The Beatles Band-Signed Magazine Spread....

Description

The Beatles Band-Signed Magazine Spread. A detached center-page spread from the Meet the Beatles magazine of 1963, signed by John, Paul, George and Ringo in black ink next to their respective images. The 14" x 9.5" b&w image, by photographer Dezo Hoffman, features the Fab Four in their trademark collarless suits, and signed photos of the Beatles in said attire are very rare. The photo was signed in December 1963, mere weeks before the band embarked on their historic tour of the United States. Items autographed by the band after 1963 are difficult to find, and, after 1969, extremely scarce. (After the band stopped doing live concerts in 1966, they came together as a group mostly just for recording sessions, and that only until production concluded on Abbey Road in August 1969.) In Very Fine condition with some toning and a mild crease down the center that does not affect any of the large, bold autographs. Accompanied by LOAs from Frank Caiazzo, Perry Cox, and PSA/DNA.
