SOLD !!

With its Peter Max-inspired designs, The Beatles
were so satisfied with the finished product of the 1968
animated production "yellow submarine,

the British versions of the lobby cards are completely

all the lobby cards are in beautiful, solid condition with very minimal handling wear.
and some of the cards have light aging stains on the blank back side.
the only card that we grade as a vg++, is the "all you need is love"
(pictured below)
that has a light crinkle crease evident in the center
that does not affect the overall presentation.

IF ONE WONDERS WHAT THE "U" SIGNIFIES THAT FOLLOWS THE PRINTED TITLE
"YELLOW SUBMARINE" - IT IS NOT A MIS-PRINT, BUT IS THE UNITED KINGDOM

1963 EMI / PARLOPHONE "the beatles"
PROMOTIONAL POSTER
"UN-CIRCULATED"
 
ITEM # POS85
CONDITION : FACTORY STOCK - UNUSED

SOLD !!

Originally in the collection of an EMI Sales Representative, this poster
was intended to be displayed in records shops in the UK in mid 1963 -
but the heads in the EMI Promotional Department decided that the design
of this poster was not sufficient. All of these posters were recalled - and all 
Sales Representatives were instructed to destroy them !!

Measuring 15" x 12", the poster features the classic 1963
Dezo Hoffman shot of the group in their gray collarless suits.
The graphics are vivid with "The Beatles" and "Parlophone Records",
including the Parlophone logo, and all of the important copyright information.

acquired directly from the private collection of the family 
of the original EMI Sales Representative, with less than 20 to have survived !

  This MEGA-RARE Poster is in stellar FACTORY STOCK, UNUSED, NEAR MINT Condition.
NO pin holes, NO tape stains, NO folds or creases - and is
presented as it was was issued - STILL ROLLED.
The paper is thick construction, crisp, and the background orange
is very bright with no fading anywhere !
 

1964 UNITED ARTISTS
RARELY SEEN 60"X 24"
" A  HARD  DAY'S  NIGHT " LOBBY BANNER POSTER
"UN-CIRCULATED"
 
ITEM # POS186
CONDITION :  FACTORY STOCK - UNUSED

SOLD !!

Movie posters of the 1960's that were sent to theater owners were expected to be
returned to the National Screen Service (the manufacturers of the posters) or destroyed
after being used to promote the movie. Many times the items gathered dust in theater
basements or were taken home by patrons or employees.

This particular example of the rarely seen original 1964
"A Hard Day's Night" LOBBY BANNER movie poster
never saw the light of day of distribution,
and this example is in "Un-Circulated",  Mint condition !!

Constructed of a thick canvas-like material, and measuring a
whopping 60" X 24",  LOBBY BANNER movie posters were sent to
theaters rolled  (not folded as one-sheet posters were )
 and this LIKE NEW example has remained rolled since it's manufacturing.
Notice the beauty of its clarity, bold colors, and cleanliness of this Banner in the
following close-up images. Also take note of the two-part number printed across
the left edge issued by the National Screen Service. The number for
A Hard Day's Night  is 64/261. The first number (64) is the year of release - 1964.
The second number (261) is the unique number issued to a movie that year :

For the ultimate in preservation purposes for this unique
and pristine example, we have had the Banner professionally applied
to an acid-free woven linen backing. This prevents the
poster from obtaining wrinkles, and is the best procedure for having
the poster framed, if one wishes.

You will not find another RARE original 1964 "A Hard Day's NIght" LOBBY BANNER
in this LIKE NEW UN-CIRCULATED condition !!! A true gem indeed for
The Beatles most hailed and loved film !!
 

MEGA-RARE
ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS 1965 "RUBBER SOUL"
IN STORE PROMOTIONAL POSTER

ITEM # POS156
CONDITION : FACTORY STOCK - UNUSED

SOLD !!

The 1965 Christmas season was a very special time for Beatles fans.
While previous albums had been collections of great performances,
Rubber Soul   is best appreciated when considered as an entire record -
one that set a new standard for the Beatles and rock albums.
George Martin's reflections indicate that this record's cohesive and
innovative nature was intentional. "It was the first album to present a new,
growing Beatles to the world. For the first time we began to
think of albums as art on their own, as complete entities."

