' Description ORIGINAL 1963 UK BEATLES AND ROY ORBISON TOUR PROGRAM FULLY SIGNED BY BOTH! THIS IS A STUNNING SIGNED PROGRAM SIGNED DURING THE TOUR! FOLKS IT DOESN’T GET MUCH BETTER THAT THIS! A RARE ORIGINAL TOUR PROGRAM DATING FROM THE HISTORIC 1963 BEATLES & ROY ORBISON U.K. TOUR VINTAGE SIGNED BY ALL FOUR BEATLES. ALL FOUR HAVE INKED THEIR NAMES BEAUTIFULLY IN BLACK BALLPOINT PEN BY THEIR RESPECTIVE IMAGES. ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE IS A WONDERFULLY DETAILED BEATLES BIO PAGE. AND AS AN ADDED BONUS, THE GREAT ROY ORBISON HAS SIGNED THE PROGRAM ON HIS PHOTO PAGE. IT IS ACTUALLY QUITE RARE TO FIND THESE PROGRAMS SIGNED TOGETHER BY THE BEATLES AND ROY ORBISON. ADDING TO THE UNIQUENESS AND ORIGINALITY OF THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM, LOUISE CORDET AND IAN CRAWFORD, ALSO PERFORMING ON THE TOUR, HAVE SIGNED ON THEIR RESPECTIVE PAGES. THIS IS ONLY THE 3rd TIME I’VE SOLD A FULLY SIGNED TOUR PROGRAM ON EBAY. AND THIS ONE IS SPECTACULAR! THE ORBISON TOUR IS CONSIDERED A MILESTONE IN THE BEATLES CAREER. EARLIER THAT SAME YEAR, THE BEATLES HAD GONE ON TOUR AS ONE OF THE OPENING ACTS FOR HELEN SHAPIRO. LESS THAN THREE MONTHS LATER, THEY WERE ON THE ROAD WITH ORBISON AS HIS OPENING ACT. BUT JUST ONE WEEK INTO THE TOUR – BY POPULAR DEMAND – THE BILLING SWITCHED. ROY, THE ORIGINAL HEADLINER, WAS NOW RELEGATED TO THE BEATLES’ OPENING ACT AS THE GROUP CLOSED THE SHOWS FOR THE FINAL TWO WEEKS OF THE TOUR. THIS WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FOR THE BAND IN EVERY WAY, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT ORBISON WAS IMMENSELY POPULAR IN GREAT BRITAIN AT THE TIME AND, JUST 10 WEEKS EARLIER, THE BEATLES WERE AN OPENING ACT FOR A TEENAGER! HERE IS A PROGRAM FROM THAT HISTORICAL TOUR WITH ROY ORBISON, SIGNED BY THE BEATLES ON MAY 29, 1963 AFTER A CONCERT AT THE RIALTO THEATRE IN YORK, ENGLAND. THE PROGRAM COMES WITH A LETTER FROM THE ORIGINAL RECIPIENT STATING THAT SHE WENT TO THE STAGE AFTER THE BEATLES AND ORBISON PERFORMED AND OBTAINED THEIR AUTOGRAPHS, AS WELL AT THE OTHERS INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM. PER FRANK CAIAZZO, “SIGNED TOUR PROGRAMS ARE QUITE SPECIAL AS THEY REPRESENT AN HISTORIC COLLECTIBLE FROM A SPECIFIC AND IN MOST CASES VERY DIRECT ENCOUNTER WITH THE BEATLES. INDEED, THE MAGIC OF A LIVE PERFORMANCE BY THE WORLD'S GREATEST BAND COMBINED WITH THE INTIMATE EXPERIENCE OF ACQUIRING THEIR AUTOGRAPHS WAS THE ULTIMATE FAB FOUR DREAM”. THE PROGRAM IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. ALTHOUGH THE COVER SHOWS SOME WEAR IT IS WELL ABOVE AVERAGE AND THE INNER PAGES ARE BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED AND IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE MEASUREMENT OF THE PROGRAM OPENED TO THE BEATLES' SPREAD IS AN IMPRESSIVE 16" X 10 ½", AND THE BOOKLET MEASURES 8" X 10 ½" CLOSED. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT THIS PROGRAM WITH ALL RED TYPE ON THE COVER IS FAR LESS COMMON THAT THE TYPICAL RED AND YELLOW TYPE COVER. ALSO INCLUDED IS AN 8X10” BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE BEATLES AND ROY ORBISON TAKEN BACKSTAGE ON THE OPENING NIGHT OF THIS TOUR. ALSO PICTURED ARE GERRY AND THE PACEMAKERS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DESIRABLE SIGNED BEATLES PROGRAM, AUTOGRAPHED BY THE BAND AT A TIME WHEN THEY WERE LITERALLY 'KICKING INTO OVERDRIVE' AFTER RELEASING THEIR THIRD PARLOPHONE SINGLE "FROM ME TO YOU." IF YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT GREAT VINTAGE SIGNED TOUR PROGRAM YOU WON’T DO BETTER THAN THIS! CHECK OUT THE PICTURES AND ENJOY! THIS ITEM WILL COME WITH A LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY FROM FRANK CAIAZZO, FROM TRACKS IN THE U.K., AND ONE FROM MYSELF. NOTE TO ALL MY CUSTOMERS: First of all, A sincere "THANK YOU" to all of my customers new and old. I wouldn't be here without you and I appreciate it more than you know. I do need to ask something of my customers...... When leaving feedback for me, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Leave all 5 DSR (detailed seller rating) Stars for me. This is very important to a sellers Ebay rating. IF there's any of those areas you feel may be less than a 5 star performance by me, by all means, contact me and I'll make it right. I know some think that 4 of 5 is darn good, but for this system as it is designed, 4 out of 5 is a failing grade! It takes you out of merit. And I know some of you just don't mess with it at all figuring it doesn't matter. While I understand it's a few clicks more for you, it makes a HUGE difference to me. And if you leave NONE AT ALL, that's counted as a big fat ZERO to my rating! So I ask you, please, if you would, please leave ALL 5 STARS in ALL 4 areas for me!! I would very much appreciate this. Thanks again to you all!! My best, Perry Satisfaction Guaranteed! Winner to pay $20 registered priority mail postage and insurance. Overseas pay actual post.
