An album cover signed by all four Beatles as a gift for George Harrison's sister has sold at auction for more than $115,000.
The sale was believed to set a record price for a signed Beatles album purchased at a public sale, said Mark Zakarin, president of the online auction company ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com. The exact price, with the buyer's commission, was $115,228.82.
Bidding began at $25,000. The copy of "Meet The Beatles," the band's first US release on Capitol Records, was put up for sale by Harrison's sister, Louise. The sale was held Friday.
Harrison wrote above his signature: "To Lou with love from `Brother'!!" John Lennon's inscription read, "To Lou many love from John Lennon X." Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr expressed similar feelings when all four signed the album cover while aboard a train to Washington for a 1964 concert.

這張名為《遇見披頭士》的專輯是披頭士樂隊(duì)在美國由國會唱片公司發(fā)行的首張專輯。哈里森的妹妹路易西上周五將它拍賣,起價為25000美元。
哈里森寫道:“獻(xiàn)給路易西,愛你的哥哥!!”下方是他的簽名。約翰·列儂是這樣寫的,“獻(xiàn)給路易西,深愛你的約翰·列儂。”保羅·麥卡特尼和林格·斯達(dá)爾也表達(dá)了同樣的感情。簽名時間是1964年,當(dāng)時樂隊(duì)四人正乘坐火車趕往在華盛頓舉行的一場演唱會。
