Beatles Band-Signed Extended Play (EP) Record Census—Now in Progress!

We've taken two censuses of band-signed Beatles albums, but we haven't done one for Beatles-signed EPs yet.

Band-signed Beatles albums are rare. Only about 15-16 US release Beatles-signed albums are known, and only about 113-120 UK releases. 75 or so of those are "Please Please Me," the Beatles first album.

No doubt there are more that haven't reached the autograph market yet, but these numbers are a good indication of their rarity.

Beatles band-signed Extended Play records (EPs) are much, much rarer. Only 10 or less may be known.

Let's account for them title buy title, with sales histories and images that can be found.

Let the census begin!

It's a scam site with forged and reprinted autographs.

I don't think there has been much mention of Sgt. Pepper albums. I'll upload four that I found (one of which is an honorable mention since it's missing Harrison, but 3 out of 4 is close enough!). Now, what am I missing? Are there others out there?

In order of upload:

1. Heritage, $290,000

2. R and R, $179,000

3. Bonham's, $92,000

I was wrong in my previous post - this is missing Lennon, not Harrison

4. R and R, $39,000 (Missing Lennon)

The Bonham Sgt. Pepper, the one that Lizzie Bravo's friend sold a couple years ago, went for less because Ringo's signature isn't period, it's late 1990s. Still a fantastic piece.

I think it would have easily brought $150,000+ if the Ringo was from 1967-mid-70s.
