SOLD: Paul McCartney signed RUBBER SOUL album cover [$1,300] – Macca finally (and thankfully!) autographs departing city after two days in Toronto
August 16, 2010 by Brad Byrne ·
It was with great anticipation when Paul McCartney brought his “Up and Coming” tour to Toronto, Canada for two sold-out Air Canada Centre shows on Sunday, August 8th and Monday, August 9th.
It was Paul’s first trip back to Toronto in five years and the Sunday night concert was only Macca’s 10th show in Canada as a solo artist since 1976.
And that anticipation was met as a rash of autograph collectors and their crews descended upon Toronto all in hopes of achieving that coveted Sir Paul signature. Unknown to most, McCartney actually arrived in the city late Saturday afternoon and rehearsed at a venue close to the ACC. While McCartney was pleasant with a smile and wave to the few collectors present at this practice venue – he didn’t sign any autographs on the way in or out.
When McCartney arrived back to his Toronto hotel after the first show – There was just too many people for Macca’s people to even consider him signing.
It would turn out that McCartney would only sign once for the hounds on that trip to Toronto, and that’s just before Paul exited the city at the private airfield after the second show. While close to 100 collectors raced to meet Macca, he ended up signing for just over a quarter of them – and they were some very nice signatures indeed.
And I and some helpers were fortunate to get some nice items signed. Like this Capitol Records issue of the Beatles, RUBBER SOUL. While this album shows some wear it is considered one of the most critically acclaimed releases in the Beatles discography. Paul McCartney beautifully signed the album cover in black sharpie after the show in Toronto.
A NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS OF PAUL SIGNING: HoundsTV always strives to provide photographic proof of our celebrity encounters. Paul McCartney can be difficult to shoot on some occasions. Most times, Paul’s security requests NO PHOTOS be taken when Paul is signing for the collectors. As the presence of cameras has disrupted signings in the past and to respect the wishes of Mr. McCartney – photos of Paul signing can be rare. But we have got them many times before.
