THE BEATLES - MARCH 1964 SIGNATURES ON TOP OF THE POPS CAMERA SHEET WITH LYRICS.

A stapled two page camera script for the Beatles' performance of 'Can't Buy Me Love' on Top of the Pops, March 19th 1964. Signed to reverse by George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr with an inscription likely by George Harrison.

The two pages contain the complete lyrics for "Can't Buy Me Love" and includes the camera shots for each section of the song. A truly incredible and unique signed item from an iconic TV event. Pages measure approx 20.5 x 27.5cm. NOTE - it is the belief of independent authenticator Roger Epperson that John and George are authentic but that signatures of Paul of Ringo are likely by Neil Aspinall.

Provenance: The vendor's cousin was a make-up artist for BBC Television studios and made up the Beatles on March 19, 1964 for a recording session of "Can't Buy Me Love". While in their dressing room, she obtained the autographs for the vendor and their two sisters off of the lyrical music sheet used that night for the recording. Has been in the possession of the vendor since it was mailed to them by their cousin 60 years ago. Includes a letter of provenance from the vendor.
