The Beatles Signed Picture Book Page.
Beatles band members Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and early drummer Pete Best have signed this color book page featuring the lads in front of the famous Star-Club, in blue felt-tip marker.

The Beatles are regarded as the most influential band of all time and were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and the recognition of popular music as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways. The band also explored music styles ranging from folk and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionized many aspects of the music industry and were often publicized as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Their profound influence on the music industry, and the world's population, cannot be lauded enough, they simply were the best. The awards and accolades that the band as a whole, and each member as a solo artist after the band broke up, is too long to list. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988,
