George Harrison wrote \u201cHere Comes the Sun\u201d in the spring of 1969 while sitting in Eric Clapton\u2019s garden, playing Clapton\u2019s guitar\u2014taking what he later described as a \u201cmental health day\u201d from Apple\u2019s increasingly toxic business atmosphere. It became the opening track of Side Two of Abbey Road,<\/em> and one of the most beloved songs in the entire Beatles catalog, Harrison\u2019s gentle optimism cutting directly against the tension that was tearing the band apart in its final months. The yellow paper and Yellow Submarine illustration give the piece an additional visual coherence that makes it genuinely display-worthy.<\/p>\n

This is among the most significant Beatles documents to surface on eBay in recent memory: an original 8.5\u201d \u00d7 11\u201d cue sheet from the Beatles\u2019 final Ed Sullivan Show appearance in 1965, signed by all four members. The inscription is personal, penned by Ringo to \u201cDebbie and Carl,\u201d placing the signing in a specific private moment that separates it from fan-event signatures.<\/p>\n

The 1965 Sullivan appearance was a defining event in Beatles history for several reasons. It was the performance at which McCartney debuted \u201cYesterday\u201d as a solo acoustic number\u2014the first time a Beatle had performed entirely alone on stage, backed by a string quartet. The set also included \u201cHelp!,\u201d the title track from their second feature film. By this point the band had completed their final American tour, and their relationship with live performance was already shifting toward the studio work that would define their late period. A cue sheet from this specific night is a primary document from one of pop music\u2019s most consequential evenings.<\/p>\n

Authentication is by PSA\/DNA\u2014the industry\u2019s gold standard\u2014with official hologram, matching Letter of Authenticity, and full PSA encapsulation. Two of the four signers are gone. The window for pieces like this closed permanently decades ago.<\/p>\n

The Teenage Cancer Trust concerts at the Royal Albert Hall are among the most celebrated annual charity events in British music\u2014McCartney\u2019s 2012 appearance was one of the highlights of the series. A run of 100 signed lithographs sold exclusively through the charity website makes this genuinely scarce, and the MPL COA is among the most credible provenance documents available for McCartney signatures\u2014issued directly by his own production company. At this price, a numbered, charity-issued, MPL-authenticated piece in mint condition represents strong value for the category. 💛<\/p>\n
