Vintage red ballpoint signatures, "John Lennon," "George Harrison," and "Ringo Starr," and a blue ballpoint signature, "Beatles Paul McCartney," on an off-white 5.75 x 4.5 album page, also signed by Bruce Channel. In fine condition, with an old tape stain along the left edge, easily matted out.
At the height of his fame around 1962, Bruce Channel toured Britain and was once supported by the Beatles, who hadn't released a record yet and were still relatively unknown. Channel had a 1962 hit with 'Hey Baby,' featuring harmonica accompaniment by Delbert McClinton. John Lennon was especially intrigued by McClinton's harmonica style and several of the Beatles' early hits would feature Lennon's own harmonica play, unmistakably inspired by McClinton. The Beatles and Channel played together only a couple of times, making this quite an uncommon combination.
