Vintage glossy 3.25 x 3.25 candid photo of McCartney on television performing with the Beatles, signed in blue ballpoint. Photo is affixed to an 8.5 x 6 scrapbook page, along with an unsigned glossy candid of George Harrison, presumably from the same performance. In very good condition, with trimmed top edge, tape toning to one vertical edge, with some surface loss to other vertical edge, and some slight toning from adhesive on reverse. Accompanied by a photocopy of a McCartney ALS, undated but written from his house at 20 Forthlin Road in Liverpool, to the scrapbook’s owner, which reads, in part: “I’ve heard that your photograph album was left at our house to be signed and you haven’t seen it for years or something. Well, at the moment, the house is chaos, but if you can wait a bit longer, I’ll have a thorough search, and when it turns up, I’ll give it to Di.” Now marked a historic site, McCartney’s childhood home at Forthlin Road is often referred to as the ‘birthplace of the Beatles,’ since it was there that they composed and rehearsed some of their earliest songs, including ‘She Loves You.’ An excellent pairing of unique and early images.
