Why don't you like it Sara?

The B is unusual but the entire pen flow and pressure is correct. The o and dot and numbers are correct

Overall it has the right feel to it

IMO

I do not like "B" never saw something like this. And number "7". I just do not like it, it does not mean it is not genuine or something. I am absolutely not good as Eric and Mark. :-)

Hi Sara, 1976 was a highly experimental period. This is the creation of the "BO--° 76" signature - the base form of which would remain. You can see the start of the paraph, and the connector between the 7 and the 6 can be found is his handwriting (written lyrics/letters etc).
