Description

Sought-after Maclen (Music) Ltd. business check, 7.5 x 3.25, filled out in another hand and signed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney as company directors, payable to Arthur Young McClelland Moores & Co., for £2052, June 27, 1975. Includes a full letter of authenticity from REAL. Cloth-matted and framed together to an overall size of 21.75 x 17. In very good to fine condition, with fading to the coloring of the check, and to the McCartney signature (which remains fully legible). Maclen Music was the company through which Lennon and McCartney received songwriting 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.
