Lyntone Recording 7-inch flexi disc record for the Beatles single ‘Christmas Time (Is Here Again),’ issued by the Official Beatles Fan Club of Great Britain, signed on the back cover in red ballpoint by John Lennon and George Harrison. The consignor notes that the autographs were obtained by Jackie James, area secretary of The Beatles Fan Club for Wiltshire, at the private screening of the 1967 Beatles film Magical Mystery Tour, which took place at the Film and Art Theatre in Hanover Grand, London, England, on December 17, 1967. Includes its original mailing envelope (addressed to Jackie James), two modern photo prints of Lennon and Harrison at the Magical Mystery Tour event with some of the Fan Club secretaries, and a copy of The Beatles Book from February 1968, which contains images of Lennon and Harrison signing examples of this record at the screening. In fine condition.
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the original recipient: “Am writing this letter to explain how I came to have the autographs of The Beatles John and George. As a teenager I was lucky enough to be area secretary for Wiltshire for The Beatles Fan Club. My name then was Jackie James. I was invited to the premiere of Magical Mystery Tour which John and George attended. After showing the film we all had tea together and that’s when the flexi disc cover was signed. This was in London and so exciting.”
