Here are some Beatles items that our auction house, Nate D. Sanders (http://www.NateDSanders.com) has sold:
Coveted instrument personally owned and played by music legend and 1960’s cultural icon John Lennon. The first time Lennon played an instrument with a keyboard on a record was for his collaboration with McCartney on 1965’s ”I’m Down”, from the B-side to Beatles single ”Help!” Mason and Hamlin brand reed organ, or pump organ, is made of walnut wood and features a dark cherry finish. Accompanied by a slip inscribed, ”Love to Julie / From John Lennon / xxxx” in red ink. Rubber lining on pedals has been replaced. Near fine. A Steinway brand piano of Lennon’s sold at Sotheby’s in 2000 for $2.1 million. Replaced rubber on the foot pedals, else near fine. With provenance from Sotheby’s including original catalog and house-issued certificate of ownership signed by Yoko Ono. Sold for $74,535.
The original Ludwig drum kit used for the recording of ”Love Me Do”, The Beatles’ first single on their first album ”Please Please Me”, released on 22 March 1963 and ushering in Beatlemania. The session was recorded on 11 September 1962 at EMI London, with this recording of ”Love Me Do” used on the Beatles’ first album ”Please Please Me” as well as the first Beatles U.S. release of ”Love Me Do” and the 1982 re-release of the song. In addition to ”Love Me Do”, this Ludwig drum kit is also heard on ”P.S. I Love You”, which plays on the B-side of the British single and on the ”Please Please Me” album. The kit was played by Andy White during the recording session, who played with the Fab Four that day, with Ringo playing tambourine on ”Love Me Do”. Kit comprises a 14” x 22” bass drum, 16” x 16” floor tom, 9” x 13” tom-tom (which is date-stamped 1956 inside) and 5.5” x 14” snare. Drum head is new. The original Black Diamond Pearl wrapping is present and matches exactly the photo of White playing the drum kit. From the personal collection of Clive Edwards, who studied drum playing under Reg Weller, one of Andy White’s best friends. Weller procured the kit for Edwards after White secured an endorsement deal with Ajax drums. With an LOA from Thea White, the widow of Andy White. Sold for $67,500.
George Harrison’s sitar from 1965, almost certainly the one he used to record ”Norwegian Wood”, the Beatles song that not only launched ”The Great Sitar Explosion” in rock music, but also deepened Harrison’s involvement with Indian music, its culture and the Hindu religion that would shape the rest of his life. More than any guitar that Harrison used during his career with the Beatles and as a solo artist, the sitar is perhaps the instrument most closely associated with Harrison, who was first introduced to it in August of 1965 by David Crosby before buying his own and using it to record ”Norwegian Wood” on 12 October 1965. Sold for $62,500.
Lot of exceptional Beatles items, including a ”Please Please Me” album signed by all four, without inscription. The Beatles’ first LP, ”Please Please Me” is here signed on the verso of the album cover in blue ink by Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. Framed to a size of 35.5” x 23”. Not examined out of frame. Some wear to edges, light toning and discoloration. Overall in good condition. With Roger Epperson COA for all four signatures.
Lot also includes a John Lennon signed and handwritten Happy New Year card for 1978. Lennon writes, ”To Stan & Jan, Happy Holidays / love / John Yoko Sean”. Lennon then hand draws doodles, which appear to be little portraits of him, Yoko and Sean. Card measures 6.5” x 10” unfolded. Accompanied by original envelope postmarked 19 December 1977 from New York, all framed to a size of 25” x 22.25”. Not examined out of frame but card appears near fine. With Roger Epperson COA. Sold for $28,750.
Contract rider for the Beatles 28 August 1965 concert in San Diego at Balboa Stadium, signed by the ”fifth Beatle,” their manager Brian Epstein. This concert was a particularly well-documented event in rock and roll history symbolizing Beatlemania; it was added last-minute to the itinerary of their 1965 North America tour in response to popular demand, and an incident immediately followed the show in which the Beatles’ tour bus broke down and was damaged by a frenzied mob of crazed fans. Typed rider is also signed by a representative from the event purchaser Sight and Sound Productions. The Beatles’ live performance requirements are spelled out in the eleven point rider, including security considerations and crowd control. Also present is their famous requirement that they not play before a segregated audience. Rider arranges for the Fab Four’s transportation from Los Angeles to San Diego for the concert and guarantees the following terms: ”not less than 150 uniformed officers” were to be provided and more if necessary; a ”strong fence or barrier…to prevent any of the audience from climbing over”; also a ”platform for Ringo Starr and his drums” and a high-fidelity sound system equipped with a ”first class sound engineer”; a dressing room with ”four cots, mirrors, an ice cooler, portable TV set and clean towels”; a guest list not to exceed 50 complimentary tickets; one press conference and no further media engagements at the event; prohibition of ticket sales in advance of 31 May 1965; transportation including ”Two seven-passenger Cadillac limousines (air-conditioned if possible) with chauffeurs” and prohibition of unauthorized merchandise sales and bootlegging at the show. Incidentally, the Beatles encountered transportation snafus both coming and going – the airline workers’ strike coincided with their planned flight to San Diego and a touring coach instead brought the band from LA via Highway 1. Three-page document on 3 sheets measures 8.5” x 11”. Toning, creasing and staple punctures to the upper left, else near fine. A scarce record of the Beatles.
Sold for $10,780.

Additionally inscribed and signed “To Mother Roy it’s been fun nowing [sic] you Neil Aspinall” and further annotated in an unknown hand. Glossy photo measures 6″ x 8″. Diagonal crease across upper right of photo, some dampstaining and fingerprints on verso, else near fine. A rare, fantastic piece showing the Fab Four’s playful wit. Sold for $10,470.

The event was organized by London concert promoter John Smith, and also featured John Leyton (who cancelled his appearance), The Big Three, Billy Kramer, and several more acts, with The Beatles headlining. Orange program bound by two staples runs six pages and measures 6.875” x 9.5”. Separation starting along bottom seam, and creasing throughout. Small hole to top right of cover. Overall in very good condition. With Roger Epperson COA for all four signatures. A rare uninscribed Beatles concert program, signed at the cusp of their global fame. Sold for $9,375.
The Beatles signed fan club photo measuring 5.75” x 4”, signed in green ink by all four when Pete Best drummed for the band. Signed ”John Lennon”, ”George Harrison”, ”Pete Best” and ”Paul McCartney”, who also adds the inscription ”To Hank / Best Wishes”.

Very Clean, Exceptional Postcard with the Beatles Autographs — With COA by Beatles Expert Frank Caiazzo
Very attractive Fan Club photo card with The Beatles autographs; “Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” “John Lennon” and “Ringo Starr.” Each man signed his name in red ball point pen near his respective image. Photocard features a black and white photo of the Beatles, playfully posed circa 1963, and is in very good condition, unusually so for a card signed by all the band members. Official Fan Club signed cards are quite rare, as secretaries would often sign them them in lieu of the Fab Four themselves. Light spot of discoloration above Paul McCartney’s image and creasing to corners. The ink in Paul’s name also ran out as he was signing so the “tney” is not readily visible. Paper and tape residual to verso from being affixed to a photo album. Overall an exceptional, clean piece. Measures 5.5″ x 4.25″ With Frank Caiazzo COA certifying that the Beatles autographs are authentic. Sold for $8,400.
