“Long-lost notes relating to the acrimonious break-up of The Beatles will go under the hammer next week. More than 300 pages of typed documents, compiled by the Fab Four’s various advisors and legal representatives, were found in a cupboard where they had lain untouched since the 1970s. Denise Kelly, from auctioneers Dawsons, said the ‘fascinating’ papers were used by lawyers during an acrimonious High Court legal battle which resulted in the band’s official split in 1974. The papers will be auctioned on 12 December in Maidenhead and are expected to fetch between £5,000 and £8,000. Online bidders will be able to participate. Dawsons did not reveal where the notes had been found, only that they had been discovered within the last year.” (12/02/24)
