Add Items to CartBeatles super-fan waits 30 YEARS to get Ringo Starr's autograph on LP, doubling its value A BEATLES fan who got John, Paul and George to autograph his Sgt. Pepper album doubled its value after waiting 30 years to add Ringo's name to it. BONHAMS/BNPSPaul Minett got three of the Fab Four to sign the inside cover of the famous album after spending hours waiting outside their Abbey Road recording studio in 1967. Unfortunately drummer Ringo was not there and so his name remained absent from the LP. But patient Paul finally completed the set when he was able to get Ringo to sign it in 1997. 

It is thought there are just 10 Sgt. Pepper albums signed by all four Beatles that exist in the world. Paul's album has been valued by auctioneers at a whopping £40,000.It is believed that without the crucial fourth signature it would fetch just £15,000.GETTYHad Ringo been in attendance that night in 1967 and signed alongside his band mates, the record would now be worth up to £80,000.Paul, a 68-year-old semi-retired scriptwriter from Aylsham, Norfolk, has had the LP gathering dust in a draw for a number of years and has now decided that now is the Moen Two Handle Kitchen Faucet Cartridge Replacementtime to sell up.Diy Led Light Bulb 110vHe said: "I had always thought it was a shame that I didn't get Ringo's autograph all those years ago and knew that it would be of great value with him in addition. Land For Sale Bray Ok

PAUL MINETT/BNPSPAUL MINETT/BNPS"I had to wait 30 years for it but it was worth it in the end." Paul was aged 19 when he had his chance encounter with the Beatles a few weeks after Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released in 1967. He was aware the group were mixing All You Need Is Love at Abbey Road studios in north London in preparation for their Our World live charity broadcast. Paul, who lived in London at the time, went to the studios with his new record tucked under his arm. He and a friend were among about 25 giddy fans who waited outside for a glimpse of their idols. At around 10pm they filed out one by one and happily mingled with the crowd and signed memorabilia. Paul said: "It was amazing, you could hang around right outside the studios while the band were recording inside. "We waited among the other fans, who were mainly excitable girls. "We spotted Lennon walking out and managed to get his attention. "Then McCartney came out and said hello, followed by George. 

It was great to finally get all four signatures after all these years "They were great to interact with, as long as you were polite they were very easy going." The album remained more or less untouched for the next 30 years. In that time, due to his work in television which included writing scripts for the Two Ronnies and Kenny Everett, he made friends with a TV producer, Nick Sercombe. Due to Nick's connections with Terry Oates, whose company were representing Ringo at the time, it was arranged for Paul's original copy to be signed by Ringo. The signature is perfectly placed and matches up well with his the original autographs, which is an important factor for collectors. Paul added: "It was great to finally get all four signatures after all these years." A spokesman auctioneers Bonhams, which is selling the LP, said: "It's very rare to see this particular album signed, as the Beatles became more famous they became more inaccessible. "There are not many signed albums from this period. 

"To have all four signatures is vitally important, it makes all the difference to collectors and dealers. "It's incredible good fortune that he was able to keep hold of it for 30 years, in such good condition, before completing the set of autographs." Paul's signed copy of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band will be auctioned in London on Wednesday.SO this is all I can remember about meeting the Beatles.A Miami chauffeur asks, “Are you here for the Beatles?” I think he’s talking about a flea circus. My grandfather Ed Sullivan is known for introducing animal acts.My brother and I are following my father down a corridor at the Deauville Beach Resort. There are porthole windows overlooking the street below.I know now that the Beatles aren’t a flea circus. I know they’re important (my father has informed me) and I’m a little nervous about meeting them. I’m only 6, after all. I think we’re heading into a dressing room when my father opens a door.It opens to a huge ballroom.

Technicians are getting ready for the show my father, Robert Precht, is about to produce. It is a week after the Beatles made their debut on my grandfather’s show. This performance, set for Feb. 16, 1964, is their second appearance. Only Paul is wearing a blazer. The others are wearing white terry cloth shirts.I take note: I am wearing lace-up Keds. They are wearing sneakers without laces.I have short hair. Theirs is long, long, long — practically covering their ears! It’s sound check time. My father seats my brother and me in the audience a few rows back.The Beatles start playing “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”It’s the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.There are other things I can mention:Seeing them again at Shea Stadium the next year. “The screaming was so loud,” I’d tell my friends between playing “Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” “you couldn’t hear a thing.” Making out, a few years later, with girls who would emerge breathlessly to ask, “Did you really meet the Beatles?”

Making my answer short and sweet.The biggest moment of my life came 40 years after that momentous occasion: having a son, whom we named after my grandfather.He knows about the Beatles because I drill it into him. Otherwise, he couldn’t care less.I am a public-school teacher who, in my own loopy way, is carrying on the legacy of live television that my father and grandfather helped pioneer. Recording myself getting “kettled” by riot police officers at Occupy L.A. Live-streaming protests — Diane Ravitch addressing teachers about threats to public education, a student mike-checking the school reformer Michelle Rhee — because the country seems to have lost its way and filming people protesting seems like the only thing to do.Maybe having the Beatles on his show seemed like the only thing to do, to my grandfather. The country was reeling after Oswald shot Kennedy. It needed something to sing about. But white-knuckling my seat at the Deauville hotel — that’s what I remember best.
