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，一张带有披头士乐队所有四名成员签名的专辑封面以超过11.5万美元的高价被拍卖，这张签名专辑是披头士乐队送给乔治·哈里森（乐队主吉他手）妹妹的礼物。
ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com拍卖网站的总经理马克·扎卡林说，这一价格创下了披头士签名专辑公开拍卖价的新纪录。加上买家支付的佣金，这张专辑的实际拍出价为115228.82美元。
这张名为《遇见披头士》的专辑是披头士乐队在美国由国会唱片公司发行的首张专辑。哈里森的妹妹路易西上周五将它拍卖，起价为25000美元。
哈里森写道：“献给路易西，爱你的哥哥！！”下方是他的签名。约翰·列侬是这样写的，“献给路易西，深爱你的约翰·列侬。”保罗·麦卡特尼和林格·斯达尔也表达了同样的感情。签名时间是1964年，当时乐队四人正乘坐火车赶往在华盛顿举行的一场演唱会。
