The band you've know for all these years

Look what is back!    It is the signed Sgt. Pepper album obtained by friend of this blog, Carole in 1967.     On June 23, 1967 she got Ringo, Paul and John (who didn't sign his last name!!!) to sign the inside of her Sgt. Pepper album in the parking lot of EMI.    This has gone up for auction a few times over the years.    It would be amazing to own, especially since I have talked to the original owner, but alas I can never afford it.  But if you can---go for it!   Up for auction now from RR Auctions.  

Tracking down Pepper

On June 23, 1967 the Beatles were working on the song, All you need is love.    And three of them signed the inner sleeve of their latest LP, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.    A fan named Carole was a regular outside of EMI during that time and she asked John, Paul and Ringo to sign them album for her.  She was unable to get George signature on the album.    John just signed "John" with a kiss next to his name.   That is how things were when a Beatle actually knew you, I guess.

This autograph (along with the two photos of Paul and Ringo signing the album) are up for auction.  I am sure that you have read on other blogs that Tracks in England is having a really awesome auction next month.   They have a ton of great stuff from collections of people like Pete Shotton and Buddy Dresher as well as some of the fans that you read about right here (like this album that belonged to Carole).    So many things that I wish I could afford!    You can drool over the amazing items if you click here.   Just a word of warning---I spent about 2 hours looking at stuff this evening.  

The 1967 Pepper Sessions

It is strange how I get some of the fan photos I have obtained. Let's see if you can follow this one. A couple of weeks ago someone who is a friend of mine on facebook had a friend who posted photos of his Beatles collection. Even though I didn't know this guy, I clicked on his Beatles collection photos and looked at them. One of the item in his collection was an Beatleg LP called "The 1967 Pepper Sessions." From his small facebook photo, it looked like the cover had fan photos that I didn't have on it along with a few that I did have. So...I went to the bootlegzone to see if I could find more about the album. Well....they had the cover in a high quality large photo, so I took that photo and then cropped the Beatles fan photos that I didn't have out it. I also posted the two photos in their complete version that I already had, the one of John in the stripped pants is one of Lizzie's photos (I believe she took the photo...but it is one of my top 5 favorite John photos of all times).

Do any of you have this album?? It supposedly comes with a large booklet. Can someone check out that booklet for me and see if there are any more fan photos inside??
