Beatles Fans Can Get Their Hands On A Piece Of The Band At The Ukrainian Institute
If the Beatles are the soundtrack of your life, then you won’t want to miss a memorabilia collection that could leave you with a piece of the band.
“It’s really something to see; it’s like a Beatles museum. It really is great,” Doug Joswick said.
“You can’t pass anything Beatles, of course, right? so we had to come to check this out,” Matt Greene said.
“It captures the entirety of the Beatles’ career,” said Dean Harmeyer, consignment director at Heritage Auctions.
Harmeyer gave CBS2’s Dick Brennan a tour of the items that were ready to go on auction at the Ukrainian Institute on East 79th Street, on Saturday.
Among the items up for auction is the first contract the Beatles ever signed. John Lennon, Paul McCartneyand George Harrison’s names are all there, but original drummer Pete Best’s name appears on the fourth line rather than that of Ringo Starr.
A 45-RPM record of “P.S. I Love You” with the band’s autographs is also on display.
