DS, one page both sides, 8 x 13, October 15, 1968. An original Memorandum of Agreement between Maclen (Music) Limited, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and Northern Songs Limited for royalties related to the Beatles song ‘Cry Baby Cry,’ which appeared on the group’s 1968 self-titled album, otherwise known as the ‘White Album.’ Signed at the conclusion in black felt tip by John Lennon, and countersigned in black ballpoint by Neil Aspinall. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. Demos indicate that Lennon composed the song in late 1967, with Lennon later describing to biographer Hunter Davies that he got the words from an advertisement. Some of the lyrics of the song are loosely based on the nursery rhyme ‘Sing a Song of Sixpence.'
