Pair of ballpoint signatures, “To Marilyn, with love from, Paul McCartney” and “Peter Asher,” on individual off-white 9.25 x 5.75 lightly-lined pages removed from a musician’s book. In overall fine condition, with a central horizontal fold. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the wife of the original recipient, in part: “I got Paul McCartney’s autograph many years ago. My late husband playing in Black Dyke Mills Band, who were asked to provide brass backing on ‘Yellow Submarine,’ The Beatles came up to Yorkshire to record with Black Dyke. I was there and had a great time, lots of laughing & fooling around with the lads, I even played a couple of notes on my cornet—but couldn’t record because at that time women were not allowed to play in the band at that time, in the late 60s.” The signatures were obtained in Saltaire, Yorkshire, England on June 30, 1968, when Paul McCartney traveled there with Peter Asher, Derek Taylor, and Tony Bramwell to record the brass section for ‘Yellow Submarine’ and also ‘Thingumybob,’ songs that would soon be released as an Apple Records single on September 6, 1968. Pre-certified REAL.
