Description

“A new show for Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas using Beatle tracks”

Prominent British producer and arranger (born 1926) best known for his influential leading role in the production of nearly all of the Beatles’ records. TLS, one page, 8.25 x 11.5, personal letterhead, February 12, 2007. Martin writes to Jordan John Earnshaw in Sheffield. In part: “I am so sorry to have taken all this time to reply to your letter … requesting biographical information, photographs, signed pieces, etc. which you hoped might be ‘lying around’ that would become useful to you for your school project…. In any event I would not have been able to help you except to send you the enclosed biographical information and signed photograph. I also have to tell you that all my treasured memorabilia from my career has long ago been auctioned for charity and anything new that I have, also goes to raise funds for my various charities, mostly notably for the Sir George Martin Music Foundation…. I have been very busy for the past eighteen months working with my son Giles on a new show for Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas using Beatle tracks, which has also resulted in a new CD called ‘Love’ released before Christmas….” Accompanied by an unsigned copy of the biography Martin mentions in the letter. Light handling wear and mailing fold through signature, otherwise fine condition. JSA/Roger Epperson (REAL) Auction LOA and RRAuction COA.
