NOTES

This is one of the two dozen acetates previously belonging to Brian Epstein that were offered for sale by the Bonham's auction house in March 1997. They had remained with Brian's mother 'Queenie' until 1978 when she gave them to prolific Beatles collector Gareth Pawlowski. This disc was unsold in the auction and I can only assume that the reserve was not met. The pre sale estimation of value was £3,000-5000, so if the reserve was based upon this estimate I am not surprised that it did not sell.

In 2004 a disc was offered for sale at the Its Only Rock And Roll auction in New York with a description of 446 Beatles – ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ acetate / test pressing belonged to Brian Epstein 1964 starting price $15,000.

If any one has a copy the 29th June 2004 catalogue of can provide more details would be interested, but I doubt there were any bids at a such a high starting price.
