Description

Coveted 1963 Prince of Wales Theatre program signed by Lennon and McCartney

Program for the infamous appearance of the Beatles at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London on November 4, 1963, for a royal variety performance before the Queen Mother, 8.25 x 11.75, signed on the front cover in pencil, “John Lennon” and “Paul McCartney.” In fine condition, with light soiling and handling wear. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and letter of provenance from original recipient, in part: “This letter confirms that I attended the Royal Performance at the Prince of Wales Theatre on 4th November 1963…After the performance I was able to wait by the theatre stage door and managed to obtain signatures by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.” This was the event where Lennon took a jab at the Crown with his famous bit of stage banter: ‘For our last number I'd like to ask your help. The people in the cheaper seats clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you'd just rattle your jewelry.’ Pre-certified REAL.
