Autographed "Meet The Beatles" Sets World Record for ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com

Records are Meant to be Broken … Just the Price, Not The Record

Huntington, NY, December 25, 2006 --(PR.com)-- ItsOnlyRocknRoll.com sold a “Meet The Beatles” record album cover, autographed to George Harrison’s sister Louise with photographic proof for a World Record price of $115,228 including buyers premium.

"The LP, one of only nine documented U.S. released, authentically autographed by all four band members record albums to reach the market, included an incredible photo identification of Louise Harrison having it signed by Paul on the train en route to their first U.S. concert in Washington D.C." relates ItsonlyRocknroll.com president Marc Zakarin.

Frank Caiazzo, world recognized Beatles autograph expert added “Beatles autographed albums often sell between $20,000 to $75,000 depending on the album title, with ‘Please Please Me,’ the first U.K. LP being the most common. In fact, there has never been a confirmed ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ U.S. album authentically signed come to market.” Although you can find non authentic ones on the internet, Frank recommends that you do your homework before a major investment. The second highest priced paid for a set of Beatles autographs in the auction brought $29,610.00 for ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ signed LP. Beatles and rock and roll memorabilia has been growing steadily in value for years is now considered investment quality for the baby boomer generation, as much as Coca-Cola and IBM stocks.

Other highlights included a “Meet The Beatles” 1964 promotional display with moving Beatles heads for $28,879.00; a John Lennon and Paul McCartney signed check for $11,313.00; a Traveling Willburys’ commercially available guitar signed by band members George Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne for $10,899.00; an Otis Redding Boston concert poster selling for $17,552.00; a “Biggest In Person Show of 1956” concert poster featuring Chuck Berry and Bill Haley commanded $24,310.00; and a Nirvana MTV Astronaut trophy for “Best Alternative Video” from 1$993 sold for $11,272.00.
