This signed sheet music is for Like Dreamers Do by The Beatles, autographed by the band’s original drummer Pete Best, making it a rare and historically valuable collectible. Written by Paul McCartney in the late 1950s, Like Dreamers Do is one of the earliest Beatles originals to be professionally recorded. In 1962, the band performed it during their audition for Decca Records, with Pete Best on drums. Though Decca famously rejected the Beatles after that session—a decision often called one of the biggest mistakes in music history—the recording of Like Dreamers Do survives as an important artifact of the group’s formative period. The song itself would later be officially released in 1995 on Anthology 1, giving fans a glimpse into the youthful songwriting of McCartney before the band’s global breakthrough. Pete Best (born 1941) served as The Beatles’ drummer from 1960 to 1962, performing with the band during their early Hamburg residencies and Cavern Club shows. His tenure with the group was crucial to shaping their sound in the years leading up to fame. Although he was replaced by Ringo Starr shortly before The Beatles signed with EMI and recorded Love Me Do, Best’s contributions during their pre-fame years remain a key part of their history. His presence on the Decca audition tapes—including Like Dreamers Do—cements his legacy as an essential figure in the Beatles’ origin story. Owning this signed sheet music for Like Dreamers Do is more than a collectible—it’s a piece of Beatles pre-fame history tied to one of Paul McCartney’s earliest compositions and Pete Best’s role in the band’s rise. For Beatles fans, collectors of early rock memorabilia, and admirers of the band’s beginnings, this artifact represents the uncertainty, ambition, and promise of The Beatles before they changed the world.
