Description

McCartney Productions check signed by Paul in July 1970, roughly three months after he released his self-titled debut solo album and announced his departure from the Beatles

McCartney Productions Ltd. business check (Westminster Bank Limited, Wood Green Branch), 6 x 3, filled out in another hand and signed in felt tip by Paul McCartney, payable to the Rye Castle Fund for £145, July 3, 1970. In very fine condition. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.

This check dates to roughly three months after McCartney publicly announced his departure from the Beatles in a press release accompanying his first solo album on April 10, 1970—the date most often cited as the band’s official breakup. This separation is further evidenced by the use of McCartney’s personal business check, rather than the more commonly encountered Apple or Maclen Music checks.
