Rolling Stones 1964 Royal Albert Hall Autograph Album with (10) Signatures Vintage autograph album, 5.25 x 3.5, containing 10 Rolling Stones signatures across five pages, obtained at the Royal Albert Hall on April 27, 1964. The first page is signed and inscribed in red ballpoint by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger; the second is signed by Charlie Watts; the third is signed by Brian Jones, Richards, and Jagger; the fourth is signed by Jones and twice by Bill Wyman; and the fifth is signed by Jones. Many of the signatures are inscribed to “Avis.” Each page bears a collector’s notation indicating that the signatures were obtained at the Royal Albert Hall on April 27, 1964. The album also contains signatures of compere Alan Freeman and members of Gerry and The Pacemakers, The Caravelles, and The Searchers. The Rolling Stones' April 27, 1964 appearance at the Royal Albert Hall was recorded for 'Top Beat,' a new BBC2 program hosted by Alan 'Fluff' Freeman, with the Rolling Stones sharing the bill with Gerry and The Pacemakers and The Searchers; this was a separate engagement from the NME Poll Winners Concert, held the previous day at Wembley's Empire Pool. Two shows were recorded at the Royal Albert Hall that day, a BBC Light radio broadcast in the afternoon and the BBC2 television taping in the evening. The appearance came just 10 days after the UK release of the band's self-titled debut album on April 17, 1964, during the early stretch of the Stones' rise from London club act to national television regulars.
