That forgotten Beatles recording we reported on last week has sold at auction for £9,800, just shy of the £12,000 top estimate, at an auction at Berwick-based Cameo Auctioneers.
The 30 minute reel-to-reel tape made in 1964 was found by a man as he sorted through his father's possessions after his death and features eleven original songs and cover versions. Amongst the songs is a cover of 'Don't Put Me Down Like This' by American soul singer Derek Martin, thought to be the only Beatles recording of the song, and a recording of Paul McCartney and John Lennon breaking into fits of laughter as they fail to play the song 'I'll Follow The Sun' correctly after three attempts.
