A huge (27.5″ x 39″) and spectacular poster used produced by Telstar, the Beatles Swedish record company, to promote the group’s 1963 tour of Sweden. This is the version made for the Swedish Beatles Fan Club.

The text, in Swedish, reads Europe’s by far most popular pop band. With their “Twist and Shout” hit, they’ve experienced a comet-like career, arriving to Sweden for the first time with their fantastic stage-show which everywhere places the audience in a state of ecstasy and at the bottom Europe’s pop band number one.

The poster is in excellent condition and has been archivally linen backed to protect it.  While originally sent machine folded, the creases are virtually unnoticeable on this example, as is a small tear to the bottom left edge.  A very small number of copies of this poster were printed with specific tour dates across the white stripe where the Beatles fan club logo is (see second image, for reference only).  A copy with a tour date in similar condition would sell for $15,000- $20,000.

A superb Beatles poster, absolutely stunning in person.