Capitol had complete confidence that Rubber Soul  would be a
tremendous seller and had prepared a promotional poster,
featuring a brown and white enlargement of the front album cover.
The words "THE BEATLES" is in red, while the tease "12 BRAND NEW SONGS"
is in brown print. In red print once again is "Never Before Available in the U.S.A".
The Capitol Logo is in brown print.

To "Capitolize" on the Christmas holiday spirit,
Capitol's in-store poster told consumers that the album was
"GREAT FOR GIVING! OR JUST GROOVY LISTENING!"

This magnificent, very RARE poster, measures 22" X 34¼",
and this example is in stupendous LIKE NEW, Unused Factory Condition !
NO rips, No tears, No tape, No tack holes.
The graphics, clarity, and depth of this 1965 piece is just stunning !
The edges are straight, and the white areas remain bright and crisp.

Because these posters were shipped folded to record stores as opposed
to rolled in tubes, they exhibited crease marks (like one-sheet movie posters).
Yet, this particular poster was cared for and has been stored "rolled"
all these many years. The natural crease marks are very minimal and extremely faint -
as exhibited in our photos above. The folds are extremely clean.
There are no white lines or crease "holes"  anywhere,
due to the proper "rolled" storage of this example.

Furthermore, to preserve this unique and gorgeous example,
we have had the poster professionally preserved -
adhered to an acid-free woven linen backing. This prevents
the poster from obtaining wrinkles, tears and truly relieved the faint
fold marks more so. Also, this linen backing is the best procedure for
having the poster framed, if one wishes.

FROM THE BEATLES' GOLDEN AGE OF THE SIXTIES,
THIS TREMENDOUS IN STORE POSTER
WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT ADDITION TO A BEATLES COLLECTION !
IT WOULD LOOK MAJESTIC MATTED & FRAMED !

ULTRA-RARE ORIGINAL 1966
YESTERDAY AND TODAY "BUTCHER COVER"
IN STORE PROMOTIONAL POSTER

ITEM # POS157
CONDITION : FACTORY STOCK - UNUSED

SOLD !!

As we all know, the original cover to Yesterday And Today 
caused quite a stir when it made its limited appearance
in June, 1966. It marked the first time that the Beatles judgment
was severely and universally criticized. The controversial cover
depicted the Beatles in white butcher smocks surrounded by
slabs of meat and decapitated baby dolls. the facial expressions
of the group fall somewhere between smirks and smiles.

Capitol proceeded with the pressing, packaging and shipping
of 750,000 copies of the albums to its distributors.
Advance copies were sent to the media. The response was immediate
and uniformly negative - and forced Capitol Records president
Alan Livingston to pull the plug on the Butcher.
A massive recall plan was quickly formulated and Capitol sales reps
were sent telegrams directing them to ship all copies of the
album back to the factories immediately. The "Trunk Cover"
was to be the replacement image for the LP - and the
rest is history in the Collector's world. Hence the
First, Second, and Third State Butcher Covers were born.

Yet, what is more fascinating, Capitol
prepared in-store promotional posters
for the release of the album - and was the only promotional item
ever produced to promote this classic album . . . . . .
WHICH ALSO HAD TO BE RECALLED !!!

This stupendous example offered here
came directly from a noted former Capitol Records employee.
It is in stellar FACTORY STOCK, UNUSED, NEAR MINT Condition.
NO pin holes, NO tape stains, NO folds or creases -
and is presented as it was was issued to record distributors - STILL ROLLED.
Absolutely 100% Original and Authentic, it measures 18" X 22", and as with all
Original Butcher Promotional Posters, it features the darker red (blood red)
"INCREDIBLE" print at the top of the poster.

WE HAVE SCANNED A SECTION OF THE POSTER TO DISPLAY THE ASTOUNDING
RICH TEXTURES OF THE COLOR IMAGE. THE DEPTH OF CLARITY IS OVERWHELMING !
THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL-TIME BEST LOOKING
BEATLES PROMOTIONAL IN-STORE POSTERS IN EXISTENCE :

The poster will be shipped rolled to retain it's well-preserved ORIGINAL condition.

Accompanied with Letters of Authenticity
from noted Beatles' expert & author Perry Cox

SUPER-RARE ORIGINAL 1966 "REVOLVER"
IN STORE PROMOTIONAL POSTER

ITEM # POS158
CONDITION : FACTORY STOCK - UNUSED

SOLD !!

