For the next 10 days, eyes raised to the skies above Los Angeles’ famous crossing of Hollywood & Vine will see something new and unusual: a giant, one-of-a-kind Beatles flag flying high atop the landmark Capitol Records tower. The unique, 12-foot by 18-foot flag was raised by Ringo Starr.
The world’s only official Beatles flag will
remain raised above Capitol Records until next
Friday, November 16 to celebrate today’s release
by Apple Corps Ltd./EMI of The Beatles’ classic
1965 film ‘Help!’ on DVD, digitally restored with
a newly created 5.1 soundtrack.
A charitable auction, benefiting The
Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Foundation,
launches on eBay today at 3pm PST. The auction
lot includes the ‘Help!’ flag, bearing the
classic artwork of The Beatles’ 1965 movie, a
luxurious trip for two to London, England and a
deluxe, limited edition ‘Help!’ DVD boxed set.
Beatles fans around the world can place bids now
until 3pm PST on November 16, 2007, when the
listing ends. All bidders will be pre-qualified
through Kompolt Online Auction Agency (http://www.kompolt.com/).
In addition to becoming the proud owner of the
unique flag, accompanied by a Certificate of
Authenticity personally signed by Ringo Starr,
and a limited edition ‘Help!’ boxed set, the
charity auction’s top bidder and a guest will
enjoy a special VIP tour of world-famous Abbey
Road Studios while on holiday in London.

All proceeds from the charity auction will

Therapy Foundation. For more information, visit
