Extraordinary vintage circa 1964 semi-glossy 6.25 x 8.25 photo of The Who posing with their instruments, signed in the lower border in blue ballpoint by Pete Townshend, Keith Moon, Roger Daltrey, and John Entwistle (signing as "John Brown"). In fine to very fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: "It was in 1963 that I was introduced to Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle and Pete Townshend by my association with the then drummer, Doug Sandom, the band being called The Detours. I joined them at rehearsals at such places as the Notre Dame Church Hall in Leicester Square, and at various gigs over the next two years—during which time they changed their name to The High Numbers, and then to The Who. Gigs included (amongst many others) support group to Wee Wille Harris at The Goldhawk Club in Shepherds Bush, and to The Rolling Stones at St. Mary’s Hall, Hotham Road, Putney. After Doug Sandom left the band in April 1964 I gradually lost touch with the rest of the group—but I remained a member (30 A) of The Who Fan Club. The Who signed photo includes Keith Moon who replaced Doug Sandom, and John signed himself as ‘Brown’ as he said he was embarrassed about his surname."
