Description

Former Beatles Lennon and McCartney approve the promotion of their musical catalog

DS, signed “John Lennon" and "Paul McCartney,” three pages, 7.5 x 12.5, February 11, 1975. Contract between Maclen Music Limited and Jackwill S. A., with the latter agreeing to "procure or provide such services for the purpose of promoting the MML Catalogue of musical compositions and placement with recording artists of musical compositions owned by MML" for a period of four years. Approved and signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint by Paul McCartney and in black ballpoint by John Lennon. Countersigned by J. W. Clement on behalf of Maclen Music and by R. D. A Wills on behalf of Jackwill S. A. Matted and framed with a certificate of authenticity from Tracks to an overall size of 21.5 x 31.25. In fine condition, with a tear to the top edge.

Maclen Music was the company through which Lennon and McCartney received song-writing 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.
