Lot 457		(The Beatles) Handbill for John, Paul, George & PETE. Extremely rare 5 x 8" handbill, one of the few extant from their first year with the name "The Beatles."

Pete Best was the Beatles' early drummer, who would be let go on August 16, 1962 and replaced by Ringo Starr. The group was appearing "every Saturday at Aintree Institute" in Liverpool. Red print on cream paper. Folded twice with a bit of foxing. An exceptional, early Beatles handbill. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $1,840
Lot 458		(The Beatles) "Hey Jude" LP. 1969 Capitol Records prepared compilation of singles, known as "Hey Jude" or "The Beatles Again," which was released in February 1970.

Lot 459		(The Beatles) John Lennon's "Imagine". An unusual version of John Lennon's 1971 classic album. This is a set of two one-sided metal acetates of the album which have Apple Records (New York) labels. Apple acetates themselves are highly collectable, but what makes this set odd is that the acetates are not 12" in diameter; they are 14"! Also unusual is that they actually have the matrix numbers of the released LP scribed in the trail-off area, along with a Bell Sound logo. Most acetates do not have any trail-off markings. Largely scribed around the outer perimeter on each acetate are the words "Apple (for Capitol)." A sensational Lennon artifact! Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
