Anything for a (Beatle) Buck-Part 2
All I can say is “Money Can’t Buy You Love”. However, I have stayed at a Holiday Inn.
THE Beatles may have wanted to hold your hand, but now you can hold one of the Beatles’ hands.
As part of Bek Devlin’s World’s Greatest Shave, she is auctioning off a signed George Harrison framed hand cast.
The cast, which comes with a certificate of authenticity (complete with pic of George doing the imprint), was taken in the Williams pits during the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix in 1995.
The piece is number 8 of 500 and is a rare commemoration of the guitarist, who died in 2001.
The cast will be sold on eBay, with the auction concluding at 16:48:55 AEST April 1 (to be precise).
Bek’s locks will come off during a glam ASMF cocktail party at The Advertiser’s new home, Keith Murdoch House, on April 7. There are still tickets available for the event – have a look at the story on E-Type Jazz for booking details.
Interested in the cast? Head to www.ebay.com.au and search for George Harrison.

Sounds to me like a cast of the original cast……number eight of an addition of 500. If it is not the original cast it means that at some future time additional casts can be made. As in prints, the more casts the less the value. (the Spanish Government is still striking prints by Goya….now in the thousands.)

I agree with Anon…. I don’t think George stuck his hand (or hands) in concrete 500 times…. Just think what that would do to your manicure!…. Is it a right or left hand?….. Looks as if someone is just looking for a hand-out….[quack-quack]…..

MR,When I said “Anything for a buck” I certainly didn’t mean George. I meant all the profiteers.

I didn’t mean George either – I meant the Bek dude who wants a “Hand-Out” for a “Hand-In” some concrete…..
