The Beatles - Parlophone Records promotional photographic card depicting a very young group standing together behind a pile of musical instruments; signed verso by George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and John Lennon, inscribed by two members to 'Janet' and also signed by a female 'roadie' F. Holly who had been assigned to look after her 14.5 x 9cm Provenance: The signatures were obtained by 'Janet', the vendor, at the Majestic Ballroom, Witham, Hull, at their performance on 13th February 1963, when she was sixteen years old. Janet was still recovering from being injured in a car accident so was removed from the packed audience to watch the performance from the wings where she acquired the signatures, personally watching each member of the band sign the card. Whilst signing the card the Beatles asked her to attend a party later that night at their hotel in Hull but she declined as she was too young and had to return home by 11pm!
