Apple Records, Inc. business check, 8 x 3.5, filled out in another hand and signed by George Harrison, payable to Lake & Muckley for £25, April 26, 1971. In fine condition, with a cancellation mark over the signature.
The check dates to a turbulent period in the Beatles' financial affairs. On December 31, 1970, Paul McCartney filed suit in London's High Court seeking dissolution of the Beatles' partnership and the appointment of a receiver to manage its assets. On March 12, 1971, Justice Blanshard Stamp ruled in McCartney's favor and appointed London accountant James Spooner as receiver and manager. Lennon, Harrison, and Starr initially opposed the action but abandoned their appeal on April 25, 1971, the day before Harrison signed this check. The partnership remained under receivership while the parties worked toward a settlement, with its formal dissolution not completed until 1975.
