Description
Beatles - Paul, John, George, and Ringo signed hand printed lyrics "No Reply" on their Apple Corp LTD Header/stationary. Four large bold signatures of the Fab Four. John Lennon began writing "No Reply" in May 1964 while in Tahiti, where he was on holiday with his Beatles bandmate George Harrison and their respective partners, Cynthia Lennon and Pattie Boyd. Once back in London, Lennon finished writing the song with some assistance from Paul McCartney. On 3 June, after the Beatles had completed the recording for their album A Hard Day's Night, they taped a demo of the track at EMI Studios. In the description of author John Winn, the performance was lighthearted, with Lennon and McCartney joking as they sang. Ringo Starr had been hospitalized earlier that day and was therefore absent for the recording. The demo was then passed on to Tommy Quickly, a singer who was signed to NEMS, the agency owned by Beatles manager Brian Epstein. By late September, Lennon and McCartney were stuck for new material for the Beatles' new album, and since Quickly had not issued a recording of the song, the Beatles decided to reclaim "No Reply" and record it themselves. According to the liner notes for Beatles for Sale, the song was a candidate for the band's next single before it was supplanted by "I Feel Fine". Professionally custom matted and framed. Comes with a Letter of Authentication from Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA), along with the GFA guarantee of authenticity.
