Micheal Ward Photo

I own a signed copy of this photo. I know it was taken on Feb 19, 1963 in Liverpool. Curious if anyone has any more info on it. I’ve only seen two other copies and they are both signed. I think they were signed a few days later at the Oasis Club performance. Any info appreciated.

I believe this was shot on their way down to the photo shoot that Micheal Ward was hired that day for Associated Newspapers and some shots ended up in his book A Day in the Life - https://www.genesis-publications.com/book/9781905662036/a-day-in-t

You are right Kevin. When I owned a gallery in Zurich I had the pleasure of organising an exhibition of Michael's photographs at the time his autobiography "Mostly Women" came out. He was a very nice man and made the effort to come over for the preview despite being very frail. Your photo is a re-touched press photograph.

The autographs look pretty early. There are many contributors to this forum who are much better qualified to opine on them but my guess would be genuine.
