Footnotes

The Beatles visited Sweden in October 1963 for their concert in the small town of Karlstad, performing in the hall of a secondary school. The signatures were obtained for use in the school magazine and the vendor, being the youngest invloved with the paper aged 12, was given the original signatures as a memento. This provenance is documented in the letter from the vendor included in this lot.
