I enjoy how it says, “signed, sealed and delivered”

 

Brian Epstein’s personal copy of the first fully-signed agreement between himself and The Beatles goes under the hammer on 4 September at The Fame Bureau’s It’s More Than Rock And Roll memorabilia auction.

Taking place at London’s Idea Generation Gallery, the auction is expected to see the contract fetch £250,000.

Signed by the band on 24 January 1962, Epstein’s signature was added later that year on 1 October once he had fulfilled his promise to secure the band’s first record contract. Parlophone released Love Me Do later that month and the rest is history.

The contract features the signatures of John Winston Lennon, James Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Richard Starkey, with the notable addition of parents Harold Hargreaves Harrison and James McCartney who had to give additional consent on behalf of their respective sons who were under 21 at the time.
