I have not talked to the owner, just the seller (who is a trusted record dealer - but they have no knowledge about autographs). I have no reason to doubt it beeing from Sweeden in 63, but from my autograph experience I know «got it from the Beatles» not always includes them seeing it beeing signed.

The signatures aren’t consistent with any secretarials I’ve ever seen. Does it sound reasonable that the owner held onto it for 60 years and then consigned it to a record dealer that doesn’t deal in autographs? Any major auction house would be thrilled to have a fully-signed Twist and Shout EP.

It is not a good choice of dealer but it is not suprising. In Norway the knowledge about autographs are minimal, and if the seller has a big record collection for sale as well the dealer would be perfect to sell to.

What is the nature of this proof?   

Why does this welll known person have a "Rinigo" forged LP?

These appear as poor malicious forgery, not something signed on their behalf.

Rough calculations suggest that 200 hours under a certain UV lamp at a certain distance could achieve about 60 years worth of oxidation.
