Ideal vintage circa late-1963 uninscribed bold ballpoint signatures of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr on two separate 4 x 3 album pages. Both are handsomely cloth-matted and framed with an image of the Beatles to an overall size of 17.75 x 14.75. In fine to very fine condition.
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a detailed letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: "In 1963 my husband…won a competition held by the Scottish Express newspaper to go and see the 'Beatles' perform in concert in the Caird Hall Dundee on the 7th of October 1963 along with another boy and two girls and afterward they went backstage to meet them…Backstage the 'Beatles' signed autographs and posed for pictures, Ringo was the chattiest." This concert concluded the Beatles' Autumn 1963 Scotland Mini-Tour, the last of three performances in the country. On the following Sunday, October 13, 1963, the Beatles appeared on the UK's top variety show, Sunday Night at The London Palladium. Observing the screaming fans inside and outside the venue, the next morning's Daily Mirror described the mass hysteria in a single word that would soon be adopted into the worldwide cultural lexicon—Beatlemania.
