Description: Autograph book containing a beautiful and authentic set of Beatles autographs circa 1963/64, one of the nicest sets of Beatles autographs to surface in a while with John adding "To Diane". Comes with a letter of provenance,which reads in part: I am writing this letter to authenticate the autograph book being presented by Mrs. Diane (name by me for privacy reasons). The autographs in it were collected personally by my ex-husband Michael Bailey, when he worked at Granada TV in the early sixties as a gift for my then 10 year old cousin Diane who was Beatle mad at the time. He worked on the daily news programme on 1963-64,called Scene at Six Thirty and People Places which both featured a pop group at the end. As Manchester was a hub of pop at the time we had many visiting groups and the Beatles certainly made their very first appearance on the programme. Michael was very friendly with them, especially John and Paul. while at Granada he also designed the iconic Whole Lotta Shaking (set) with Jerry Lee Lewis and Gene Vincent as well as several other shows which still can be seen on You Tube.He subsequently went to ATV at Elstree and designed Sunday Night at the London Palladium shows with Tom Jones, Val Doonican, and Liberace,then went on to period drama like Clayhangar and Anthony and Cleopatra with Trever Nunn.This can always be verified by checking with a Google search. Feel free to contact me on the above address (which is listed at the top of this letter) at any time. Yours sincerely(Name withheld by me for privacy by me.) **** Beatles footnote: The Beatles made their first television appearance on UK television on the 17th of October 1962 on the show "People and Places"….They subsequently appeared on "Scene at Six Thirty" and "People and Places" a dozen times over the next two years. Authentic full sets of Beatles signatures are getting harder and harder to come by. Other autographs in this autograph book include: Freddie and the Dreamers Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas The Merseybeats Brain Poole and the Tremeloes Adam Faith Tommy Roe Brook Benton Gerry Marsden (Gerry and the Pacemakers) Joe Brown (The Beatles opened for him) Amongst others. This set of Beatles autographs comes with a certificate of authenticity, from a most reputable and well known Beatles authenticator. The autograph books pages are a nice and big at 5 1/2" x 3 3/4" and it's in very good condition with only normal wear to it and the spine while not tight (a tad lose) is intact and considering that this autograph book is over 50 years old and is in the condition it is….Is quite remarkable in itself. Feel free to email me with any questions that you may have. I have been collecting music memorabilia for over 40 years now, so bid with confidence.
