This collectible signed sheet music is for (Just Like) Starting Over by John Lennon, autographed by world-renowned guitarist Earl Slick. Released in October 1980 as the lead single from Lennon’s Double Fantasy album, (Just Like) Starting Over marked Lennon’s triumphant return to music after a five-year hiatus devoted to family life. Blending rock ’n’ roll nostalgia with contemporary pop polish, the song quickly climbed the charts. Tragically, Lennon was killed just weeks after its release, and (Just Like) Starting Over became his final single issued during his lifetime. It went on to top charts worldwide, symbolizing both a heartbreaking farewell and a reaffirmation of Lennon’s enduring genius as a songwriter. Today, it stands as one of his most poignant and historically significant works. The autograph on this piece belongs to Earl Slick (b. 1952), a celebrated guitarist who played on Double Fantasy and was an essential contributor to Lennon’s late-period sound. Slick had already made a name for himself as David Bowie’s guitarist on Young Americans and Station to Station, and his raw, expressive playing made him a natural fit for Lennon’s return to recording. His collaboration with Lennon remains a highlight of his illustrious career, alongside decades of work with Bowie, John Waite, and other rock greats. By signing this sheet music, Slick provides a direct connection to the musicianship behind Lennon’s last great chapter. This signed artifact bridges Lennon’s final creative statement with the artistry of one of his closest collaborators. For collectors of Beatles memorabilia, Lennon enthusiasts, or fans of classic rock history, it is a rare and meaningful treasure that captures a turning point in music history.
