THE BEATLES - Imagine, Rare Collectibles
Looking to own a part of music history ? Here is your chance.
On September 19, 2015 Heritage Auctions will sell over 300 lots of Beatles memorabilia.
The most important historical items include the first signed Beatles recording contract dated 1961 in Hamburg and written entirely in German. Expected to sell for $150,000, the contract pre-dates Ringo Starr 's joining the group.
Alternatively, if you are a Beatles purist, you may prefer one of the autographed copies of the Beatles ' first hit - "Love Me Do." The 45 single was released in late 1962 with the flipside is "P.S. I Love You." The script signatures read : " George Harris," " John Lennon," " Paul McCartney" and "Ringo Starr."
One of the 45's are expected now to sell at over $11,000 and the second at around $5,000 due to a difference in their provenance.
A menu signed by the Beatles when they were filming "Help!" is expected to fetch over $12,000.
The physical auction will take place at the Fletcher Sinclair Mansion at the corner of 79th Street and Fifth Ave, on September 19th.
You can bid in advance on line at the Heritage website under the September 19-20 Entertainment Auction: http://www.ha.com/
