Description

Post-breakup check signed by former Beatles John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Sought-after Maclen (Music) Ltd. business check, 7.5 x 3.25, filled out in another hand and prominently signed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney as company directors, payable to Arthur Young McClelland Moores & Co., for £2052, June 27, 1975. Matted and framed with a full letter of authenticity from REAL, which features a pre-faded image of the check, to an overall size of 21.5 x 17. In fine condition, with noticeable fading to the check and McCartney’s signature.

Maclen Music was the company through which Lennon and McCartney received songwriting royalties for the songs they wrote together during the Beatles' days. Both were well into their solo careers by this point, with both releasing albums in 1975—McCartney’s Wings came out with their fourth album, Venus and Mars, and Lennon released his sixth, Rock 'n' Roll. Post-Beatles material signed by both Lennon and McCartney is extremely scarce.
