Beatles Signatures on a Swedish Press Pass (Obtained at the Eskilstuna Sporthall on October 29, 1963)
Vintage ballpoint signatures, “Beatles, Ringo Starr,” “George Harrison,” “John Lennon,” and “Paul McCartney,” on the reverse of an off-white 4.5 x 3 press pass for the newspaper Tidningen Folket, issued to a journalist for a reserved seat at the Beatles concert that took place at the Sporthallen in Eskilstuna, Sweden, on October 29, 1963. In fine condition, with small areas of surface loss. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter of provenance from the original recipient: “Autograph obtained at the Beatles concert in Eskilstuna Sweden 1963. I was there with 2 friends 13 years old. My father worked at the concert and he took us backstage to meet them and get the autographs.”
Months before Beatlemania swept across the United States with the band's legendary performance on the Ed Sullivan Show, the Fab Four traveled to Sweden for a five-concert tour that showcased an edgier side of the Beatles, injecting standard rhythm and blues with a frenetic punk pace and attitude. Despite their popularity in Sweden, The Beatles were second on the bill to Joey Dee and the Starliters, however, the band's television appearance on Drop In, and their subsequent seven-song set at Stockholm's Karlaplansstudion, quickly secured their status among Swedish audiences.
