Wonderful vintage 7.5 x 5 Parlophone Records large format March 1963 promotional photo, signed in black ballpoint, “Paul McCartney,” and “John Lennon,” in blue ballpoint, “Ringo Starr,” and in blue ink, “George Harrison.” In fine condition, with a few scattered and mild edge creases and mounting remnants to reverse. Parlophone Records produced a small quantity of promotional photocards in two formats - a horizontal and a vertical, both with pictures being shot by Dezo Hoffman while The Beatles were in the studio. Almost all of these cards were signed on the reverse, because there was very little light area on the front of the cards for their signatures. Parlophone’s second and final issue card was introduced in March of 1963 and came in two sizes: 5.75 x 3.75 and 7.5 X 5. Both cards lent themselves to being signed on the front, next to the photo of The Beatles because there was more light area to the right of their photo. Great early image of the Fab Four certain to find a place of honor in any Beatles or music enthusiast’s collection. LOA Roger Epperson/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
