Yet another piece of Beatles memorabilia is scheduled to go up for auction. This time it’s the first management contract between The Beatles and Brian Epstein, and it’s expected to fetch $500,000. The document, billed as the most important music contract of all time, belonged to Epstein. He became the band’s manager in 1961, but the contract wasn’t signed until 1962 because Epstein wanted to give the boys the option to walk away if he didn’t make good on his promise to get them a record deal and a number one hit. The contract also features the names of Harold Hargreaves Harrison and James McCartney, giving consent on behalf of their sons who were under 21. It is being sold on September 4 at The Fame Bureau’s It’s More Than Rock and Roll auction at the Idea Generation Gallery in London.
