Description
Thanks for looking at this auction... It's not very often that a combination as this is offered on Ebay... George Harrison signed only 2,500 copies of this totally out-of-print book. This is book Volume 1, #1141. Issued by highly respected Genesis Book of UK, and lovingly put together by them... (Genesis is such a class act that they are refusing, for the moment, to consider selling any future autographed Harrison volumes out of respect for Harrison's passing away... Quote from their webpage - "As a mark of respect for the passing of George Harrison, we are not accepting orders for Songs by George Harrison Vol 2 for the time being. We feel a period of reflection is appropriate. We are sure you will understand this decision"). This auction is obviously not for just anyone... If you are a true Beatles' fan, if you wish to possess a one-of-a-kind George Harrison authorized release and most importantly, if you wish the guarantee of a genuine Harrison autograph (you could take a chance with the 100's of fakes unscrupulous sellers post on the internet everyday). Genesis Books is known for its extremely high reputation of publishing high-quality, and making sure the buyer is obtaining a genuine autograph. Like in the tradition of companies such as Easton, Genesis books increase in value with each passing day. More book details: Item Description: Soon after publishing Fifty Years Adrift, Brian Roylance bumped into the very talented botanical artist Keith West, in the Natural History Museum in London. Keith was looking for work after uprooting from his native New Zealand to move to London to illustrate an American poster project which had been shelved. Brian suggested to George Harrison that Keith should do some trials to attempt to illustrate some of his song lyrics. George, impressed by Keith's botanical watercolours, agreed. Keith returned to his remote cottage in North Wales, unlocked his mind and a wealth of fantastical imagery began to emerge. The successful collaboration between George and Keith had begun. Soon Keith found himself travelling south regularly to discuss with George the interpretations of his song lyrics. Pencil sketches were submitted firstly for George's approval and from these the extraordinary finished paintings were made. Keith's brief return to New Zealand and to Australia, to promote the publication, hastened the selling out of the edition. 2,500 copies were bound in black, three-quarter leather with buckram box, autographed by George Harrison and Keith West. The Foreword of the book is by Jeff Lynne, the Middleword is by Elton John and the Backword is by George Harrison. The book also includes an exclusive CD which includes: Sat Singing (Recorded March 1980)Lay His Head (Recorded April 1980)For You Blue (Recorded live in Washington DC, December 1974)Flying Hour (Recorded March 1978) I have seen the CD alone go for up to $500 on the internet. As an additional bonus you will receive an autographed copy of Patti Boyd's (Harrison's ex-wife) "Wonderful Tonight". This book was also purchased through the UK broker TRACKS. Those of you who know your autographs also know that TRACKS is an extremely reliable source of autographed materials. The book does not include a COA, but I will include the TRACKS receipt certifying that it came directly from them. FREE Shipping/Handling/Insurance and limited to the 48 contigious states including Hawaii. Sorry, no Canada, Puerto Rico nor Foreign. If the item does not sell I might consider relisting and opening for foreign as I know that The Beatles had/have many fans in Japan. As stated, I realize that this is a high-ticket item, but as mentioned at the beginning of auction this auction is a one-of-a-kind item and intended for the discriminating Beatles' collector/fan... Thanks for looking! *Note: Have received e-mails requesting larger picture of actual Harrison autograph... I've added it to photo gallery below... Am willing to send it per request
