The Beatles -- Contract that Bound them together ... Up for Auction

The world would never have enjoyed and been influenced by The Beatles if they didn't sign this contract ... at least that's what an auction house wants you to believe.

It's actually pretty awesome ... a 1962 agreement between John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Star and their manager Brian Epstein.

The contract give the legendary Epstein wide-ranging power ... authority to choose clothes, make-up and presentation of the group. It also gives the group power to boot a member if 2 or more want them out.
