Beatles LP sells for $115,000

From the Associated Press

An album cover signed by all four Beatles as a gift for George Harrison’s sister has sold at auction for $115,228.82.

The sale, to an unidentified buyer, was believed to set a record price for a signed Beatles album purchased at a public sale, said Mark Zakarin, president of the online auction company It’s Only Rock ‘N Roll (www.itsonlyrocknroll.com).

The copy of “Meet the Beatles,” the band’s first U.S. release on Capitol Records, was put up for sale by Harrison’s sister, Louise. Her brother and his bandmates signed it in 1964 on a train to Washington for a concert.
