Promotional Discography Poster Appraisal

The Beatles 'Rock 'N' Roll Music' Capitol Records Promotional Discography Poster

This is a large-format vertical promotional poster released by Capitol Records, likely dating to 1976 to coincide with the release of 'The Beatles Rock 'n' Roll Music' compilation album. The poster features a black background with a multi-colored neon-style border design. The top section displays 24 classic Beatles album covers under the 'Rock 'N' Roll Music' banner. Below this, four distinct color-coded sections represent the solo careers of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, showing their respective album releases up to the mid-1970s. The piece is approximately 18x36 inches, though exact dimensions are obscured by the silver-toned metal frame. The graphics utilize a high-contrast printing method typical of mid-70s music industry promo materials. In terms of condition, the poster appears well-preserved behind glass with no visible signs of foxing, water damage, or significant fading, although there is a slight reflection on the surface from the camera flash. The colors remain vibrant, particularly the pink, teal, and orange borders. The layout serves as a comprehensive visual discography and was originally intended for record store display rather than public sale, making it a desirable piece of Beatles ephemera.
