2025 Autograph Live Beatles Band-Signed Album Census

Autograph Live's first Band-Signed Beatles Album Census was in 2011.

Our second was in 2016. (A few were added to it since then.)

It's 2025—time to update it!

Let's add what we know has been discovered since 2016, and make sure nothing was missed or duplicated in the 2011 and 2016 ones.

We'll start a separate price census too.

Once we're comfortable with the information we have, we'll formalize the census so collectors and dealers worldwide cab make better decisions on Beatles album sales and purchases.

These are the results of the 2016 census:

It's sad so many fakes are out there. It makes collector's stop collecting.

It makes others seek education and more education. That is one reason we now know who Mal Evans, Neil Aspinall (those were not malicious), Joe Long, Billy Smith, even "Andy Peters" are. And who they are not.
