8001 - Beatles Rare Signed Album - With the Beatles

Beatles Rare Signed Album - With the Beatles Parlophone UK mono pressing of the Beatles' second album, With the Beatles, signed and inscribed on the back cover in ballpoint, “To Gary, love from the Beatles, Ringo Starr,” “John Lennon,” “Love, Paul McCartney,” and “George Harrison,” who stylizes the initial of his surname as a pair of musical notes. The front and back covers bear ownership notations, one of which is dated to December 1964. The date offers a possible clue to when the signatures were obtained, coinciding with the Beatles’ Another Beatles Christmas Show engagement at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, which opened on December 24, 1964, and continued through January 16, 1965. During December, the group performed there on the 24th, 26th, and 28th through the 31st, presenting a holiday variety show that combined their live set with comedy and theatrical sketches. In very good to fine condition, with scattered spotting and toning, and wear to edges, including creases and surface loss. The record is included. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. Only an estimated 15-20 band-signed copies of With the Beatles are known to exist.
