Vintage glossy 6 x 7.75 Starpics promotional photo of the Beatles wearing matching suits and posing with their instruments, signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, "Paul McCartney, xxx," and in blue fountain pen, "Ringo Starr, xxx," "John Lennon, xxx," and "George Harrison, xxx." In fine condition, with a very light bend across the bottom. Months before Beatlemania swept across the United States with the band's legendary performance on the Ed Sullivan Show, the Fab Four traveled to Sweden for a five-concert tour that showcased an edgier side of the Beatles, injecting standard rhythm and blues with a frenetic punk pace and attitude. Their television appearance on Drop In and subsequent seven-song set at Stockholm's Karlaplansstudion secured their status among Swedish audiences. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, which reads: "This photo was signed by The Beatles on October 30, 1963, while they were in Stockholm, Sweden performing a segment which was filmed for a popular television show there called 'Drop In.'"
