Rare unauthorized ‘pirate’ copy of Introducing the Beatles album signed on the front cover in red ballpoint by John Lennon. The record is not included. In very good to fine condition, with the usual ring wear commensurate with age and somewhat indistinct contrast to second half of “Lennon” against Ringo’s jacket. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo who states that the signature was acquired during the weekend of May 16–18, 1975, at the WFIL Helping Hands Marathon. Lennon, who at that point hadn’t made a public appearance in years, took a train from New York to Philadelphia to help out with the 1975 charity radiothon, spending hours on the air, answering phones, signing autographs, and personally meeting nearly 2,000 fans who flocked to see him. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
