 SWEDISH TRAVEL AGENCY BROCHURE
AUTOGRAPHED ON REVERSE BY
THE BEATLES
SIGNED FRIDAY 3 DECEMBER 1965
ODEON CINEMA, GLASGOW, SCOTLAND

THE BEATLES' LAST HOMELAND TOUR, AND THEIR ONLY ONE IN
HECTIC AND FRANTIC 1965, WAS A BRIEF AFFAIR COMPARED TO
PREVIOUS BRITISH EXCURSIONS - VISITING ONLY NINE VENUES (EIGHT CITIES)
IN TEN DAYS, WITH TWO "HOUSES" EACH DATE. THEIR REPERTOIRE
THROUGHOUT COMPRISED A MERE 11 SONGS :
I FEEL FINE, SHE'S A WOMAN, IF I NEEDED SOMEONE, ACT NATURALLY,
NOWHERE MAN, BABY'S IN BLACK, HELP!, WE CAN WORK IT OUT,
YESTERDAY  (WITH PAUL ACCOMPANYING HIMSELF ON ELECTRIC ORGAN),
DAY TRIPPER,  AND I'M DOWN.

IT WAS AT THE FIRST VENUE OF THIS SHORT TOUR,
AT THE ODEON CINEMA IN GLASGOW, SCOTLAND, THAT THE LADS
INKED THEIR SIGNATURES ON THE INNER FOLDED SECTION OF A
NYMAN & SCHULTZ TRAVEL AGENCY BROCHURE COVER :

WHEN THE BROCHURE IS PROPERLY FOLDED, EACH INNER SECTION PAGE
MEASURES A RATHER LARGE 8¼" x  4½", AND IS WHERE THE BEATLES HAD
SIGNED FOLLOWING THEIR PERFORMANCE IN MATCHING BLACK BALLPOINT.
TAKE SPECIAL NOTE, THAT THE RECIPIENT OF THESE AUTOGRAPHS, HAD
WRITTEN IN NOT ONLY THE CITY AND THE DATE,
BUT THE ACTUAL TIME OF "23.30" WHEN THE SIGNATURES WERE ACQUIRED :

DUE TO THEIR CRAZED UNRELENTING SCHEDULE OF TOURING, FILMING "HELP!" AND
RECORDING SESSIONS, IT IS A FACT THAT LATE 1965 BEATLES AUTOGRAPHS
ARE QUITE A RARITY INDEED. THE 1965 AUTOGRAPHS ON THIS EXAMPLE,
ARE ABSOLUTELY COLOSSAL IN SIZE, WITH HUGE SWEEPING FORMS THAT
COVERS A VAST MAJORITY OF THE 8¼" x  4½" RIGHT SIDE INNER THICK CARD
COVER WHEN OPENED.  THE SIGNATURES ARE DARK, BOLD AND VERY DEEP.
THE SCAN DOES NOT REALLY DISPLAY THE CLARITY, BRILLIANCE AND
GIGANTIC PROPORTION OF THE AUTOGRAPHS,
FOR THEY SIMPLY JUMP OFF THE CARD !!

THIS EXTRAORDINARY SET OF RARE 1965 BEATLES AUTOGRAPHS
HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY MATTED AND  FRAMED IN A
LUXURIOUS AND HEAVENLY "SKY BLUE" WITH "GRAPHITE GRAY" FLOORING.
WINDOWED IN ABOVE THE SIGNED BROCHURE IS THE FAMOUS "POSED"
COLOR PUBLICITY PHOTOGRAPH OF THE GROUP TAKEN IN
MID 1965 DIRECTLY FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THEIR FILMING "HELP!".
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INTEGRITY OF  THE SIGNED BROCHURE HAS BEEN
RESPECTED AND IS FULLY EXPOSED WITHOUT MATTING CUTTING OFF THE EDGES.
transparent photograph corner holders ARE UTILIZED to hold IT In place  :

WITH OVERALL DIMENSIONS OF 26" X 14", TAKE NOTICE OF THE
SIZE COMPARISON OF THE 8" x 10" PHOTO AND THE SIGNED BROCHURE.
IT JUSTIFIES THE PROPORTIONS OF THESE STUNNING LATE 1965
SIGNATURES, GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE BOYS HAD A LOT OF AREA
TO SIGN WITHIN THE CENTER. THEY ARE LARGER THAN THOSE TYPICALLY
FOUND ON A STANDARD AUTOGRAPH ALBUM PAGE !

ACCOMPANIED BY
LIFETIME LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY FROM
FRANK CAIAZZO & FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES
