Julian Lennon – Valotte

Here is a nice print item that I was able to acquire for a reasonable price. After the early 70’s it became impossible to be able to afford a handwritten Beatles lyric as the prices went upwards in leaps and bounds as people were becoming more aware of the possibility that the Beatles might never reform.

After December 8, 1980, the fan-desired possibility became non-existent and very few people can afford a handwritten Beatles lyric after 1980. 

When Julian Lennon released his excellent debut LP in 1984, I made a decision that if any of his handwritten compositions ever made it to the marketplace, I would attempt to purchase one as I love his work. I was able to acquire the handwritten lyrics to Julian’s song “Valotte” at a Las Vegas auction as well as a signed Valotte album cover. Julian had donated his handwritten lyrics to the Nordoff-Robbins charity to raise funds for children with disabilities.

Julian has a warm heart and that is demonstrated through the many beautiful melodies he has written and released over the years. I am very grateful that I was able to acquire these lyrics.
