Hollywood Bowl Press Pass Hollywood Bowl, North Highland, Ave. Los Angeles, California August 23, 1964

The above is a press pass issued to allow the press and other bearers access to the Beatles after their performance at the Hollywood Bowl. So far, this is one of five known copies of this pass to exist. This piece was recently discovered and acquired from a relative of a record industry executive that was prominent back then.

Note: The term "known copies" used by collectors denotes a level of rarity. Some items were issued in limited quantity originally. Other items are rarer because of diminishing quantities over the years and still others are limited just due to their condition (example: "only 10 mint copies" are known to exist). Soon after I posted this press pass I have been contacted by other people informing me of 4 other copies in various conditions. This number might continue to grow. If you have one please leave me email at bpentium@eskimo.com

Update: It has been a over a year since I've had this page up and many people have contacted me letting me know that they have these. Obviously they are not as rare as I originally perceived them to be.
