And finally… off the record
A rare early Beatles single has been sold at auction for thousands of pounds.
The 1962 demonstration record contains the band’s hits Love Me Do and P.S. I Love You.
The single is one of only 250 in the world.
The record failed to sell at the auction yesterday after being estimated to sell for between £7,000 and £9,000.
It failed to meet that threshold, but an undisclosed offer near the lower reserve price was accepted after the auction, BBC News reports.
