Vintage program from the royal world premiere of the Beatles’ feature
film debut, A Hard Day’s Night, held at London’s Pavilion Theatre on
July 6, 1964, forty pages, 8.5 x 11, signed on the centerfold in blue
ballpoint by George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr,
and manager Brian Epstein. Front cover bears a collector’s ink notation.
In very good to fine condition, with general overall handling wear,
creasing and soiling to the covers, and the signed page detached but
fully intact. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles
expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: “An extremely scarce set of Beatles
autographs with Brian Epstein. The London premiere of The Beatles’ new
movie was a momentous event for the band and ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ proved
to be a huge commercial success, serving to further catapult the band’s
popularity and stardom. This signed premiere program is a fabulous
piece of that important night.”
Estimate: $25000-30000
