Brilliant full set of ballpoint signatures of the Beatles—“All the best! The Beatles, Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” “John Lennon,” and “Ringo Starr”—on the inside front cover of a Breda Studios photograph display folder, measuring 15.15 x 6.25 open, featuring on the adjacent side a vintage matte-finish 6.5 x 4.5 photo of the Beatles posing with Gerry Marsden, who has also added his autograph to the folder. The consignor notes that the photograph was taken in May 1963 and, as the photographic studio was based in Essex, the date indicates that the signatures were likely signed at a Beatles and Gerry and the Pacemakers concert on either May 24, 1963, at the Granada Theatre in Walthamstow, or on May 31, 1963, at the Odeon Theatre in Southend. In very fine condition. The item derives from the estate of David Brook, who owned a mobile disco in Essex and has strong connections in the music industry in the 1960s. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. A superb display offering that boasts a handsome set of large, well-formed, and nicely spaced Beatles autographs.
