Provenance - Obtained by the current vendor by descent. Originally owned by Pete Brownett. In July 1963 before they went global, The Beatles started their British tour by spending six consecutive nights at the Odeon in the seaside town of Weston-Super-Mare. During this time, the town became the fab four's home and many famous photographs of the band were taken on the beach and various locations.
All four signatures were obtained on the Thursday of that week by Pete Brownett. Pete had just got his first job as a photographer, and one of his first assignments was to photograph the Beatles. 
Please see the film in the link, and interview with Pete explaining that momentous occasion and how he acquired the signed record.
