Vintage 1958 ballpoint signatures of Buddy Holly and the Crickets—“Buddy Holly,” “Jerry Allison,” and “Joe Mauldin”—on a light peach-colored 6.25 x 4.75 album page. The consignor notes that the autographs were obtained at the City Hall in Newcastle, England, on March 6, 1958, during Holly’s only UK tour. In fine condition, with some light creasing. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter of provenance from the original recipient: “I went to see Buddy Holly and the Crickets with some of my friends, when they played at the City Hall in Newcastle. After the performance, armed with our autograph books, we went downstairs to see if we could get their autographs. I can remember being ushered in one at a time. They were sitting at a table at the far side of the room and it felt rather uncomfortable to be stared at as I walked across! I would only be seventeen at the time.”
