Title: Vintage 1964-1966 Beatles Tour Program Collection (4-Booklet Matching Set, including US & UK for 1964 books) – All Originals
Up for sale is a rare, complete chronological set of original 1960s Beatles souvenir tour booklets. These have been personally kept in protective sleeves in a smoke-free home since the early 1970s. This is a fantastic opportunity for a collector to acquire a complete run showing the physical evolution of the band’s tours.
Included in this Lot:
1964 Beatles (U.S.A.) Ltd. Program (US Edition): Authentic thinner paper stock variant. Features black-and-white interior portrait pages by Robert Freeman. The mail-in fan club coupon on the back page was neatly cut out by the original 1964 owner.
1964 Beatles Ltd Program (UK Edition): Authentic British variant on premium heavy glossy paper stock. Features the printed "7'6" price marking on the cover. Includes a minor, charming printer's ink transfer smudge on the upper right corner of the first inside page (a common mid-60s analog printing quirk).
1965 Beatles (U.S.A.) Ltd. Program (US Edition): Authentic original featuring the iconic full-page "Things Go Better With Coke" advertisement on the inside back cover. The mail-in fan club order form square has been cleanly clipped out from the inside.
1966 Beatles (U.S.A.) Ltd. Program (US Edition): Authentic original from the band's final concert tour. Features a clean, ad-free exterior back cover and the tiny original corporate credit reading "Copyright ©1966, The Coca-Cola Company" on the inside back cover margin.
