Beatles 1963 Signed "She Loves You" Parlophone Swedish 45 Record Sleeve (Caiazzo)

All four Beatles have beautifully signed the back of this Parlophpone picture sleeve for their 45 record single "She Loves You"(with "I'll Get You" on the B Side) in black ballpoint pen. Signatures include John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The front and back of the sleeve was separated for display purposes. The sleeve measures 7 x 7 and both front and back have been matted and framed to measure 23 x 17 with a small plaque that says "The Beatles Autographed Swedish RPM Picture Sleeve "She Loves You" October 24, 1963". The song was released in the UK on August 23, 1963 and in the U.S. in September 16, 1963. "She Loves You" became the first Beatles record to sell well in continental Europe and led to a Beatles tour of Sweden in late October 1963, which is probably the date this was signed that is referred to on the plaque. Ex Christie's sale, still has Christie's tag attached on the back. Frame itself shows some wear. Comes with a letter of authenticity from Beatles handwriting expert Frank Caiazzo and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
