Bold vintage ballpoint signatures and inscription, "To Susan, Paul McCartney, (Beatles)" and "John Lennon,” on a blue 4.5 x 3.75 album page bearing affixed headshot portraits of the pair. In fine condition, with a faint stain touching Paul's first name and inscription.
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a detailed letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: "It was May 1963 and I was a fifteen year old schoolgirl at the time, and although the Beatles were still quite new on the scene, I was already a huge fan, with posters covering my bedroom walls. Myself and a few friends had decided to play truant from school as they were playing at the Nottingham Odeon that night. We hadn't managed to get tickets for the show, but were determined to try and catch them as they arrived at the cinema…There was only about a dozen of us, and we waited all day, hardly daring to move from the spot, until they finally arrived after six hours of waiting on which I seem to remember as a pretty cold day for May! They rushed into the foyer, which was pitch black, and I only managed to get John Lennon's autograph…We then went up the alleyway at the side of the cinema, calling their names up to the window, and after a while Paul McCartney came out and stood chatting to us for about 20 minutes, asking us our names, talking about what we liked or disliked about school, laughing and joking with us, and I got his autograph."
