Могли бы кстати, репринтное издание сделать альбома с рисунками и текстами Леннона-школьника. И чтоб оформление - один в один. Уверен, многие бы приобрели.

Stuart Sutcliffe's & John Lennon's "Elvis Presley" Album

A disc of historic significance, for sure, is this original first U.K. pressing of "Elvis Presley" on RCA Records. It's anyone's guess as to how many hundred's of repeated plays this record received, but judging by the rough condition, Presley's influence upon the sixteen-year old Stuart Sutcliffe is obvious; an impact that extended to his friend and future bandmate, John Lennon. On the reverse of the album jacket, Sutcliffe has boldly printed his first name in black marker; and, below 'Presley,' has written his name in blue ink (somewhat obscured and faded). The disc and cover are quite distressed.
Pauline Sutcliffe related to us the story of how she came into possession of her brother's album in the mid-1990's: "...when I was still working as a consultant family therapist, journalist Maureen Cleeve contacted me to consult on an article she was writing...and after the interview she suddenly produced Stuart's album, then said "John Lennon lent it to me when I interviewed him for an article I wrote that appeared in the London Evening Standard on March 4, 1966, which resulted in the 'more popular than Jesus Christ' worldwide controversy...John said he borrowed it from Stu...I always wanted to return it...I guess it's never too late." A well-travelled album, indeed!

John Lennon Owned Caviar Container


One of the more unusual Beatles-owned pieces of memorabilia we've had the good fortune to be able to offer has to be this caviar container dating to John Lennon's years at Kenwood, his home in Weybride, Surrey. According to the LOA, John and Yoko "regularly had caviar delivered to Kenwood from 'Fortnum & Mason's. We were employed as haulage contractors by The Beatles betweeen 1967-70 and the item was given to us by John Lennon during this period." The glass, possibly porcelain, container is embossed with the logo and London address of Fortnum & Mason on the top, while the side of the container shows a sturgeon. The container's maker, Crown Devon Fielding's of London is embossed on the bottom. 2.75" diameter 2.25" high.

John Lennon Quarry Bank High School Attendance Register


1954-55. A most unusual Beatles collectible is this "Register of Attendance" from Quarry Bank High School. The young Lennon's tenure at Liverpool's Quarry Bank High School between 1952 and 1957 was somewhat less than auspicious. Along with schoolmate and best friend, Pete Shotton, the pair, according to the school headmaster, E.R. Taylor, were "very disruptive, always causing trouble, were often disciplined by caning and were continually punished with detention." Uninterested in studying, the pair were at the bottom of the academic ladder. It wasn't until 1956 that the new headmaster, W.E. Pobjoy recognized some promise in Lennon as both a musician and artist. He arranged for John to attend Liverpool's local art college when he left Quarry bank in 1957. And to his credit, even allowed the Quarry Men to perform at a July '57 dance.

During the 1954/55 school year, the 14 year-old Lennon missed 12 days according to this official school register of attendance, with half of that total coming in November on successive days. Lennon's full name...John Winston Lennon, admission #2980, date of birth...9 10 40, and address...251 Menlove Ave. Woolton, is written in black fountain pen on the inside front page. 10.75 x 15.25" with middle fold and dog-eared corners, worn spine, and some separated pages.

График концертных выступлений на стадионе Ши летом 1965 года. Афиша.

1965. Without question, the most famous, most important and certainly, most historically significant Beatles concert was their August 15, 1965, appearance at New York’s Shea Stadium; the concert setting new standards as to the way popular music was promoted and perceived by the masses from that point forward.

It was Brian Epstein’s vision to hold concerts in large outdoor venues on The Beatles 1965 summer tour of North America; a vision Epstein shared with promoter Sid Bernstein during the 1964 summer tour “…next time we come to America we will play and fill outdoor stadiums.” The Beatles played their thirty-minute, twelve-song set to nearly 60,000, mostly screaming, hysterical fans at Shea; the benchmark event ushering in the age of “stadium rock” during the height of “Beatlemania” in America. John Lennon, in conversation with Sid Bernstein, exclaimed “…You Know, Sid, Shea Stadium…I saw the top of the mountain.” The Beatles, figuratively, did see the top of the “mountain” as they were transported to Shea Stadium by helicopter from the Manhattan waterfront, flown over the city, then to the roof of the World’s Fair building adjacent to Shea; the final 100-yards to the stadium tunnel accomplished via Wells-Fargo armored truck; some of the aerial action captured on film and seen on ABC-TV in the one-hour documentary special “The Beatles At Shea Stadium.” In the process, the concert set world records for attendance (55,600), gross receipts ($304,000), and performer’s share ($160,000); the television special also garnering notoriety as being the first event of any kind (live or in the studio) to be filmed with eight cameras; further proof that The Beatles were setting new standards at every turn!

Сейчас 84-летний Рекс Мэйкин – живая легенда Ливерпуля. Именно он уговорил первого менеджера The Beatles Брайана Эпштейна подписать с молодыми музыкантами контракт, согласно которому в случае провала Эпштейн не понес бы убытков. Кроме того, Мэйкину приписывают изобретение термина "битломания".
