A rare early autograph group from all the “Fab Four” members and inscribed “lots of love from The Beatles” will be sold at The Grantham Auction Rooms on Wednesday (March 6).
The autographs were obtained early in 1963 when the group had just recorded their first album.
They were one of several bands who played a gig in Nottingham at the Elizabethan Rooms on March 7, 1963. The compere for the evening obtained the Fab Four’s signatures in their dressing room.
Resident valuer and auctioneer, Luke Handley, said: “Considering their career together spanned less than a decade, the legacy left behind by The Beatles is considerable.
“Their influence on popular culture, fashion and style has no equal, even now, fifty years later and cannot be underestimated.”
The autographs are framed glazed and mounted with the script: “Elizabethan rooms, Nottingham, March 7 1963, show compered by Keith Gordon. Supporting acts on the night, Jerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas, and The Big Three.”
