The ones on the back are fine....from April 5, 1962 at the Cavern Club in Liverpool. They were about to travel to play at the Star Club in Hamburg...it was when they arrived they found out that Stu Sutcliffe had passed away on April 10, 1962. This was "Beatles Fan Club Night". They wanted to thank the kids for all their support before they went off the Germany. The first set...they wore their leather clothes, and for the second set, their wore their new Beno Dorn suits.
This guy was great!
I posted last week and got two very good feedback answers..
Thanks Steve - hope all is well!

Hi Steve,
I came across your site as I purchased an item at a fund raising auction. It is a double cd signed by ACDC with a couple of photos
Th certificate of Authenticity shows it put together by Coolworld Collectables. I got this in 2010-11 and it has been on a wall without any sunlight or heat at all. The signatures have totally disappeared making it worthless.
Can you suggest any course of action i can tke?
thank you
Loretta Pearson
this is not allowing me to comment or list

I'm forced to sell everything I've bought over the years.
Regards,
Jorge
