Incredibly desirable 1963 Parlophone mono first pressing Please Please Me album signed and inscribed on the back cover in black ballpoint, "To Margaret, love Paul McCartney, xxx," "Love from, George Harrison," "To Margaret, love from, Ringo Starr, (Richy)," and "John Lennon." In very good to fine condition, with some rippling to the emulsion on the front, light soiling to the reverse, and moderate-to-poor contrast to Lennon and Starr against the textual background. The record is not included. Accompanied by full letters of authenticity from JSA and REAL, as well as a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: "As Ringo's real name was Richard, he was known to those close to him (including the 3 members of The Beatles) as 'Richy.' Therefore Margaret was someone whom Ringo knew very well, and to have him sign 'Richy' is extremely rare, with very few examples known to exist. The signatures on the album date from late 1963 and this is an excellent representative set of Beatles autographs from the period." Seeking to capitalize on the success of their ‘Please Please Me’ and ‘Love Me Do’ singles, the Beatles recorded the majority of this album in a single day and Parlophone rush-released it on March 22, 1963. Before long the Beatles topped the UK charts and took off as an international sensation. A spectacular fully signed example of their first album.
