Rare Beatles items to go on sale in Liverpool

An auction featuring rare and unusual items is set to attract Beatles fans to Liverpool later this week.

The event at the Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts on Saturday (August 28th) will see a porcelain lavatory once owned by John Lennon at his Berkshire home Tittenhurst Park go under the hammer.

Attendees are expected to bid up to £1,000 for the toilet, while a rare mono-sound copy of Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1968 album Two Virgins could fetch up to £2,500 from Beatles enthusiasts.

"It must be one of the rarest Beatles solo albums to come up for auction," said Stephen Bailey, organiser and manager of Liverpool's Beatles Shop.

The auction will also include a small harmonica that once belonged to Lennon's son Julian and a photograph of Sir Paul McCartney outside his family home, aged 21.

A host of Beatles tribute bands will be performing for free in Liverpool during the upcoming Mathew Street Festival, which takes place on August 29th and 30th.
