An album cover signed by all four Beatles as a gift for George Harrison's sister has sold at auction for more than $115,000.
The sale was believed to set a record price for a signed Beatles album purchased at a public sale, said Mark Zakarin, president of the online auction company ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com. The exact price, with the buyer's commission, was $115,228.82.
Bidding began at $25,000. The copy of "Meet The Beatles," the band's first US release on Capitol Records, was put up for sale by Harrison's sister, Louise. The sale was held Friday.
Harrison wrote above his signature: "To Lou with love from `Brother'!!" John Lennon's inscription read, "To Lou many love from John Lennon X." Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr expressed similar feelings when all four signed the album cover while aboard a train to Washington for a 1964 concert.

日前，一張帶有披頭士樂隊所有四名成員簽名的專輯封面以超過11.5萬美元的高價被拍賣，這張簽名專輯是披頭士樂隊送給喬治·哈里森（樂隊主吉他手）妹妹的禮物。
ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com拍賣網(wǎng)站的總經(jīng)理馬克·扎卡林說，這一價格創(chuàng)下了披頭士簽名專輯公開拍賣價的新紀(jì)錄。加上買家支付的傭金，這張專輯的實際拍出價為115228.82美元。
這張名為《遇見披頭士》的專輯是披頭士樂隊在美國由國會唱片公司發(fā)行的首張專輯。哈里森的妹妹路易西上周五將它拍賣，起價為25000美元。
哈里森寫道：“獻給路易西，愛你的哥哥??！”下方是他的簽名。約翰·列儂是這樣寫的，“獻給路易西，深愛你的約翰·列儂。”保羅·麥卡特尼和林格·斯達爾也表達了同樣的感情。簽名時間是1964年，當(dāng)時樂隊四人正乘坐火車趕往在華盛頓舉行的一場演唱會。
