For those of our readers who have any old Beatles memorabilia gathering dust in that garage or attic, you might want to consider that long overdue cleaning project you’ve been putting off. As the following news item proves, there may just be gold in those dusty and dirty old boxes.
A recently discovered rare recording by the Beatles, which is believed to have been recorded in 1964, was just sold for $23,446 (including taxes and auction fees) to an undisclosed buyer at a London auction held by Cameo Auctioneers, according to published reports. The tape, which was discovered in an attic in Northern England, runs about thirty minutes and contains several songs, including an apparently botched version of “I’ll Follow The Sun,” which finds both John Lennon and Paul McCartney breaking into fits of laughter at various points. “I’ll Follow The Sun” was eventually released on the 1964 album Beatles For Sale. In addition to “I’ll Follow The Sun,” the tape features several other songs, including “Don’t Put Me Down Like This,” “I Feel Fine,” “She’s A Woman,” “Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby” and “Honey Don’t.” The other tracks include “I’m A Loser,” “Too Much Monkey Business,” “Nitty Gritty,” “Something’s Gotta Hold Of Me” and “I Shall Not Be Moved.” As we reported just a few weeks back right here in the CB Music Friday Flash, other Beatles memorabilia has also fetched the big bucks in recent weeks. The original drumhead used on the Beatles landmark Sgt. Pepper album fetched a whopping $1.1 million a few weeks back. Meanwhile, at the same auction, the hand printed lyrics for John Lennon’s “Give Peace A Chance” sold for the bargain price of $834,000. RELATED: beatles