While the release of Revolver  coincided  with the Beatles summer tour
of the United States, no songs from the album were performed, but the
album, of course, immediately went to # 1 despite the controversy
surrounding John Lennon's much publicized and
misconstrued comments on Christianity.

Although listeners are drawn into Revolver  by its unique sound images,
one should not ignore the brilliance of its songs. The Beatles were not engaging
in studio wizardry to cover weaknesses; they were looking for new sounds to
enhance their songs.

Capitol's version of Revolver is nearly identical to the British album,
and was released on August 8, 1966. The only difference is that the Capitol
LP has eleven songs rather than fourteen. The missing songs are the three
that Capitol had released previously on its Yesterday And Today  album.

Capitol prepared a stunning 25" X 32" in-store poster to promote Revolver,
and we are proud to offer this sensational example here !

The poster features an illustration of the album cover against a black
backround. The Klaus Voormann cover design is further accentuated with
the word "BANG!" which appears in large yellow letters above the cover.

The album number and Capitol logo are in white below the cover.

The lower white border of the poster has the word "including"
followed by a drawing of a yellow submarine
and the phrase "and Eleanor Rigby" :

Since the Revolver  posters were shipped rolled in tubes to
record stores, there are no factory folds to them.

Furthermore, to preserve this unique and stellar example,
we have had the poster professionally preserved -
adhered to an acid-free woven linen backing. This prevents
the poster from obtaining wrinkles, tears and truly brings out the
beauty of its original rolled state, Also, this linen backing is the best
procedure for having the poster framed, if one wishes.

The paper material utilized on the REVOLVER  posters was different than
the regular flat paper stock on the RUBBER SOUL  promo posters.
The REVOLVER  posters were produced on a
"glossy" stock and radiates a beautiful sheen !

Considered to be one of the rarest
of all in-store promotional Beatles items, this one is in gorgeous
LIKE NEW, factory stock, unused condition. The whites are clean and crisp,
and all edges of the poster are sharp without bends or tears.
The graphics are astounding, to say the least !

This Revolver Promotional Poster is the finest example known to exist.
 

1970 UNITED ARTISTS "LET IT BE"
RARER THREE-SHEET SIZE MOVIE POSTER
"UN-CIRCULATED"
 
ITEM # POS187
CONDITION : FACTORY STOCK - UNUSED

SOLD !!

Movie posters of the 1960's and 1970's that were sent to theater
owners were expected to be returned to the National Screen Service
(the manufacturers of the posters) or destroyed
after being used to promote the movie. Many times the items
gathered dust in theater basements or were taken
home by patrons or employees.

Very much RARER than the standard One-Sheet size,
this particular example of the original 1970
"Let It Be" THREE-SHEET movie poster
never saw the light of day of distribution,
and this example is in "Un-Circulated", Mint condition !!

Measuring a tremendous 81" X 41", standard three-sheet
movie posters were sent to theatres pre-folded in two sections,
and it is obvious that this Poster has remained
folded since it's manufacturing :

For the ultimate in preservation purposes for this gorgeous
and pristine example, we have had the poster
professionally assembled and then applied
to an acid-free woven linen backing. This prevents the
poster from obtaining wrinkles, and is the best procedure
for having the poster framed, if one wishes.

Following the professional assembly and preservation
procedure, the permanent folds in this example are so very faint
and hardly noticeable, for it never had that wear over age to
have been opened and closed numerous times.

Take notice of the deep, bold details from these close-up images :

Prior to having the movie poster mounted onto the linen backing,
we photographed the area of the blank side of the poster,
displaying the official stamp, dictating the authenticity
of this three-sheet  "3 - SH." :

Due to the hype created by John Lennon's remarks that
were taken out of context about The Beatles
being more popular than Jesus, this concert failed to sell out,
with 11,000 of the 55,600 seats remaining empty.
This only partly explained the lack of excitement in the
stadium compared to the heady atmosphere
of the record-breaking 1965 show. Still, the concert
grossed $292,000 - of which the Beatles
received 65%, $189,000 - greater than their 1965 take.

Finding separate tickets for the 1966 concert is not
as difficult as the infamous 1965 show,
but one never sees 5 unused, full tickets
together - in consecutive seating !!

The five FULL UNUSED tickets are the
Lime Green “Upper Reserved" $5.00 Seats,
Section 7, Row V, Seats 13 thru 17.
All are in pristine and sharp Near Mint condition.
