aspinall, signing on behalf of Ringo Starr and George Harrison. In very good condition, with light soiling and creasing, a couple of removed collector notations, and some surface loss to the borders of the image side.

Early on, Parlophone Records produced a small number of promotional photocards in two formats (horizontal and vertical), both with pictures shot by Dezo Hoffman while the Beatles were in the studio. Examples of these were typically signed on the reverse because there was very little light area on the front of the cards for the Fab Four to place their signatures. Parlophone's second and final issue card, featuring a portrait taken by Angus McBean at EMI on January 21, 1963, was introduced in March and came in two sizes: small (5.75 x 3.75) and large (7.5 x 5).
