Brian Epstein autograph letter signed to Lennon. Called the ”Fifth Beatle,” Epstein managed the Fab Four before his untimely death in 1967 at age 32. Two years prior, in this letter dated 21 December 1965, he writes upon his personal BE stationery, in full, ”My Dear John, Just to thank you for taking so much trouble with the selection – I’ve kept them all and am quite [?]. Only inclusion I’d fault is the cliff – but I can keep it for P.J.B.’s visit! Have a good Christmas and a Happy New Year – thanks again. Brian”. Single page letter measures 7” x 9”. Toning, creasing and mild foxing with fading to the text on the right half of the page, overall very good. Sold for $2,578.
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.
