Welcome to the Beatles Sheet Music Collector's Site. On this site you will always find a great selection of Beatles Sheet Music for sale.
Collecting Beatles sheet music has become very popular and prices have soared, but there are still many bargains to be found if you are patient.
Prices for original items can vary from $20 to $200+. These prices are of course for unsigned items -
any original Beatles sheet music item signed by one or more of the Fab Four will command a much higher price.
Original near-mint/mint copies are always more in demand - quite simply, the better the condition, the higher the price is likely to be.
It is highly desirable to find sheets without price stickers, music store stamps or written annotations by musicians!
On this site you will find 1960's First Editions with stunning artwork, many scarce items, as well as excellent songbooks and compilations at bargain prices!
A Beatles Sheet Music item makes a great gift for any Beatles fan, and looks impressive in a frame!
On this site you will also find top tips for collectors of Beatles sheet music.
Finally, for reference, we have also included a complete list of Beatles songs.

Useful Notes for Collectors of Beatles Sheet Music U.S.A. Editions
Early titles were printed in theh large 12" x 9" format.
Publishing companies included Gil Music Inc., Concertone Songs Inc., Duchess Music Co., Jobete Music Inc., and others.
In 1964, when Charles Hansen Publishing began printing all Beatles sheet music in the US,
they used a more common 11" x 8.5" format. A smaller number of sheets were also printed in a 7" x 10-1/2" format.
Charles Hansen Publishing released the sheet music under three names: Charles Hansen Publications, Keys, and Sheet Music Institute.
Sheets printed between March of 1964 and August 1967 have the Keys logo, some sheets printed between October 1965 and May 1970 have the Charles
Hansen Publishing wordmark (or logo), while some sheets printed between October 1967 and September 1969 have the Sheet Music Institute logo.
Nearly all of the original Hansen sheets have a print code, date code and stock number printed on the sheet. The stock number from 1964 to late 1966
appeared on the front page - and the print and date code on the back. The stock number and print code after 1966 were both printed on the back page with the date first,
followed by a letter code (meaning not determined at this time) and sequential stock number. An original sheet would usually have a date code that is close to the
original release date of the song title. However, there are some examples of original sheets having later dates. ALso, there are also examples where later
reprints of a number of original sheets all have the '9999' stock no.
Reprints from 1966
Sometime in late 1966 Hansen Publishers relocated from Florida to Chicago.
This is evident with pre-1966 sheets that have a publishing date of late 1966.These sheets, while not the first printings,
tend to be considered original by collectors for the purposes of authenticity and value.
1968 Reprints
The entire pre-1968 catalog was reissued in 1968 with a generic line drawing of the Beatles which was first used on the Hello, Goodbye (12/67) sheet.
1970s Warner reissues
The rights to publish Beatles sheet music was transferred to Warner Brothers in the mid-1970's.
All the Warner sheets were released with plain covers and no date information.
These sheets tend to have little or no value to collectors.
1980s Hal Leonard Corporation reissues
IN the 1980's Hal Leonard Corporation reissued some of the Beatles' more popular sheets, usually with plain covers.
Again, hese sheets tend to have little or no value to collectors.
Top Tips for Sheet Music Collectors
Preserve your old sheet music. Don't just stash it away in a closet.. Many original items are fragile sheets of paper - tears and creases can happen all too easily.
Take the time to place it in plastic sheets and cover it in a hard ring binder.
This will keep the paper out of sunlight and preserve the quality of the music, thus keeping the value intact.
