Vintage ballpoint signatures, "George Harrison, xxx," "Love, Paul McCartney, xxx," and "John Lennon, xx,” on a 5.25 x 4.25 Air Mail envelope. Includes an original ticket from the Beatles’ concert at the Grosvenor Rooms in Norwich, England, on May 17, 1963, which lists the opening act as Ricky Lee and the Hucklebucks, and promotes the band’s two lead singles, ‘From Me to You’ and ‘Please Please Me.’ In very good to fine condition, with light folds and creases. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Roger Epperson, and a letter of provenance from the daughter of the original recipient: “My mum gave me [the autographs] and she got them when the Beatles came to Norwich and played at the Grosvenor.”
According to local promoters Ray Aldous and Peter Holmes: ‘Paul was jolly. Ringo was the comedian. George never said a dickie-bird. And John was quiet. You didn’t get much out of John. He was the quiet man in the corner. John was the one talking about promotion and seemed to be the leader. They were heading for the big time. You could see it.’
