Beatles, The/contracts Aug 66

Question
Hi Chalk,  
I have been fortunate enough to come across page two of an original contract signed by all 4.  I am trying to find page 1 to determine what type of contract it is.  The page two reads;

bond by our said letter of consent, dated 11th day of May 1965 as same may apply to the said agreement between WORLD, KING, and NEMS dated 24th day of August 1966.  

Then there are 4 lines below, with each member signing on their respective lines(Ringo signed with Starkey as his last name).  

Any ideas would certainly help !

Thanks
Brett  

Answer
Hi, Brett,

You're probably in possession of a fairly valuable piece of memorabilia, so be careful with it. Lots of people are tempted to sell this sort of thing on eBay - nothing wrong with that, but you should have it verified first, which is what you're trying to do. (I'm not suggesting that you want to sell it, by the way).

Sorry, but I can't help you at all with your question in detail, i.e. what the first page might be, but I will say that there are companies who do this kind of verification professionally. But beware of sharks!

I've been to Google for you to get you started. Try searching - not only in Google - with this search term: "verification Beatles memorabilia" or variations of it.

Good Luck,

Chalk.

Experience

There was something in Paul's voice when he sang the phrase "Love Me Do" at the end of the verses that told me everything in Pop was going to change, and it did! I left my first band (which I had founded), partly because the other members thought I was a bit weird to want to change our style to reflect that of the Beatles! As a rock musician, I appeared with them in the ABC Theatre in Blackpool, England in 1963, and my songwriting has always been influenced by theirs.
