Signed Copy of "Meet the Beatles" at Auction
From the Feb. 14, 2014 Yahoo! Music/Rolling Stone. //// A copy of the second American album (the first was Introducing the Beatles) is at auction and autographed by all-four Beatles, signed during that big first Ed Sullivan Show hoopla. It was given to Dr, Jules Gordon who treated George Harrison's sore throat before the Feb. 9, 1964, Ed Sullivan Show. //// The auction will be run by New Hampshire-based RR Auction March 13-20. //// Few of the viewing public knew how sick George Harrison really was the day before the show, and even the day of it. But, George "soldiered" on through it. Dr. Gordon served as the house doctor of New York City's Plaza Hotel, where the Beatles were staying, from 1942-1965. //// Not only autographed, but a lot of history behind that album. //// Also on auction: a signed U.K. pressing of the band's debut EP, Twist and Shout. And, the registration for John Lennon's famous psychedelic 1965 Rolls Royce Phantom V Limousine and a pair of his distinctive wire-rimmed glasses. //// Got a Coupla Thousand Lying Around? --RoadDg
