RR Auction Buddy Holly Signed U. K. tour concert program cover


Original 1958 Buddy Holly and the Crickets U. K. tour concert program cover, front and back, 8.5 x 10.5, signed in black ballpoint on the back cover featuring a full-page image of Holly and his band. In very good condition, with edge tears, scattered creases and wrinkles, and several remnants of professionally removed signatures to the inside.

Many rock historians point to this tour of Great Britain by Buddy Holly & The Crickets as a major turning point in popular music. The British loved American rock 'n’ roll and the personal appearance of one of their favorite groups gave young English rockers a first-hand look at how the music was actually made. Paul McCartney would later recall watching Buddy Holly perform on Sunday Night at The London Palladium television program just to see which chords Holly used and where he placed his guitar capo. The 25-date concert tour in March 1958, which included visits to seven different venues in the greater London metro area, was wildly received by fans. When the "British Invasion" arrived on American shores in 1964, it was led by musicians such as Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Keith Richards, and others who were forever moved by the 1958 visit of Buddy Holly and The Crickets to England. It is entirely fitting that the Rolling Stones' first big hit was Buddy Holly & The Crickets' ‘Not Fade Away.’ Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.

RR Autograph Auction Beatles A Hard Day’s Night soundtrack album signed


A Hard Day’s Night soundtrack album signed on the back cover in black ballpoint, “George Harrison,” “Paul McCartney,” “John Lennon,” and “Ringo Starr.” Scattered toning and foxing to back cover, and scattered creases and surface marks to front cover, otherwise fine condition. The record is included. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA, grading the Lennon, McCartney, and Starr signatures “8,” and the Harrison signature a “9.” Also accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, which reads, in part: “These signatures date from 1964, shortly after the album was released. ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ is a highly desirable title to have signed by the Beatles…the ultimate in any true fan’s collecting experience…very few documented examples of ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ autographed by the Beatles exist, and in fact, only 6 copies of this extremely rare and desirable title signed by the band have surfaced to date.” Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
