Vintage semi-glossy 3.5 x 6 London Records promotional card for Roy Orbison, signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, “Beatles, love, Paul McCartney, xxx,” and on the front next to his likeness, “To Lillie, love, Roy Orbison.” The consignor notes that the signatures date to 1963. In very good to fine condition, with a small stain, and an unobtrusive crease (more visible on the Orbison side).
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter from the daughter of the original recipient: “My Dad worked for The Music Echo in the early 60s, met many celebrities of the day, Marty Wilde, Beatles, Spectres who became Status Quo…If I remember rightly he told us of a story where Paul McCartney owes him £1, it was either a bet they had or he needed it for a cab. Those were the days.”
