1964 Beach Boys - Real autographs?

Hello all, this is my first post.

My collecting interests are with 78 rpm and wind-up phonographs and general antiques.

Covid-times has me sifting through my stuff and I rediscovered this Beach Boys publicity image. I bought a box of 78s at an estate sale about 15 years ago. The box had several LPs in it too, the following was tucked inside a jacket.

Note the printed misspelling of “Allan”, at bottom.

I did some googling to find that the above dates from 1964.

I read that they performed in Salt Lake three times in ’64, at Lagoon Amusement Park. I also gathered period signatures. Couldn’t find anything useful about Broadway Music or if the Beach Boys ever appeared there.

In the course of googling, I discovered this forum.

My background is in advertising and I can tell you what I see.

This 10” x 8.5” black ink printed image on white pebble textured paper.
I assume it was printed locally by Broadway Music.
The widest signature is Brian Wilson at 2”.
The signatures are pen to paper. A varying ink flow can be seen in all signatures. Also, some faint impressions can be seen on the back of the page. I’ve shown the strongest as an example.

I’m in need of your expertise on these signatures.

Here are enlargements of the signatures for your review.

Who do you think wrote this?

Thanks for your help!

It seems like the Town Square is were the real action is.

I posted the following (my first post) in the Music section of this forum.

I don't know if it has even been seen, so I've moved it here.

Thanks for looking it over.

James.

Moved it back to the Music section.

At least it with the other Beach Boys posts.

I had hoped for more conversation about this. Oh well, I have decided to put this on ebay and we'll see what happens. It ends in nine days if anyone reads this.
