If you bought it off ebay, then just file a refund request, or same thing if you paid via regular paypal (i.e. not as friends and family).  Either way you should get your money back.  If it was a private sale, it could be another matter.

Its definitely not genuine - not even close. As for "Les Evans" - ask him which building he was based in (there was only one office in West London). There was only one Les that worked there in the late 70's and 80's but his surname was Molloy.

Hi Simon

Something REALLY smells (as much as his fake signed record) about that biog above apart from the spelling errors. In the 1970's Virgin Records Retail consisted of 2 stores - one in Notting Hill and the other in Oxford St. In other words, there was never a "number of record stores" until after 1983 when the Megastores grew in prominence. Certainly the era his "biog" refers to above there were only 2 Virgin record shops.

Secondly, George Martin was a perfectionist who employed musically trained and qualified engineers - not record pluggers at Abbey Road.

I could go on but as I say - this man is a conman! End of story. Demand your money back...

Think I might have upset him lol just received this email

Hello Simon

 I note the content of your email 

 Firstly I worked for over 50 years in the music industry and to this day I still have many friends within the music world. I also was a collector of autographs from the age of 10 and I spent many years from that age and all through my teenage years in concert halls and rehearsal studios with my father and my uncle who are both well known  session musicians in the 50s and 60s

 All the autographs I have ever collected and ever sold are 100% genuine signed in person for me, so to be totally clear there is absolutely no possibility or question of any matter of authenticity 

 You say you’ve had items checked by an expert! 

 If this is the case  please provide me with their name address and telephone number if they have made this assertion in writing please forward me a copy of any letter or email 

 If they have stated that any of my items are not genuine take immediate legal action against them as I can 100% prove the authenticity of any item I have ever sold 

 Just for your information there is absolutely no such thing as an expert in this field, it is totally and utterly impossible and ridiculous to suggest that you can look at the signature on an item many many years after was written and claim  do know if it was genuine or not.   Anyone who makes this claim is either a liar or a fool and to be honest in my experience they are usually both, the only way to know if an autograph is genuine is to have been there and seen it signed  which is the case for me and all of my items 

Sincerely 

Les Evens
