The Beatles: an early 1960s autograph book, containing a tipped-in page featuring the signatures of George Harrison, Ringo Starr, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, each in different coloured pen, the signatures being obtained at The Adelphi in Slough, on November 5th, 1963, when the band played there for the second time that year. The book also contains further signatures of the period, to include Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones, Dusty Springfield, Julie Grant, Peter Asher, Phil May (The Pretty Things), Brian Hyland, Tony Jackson and John McNally (The Searchers).
The vendor handed in a card at the door of the Adelphi for the Beatles to sign, when attending the concert. It has been with her ever since. She recalls that the concert took place the night after the band had performed at the Royal Variety Performance and met the Queen Mother, who had asked them where their next concert was, and Paul McCartney replied, simply, 'Slough'.

The vendor and her friends had taken along the banner shown in the photos, and posed for press photographs with it before the concert. She added it into her autograph book herself soon after the concert.
