In fine condition, with two small creases to the left edge and two tiny stains to the back cover. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.
The Beatles' second full-length feature film, Help!, had its royal premiere at the London Pavilion in Piccadilly Circus. Crowds began to gather at 8:00 a.m., and by evening, ten thousand fans were outside to see Paul, George, and Ringo arrive in a black Rolls-Royce; the crowd surge delayed John's arrival in a Rolls-Royce by twenty minutes. After the screening, the Beatles appeared at the supper party at the Orchid Room of the Dorchester Hotel, a gala attended by most of the film's principals, including director Richard Lester, and co-stars Eleanor Bron, Victor Spinetti, Leo McKern, and Roy Kinnear. As the premiere went underway, Help! was released in several seaside towns around England. Complete band-signed menus from this event are quite scarce, even more so with the addition of several of the film's co-stars.
