Who would even forget the “Fab Four?” Well, there are some, and those were not from their generation who doesn’t have any idea about 1960’s English rock band that includes John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
Beatles, as what I’ve heard from most of the adults, was the best-selling band in history and a renowned music artists in over four decades. Now, it seems like their songs are playing because of a single handwritten letter of Paul McCartney offering a Beatles audition to a mystery drummer has sold for nearly 35,000 pounds ($55,400) at Christies’ auction house.
The note, that was found folded in a book at a Liverpool yard sale, offered an audition to someone who had advertised their availability in theLiverpool Echo newspaper four days earlier. The unsigned ad said simply: “Drummer_Young_Free.”
The letter was dated Aug. 12, 1960 — two years before the band bounced drummer Pete Best in favor of Ringo Starr.
Christie’s said a European buyer made Tuesday’s 34,850 pound winning bid over the phone.
