Lot 61: 1966 Beach Boys Signed Capitol Records Contract

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $500.00
Winning Bid: $791.78
Price Realized: $946.18
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

This Capitol Records contract signed by the Beach Boys on March 1, 1966, came at their peak, yet it also prefaced the band's downfall -- coming just as a drug-blitzed and deranged Brian Wilson was going into self-imposed exile in his bedroom, dooming any hopes Capitol had for followups to "Good Vibrations." The one-page sheet is an addendum sent to Capitol exec Nick Grillo by the group's management, Julius Lefkowitz & Co., is signed by Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson and their cousin Mike Love. Signatures are NRMT in either black or blue ballpoint, on the designated lines above their typed-in names. Brian's left-handed signature is particularly valuable, as one of his last, before going bye-bye for 7 years. The 8.5x11" sheet is EX, with some little edge tears on the left side, and punch holes at the top from being kept in a binder. LOA.
