Pulled signed "White album" at Bonhams

Does anyone know why the partially-signed "White album" was pulled from Bonhams sale this week?

It was signed by three of the Beatles, including John and Paul. Not totally sure of the third but I think it was George. The estimate was a whopping £80 - 100k.

If anyone copied an image of it before it was pulled that would be interesting to see too. It doesn't appear to be in the pdf catalogue and is not in the relevant department's auction preview either.

Frank stated that the Ringo was an Aspinall.

I don’t think it was the seller’s decision as far as Bonhams is concerned. Steve is probably right that Bonhams didn’t want to correct the description, and instead basically handed money over to another auction house. It doesn’t make much sense to me. I’ve seen worse mistakes than missing an Aspinall Ringo when there’s no George signature.
