“The White Album Auction”
- The First Fully Signed Beatles ‘White Album’ Ever To Be Auctioned
- Expected To Realise Over £100k At Auction
- Taken In Lieu Of A £100 Debt In The Seventies By A London Man
- On-line Bidding Begins On 22 November 2013 At TracksAuction.com
On the 22nd November 2013 online bidding will begin at
TracksAuction.com on the first fully signed copy of ‘The Beatles’ LP
(the ‘White Album’) ever to be publicly auctioned. This autographed
copy of the White Album is the first ever to surface. The album was
originally taken by a South London man from his brother in lieu of a
£100 debt in the seventies. It was then stored away in a radiogram in
the lounge of a semi-detached house in South London for the last forty
plus years, totally unbeknown to the owner that the signatures were
genuine. The album was forgotten about until recently when a signed
copy of Sgt. Pepper fetched $290,000 in an online U.S.A. auction. This
prompted the owner of the album to contact TracksAuction.com to
authenticate the signatures and value the album. It is expected that
this fabulous autographed copy of what many consider to be The Beatles
greatest work could realise over £100k when auctioned. Genuine signed
copies of The Beatles post-1967 albums are virtually non-existent. Only
two autographed copies of The White Album are known to exist and only 2
signed copies of the Abbey Road LP have surfaced. A signed copy of the
group’s final album, Let It Be, has never been seen.
