AutographLive will be buggy tonight while we test code we're developing for it. Everything should work fine within the next 3-5 hours.

Lennon - signing in another name 1964?

Here is a curio.

This is supposed to be a copy of "In His Own Write" signed by Lennon as "Attenborough Des Island 1964".

I can see a bit of Lennon in the "Des Island 1964" but not really in the "Attenborough" part (which hardly looks like Attenborough anyway).

Desert Island Discs has been a famous UK radio show since 1942 (!). Richard Attenborough appeared on it several times, once in January 1964. Lennon never appeared on it, though Macca and Yoko did - on separate occasions I hasten to add!!! Obviously "In His Own Write" only came out in March 1964.

Any thoughts - other than that I am crazy for wasting everyone's time on this?

Doesn't look like John's handwriting to me and in particular for 1964, his signature wasn't as smooth then.
