Lennon lyric sheet sells for $1 million



Fri Jul 29,11:29 AM ET

A handwritten lyric sheet for "All You Need is Love" used by John Lennon in 1967 was sold for 600,000 pounds ($1.04 million) at an auction in London on Thursday, organizers said.

The manuscript was part of a pop memorabilia sale featuring clothes, paintings and musical instruments from Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and others.

The "All You Need Is Love" lyric sheet was used by Lennon during a television performance by the Beatles and could be seen on film footage dropping to the floor after the song was performed, said a spokesman for auctioneers Cooper Owen.

A girl working for the BBC at the time retrieved the manuscript from beneath Lennon's music stand. She provided a letter of authenticity for Thursday's sale.

"The atmosphere really was quite something, especially when the manuscript was sold for 600,000 pounds," a Cooper Owen spokesman said. The buyer's identity was not revealed.

A military-style tunic worn by Lennon that inspired the Beatles' famous "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" record cover fetched 100,000 pounds.

A pair of Lennon's trademark round wire spectacles was sold for 55,000 pounds. ($1=.5751 Pound)
