New York, Dec 28: An album cover signed by all four Beatles as a gift for George Harrison's sister has sold at an auction for more than $ 115,000.
The sale, to an unidentified buyer, was believed to set a record price for a signed Beatles album purchased at a public sale, said Mark Zakarin, president of the online auction company ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com. The exact price, with the buyer's commission, was $ 115,228.82.
Bidding began at USD 25,000. The copy of 'Meet The Beatles,' the band's first US release on Capitol Records, was put up for sale by Harrison's sister, Louise. The sale was held on Friday.
Harrison wrote above his signature: "To Lou with love from 'Brother'!!" John Lennon's inscription read, "To Lou many love from John Lennon X." Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr expressed similar feelings when all four signed the album cover while aboard a train to Washington for a 1964 concert.
