John Lennon and Yoko Ono This highly prized collectible comes with a full page handwritten letter of authenticity from one of the most noted “in person” collectors of musical autographs. His name is Pete Connolly of New York. Pete, is one of the original “in person” collectors who is very well known in the hobby amongst his peers. He is the collector who supplied many of the legitimate galleries with guitars and other musical instruments signed by many of the rock and roll notables. Many of the Stars know Pete by his first name. Pete’s handwritten letter of authentication and original envelope comes together with this album. Pete writes: “John Lennon & Yoko Ono-2 Virgins. This album was obtained in person by myself on Oct. 9, 1977 outside The Tavern On The Green Restaurant in New York for a birthday party for John and his 2 year old son Sean. John was holding something in his hand so he scrawled his inscription and signature ‘To Jule’ which he has done on other occasions for other autograph seekers. Jule may be his way of love for his son Julian or one can use their imagination especially in the case of John. Shortly afterwards Yoko signed: “Yoko Lennon NYC 77”. I certify that the above is a true statement and both autographs were obtained at that time, place and date and are genuine and signed in front of me. Sincerely, Pete Connolly.” Pete Connolly was recommended to me by Mike Frost, the ex-President of the old IACC/DA and an old friend of Pete's. Frost stated that Pete is one of the original in-person collectors and if anyone wants high end items signed by the likes of Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan or the Beatles, Pete is the guy to deal with. Most of the items I purchased from Pete went to other dealers. My favorite was a harmonica signed by Bob Dylan. The record and album cover are in fine condition. The album jacket shows a little wear. A remarkable collectible..................$9,500.00     |
