LONDON (Reuters) - 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)
