One of the more coveted items in a Berkshire, UK auction sold for more than $20,000 dollars Wednesday (8/4). The lined yellow sheet of A4 notebook paper (photo) bearing the opening lines to LA Woman, the title song to the Doors last studio album got snapped up for $20,680. Early photos of all four Beatle members taken at their homes by a young fan (story) sold for about the same amount at another auction, shattering the pre-auction estimates that the collection would top out between $3 and $5 thousand. A piano from Abbey Road Studios used during sessions by the Beatles and Pink Floyd goes up for sale August 15 with an anticipated value more than 10 times greater than amounts bid for the lyrics and photos.
