1969: Radio Peace song from Lennon...

... goes for auction:
Quoting:
"(...) The duo also performed a short tune called Radio Peace. It was written as a theme song for a radio station, Mr Hoejen tells the BBC.

"The radio station was never opened and the song was never released," he adds. "To our knowledge the only place where this song exists is on our tape."

'A recording like this is rare'
The recording was made just months before The Beatles announced their break up.

Decades later Mr Hoejen realised he was sitting on a valuable item and put the tape in a bank vault.

Now the old-fashioned cassette is on sale at Denmark's main auction house, Bruun Rasmussen in Copenhagen, together with an original copy of the school newspaper and 23 photographs."

2019-03: Carta de Lennon sobre 2 Virgins vai a leilão

Lennon furioso com o tratamento do álbum com capa "supostamente ofensiva" (como ele próprio diz):
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/john-lennon-letter-yoko-ono-two-virgins-album-apple-emi-record-label-a8822261.html

Citando:
"Addressed to “Martin George of Rock Ink”, the auction house cites “noted Beatles expert” Perry Cox in affirming that the letter was sent to the late Beatles producer George Martin.

However, author Mark Lewisohn told The Times that he believes that Lennon was actually responding to the journalist Martin George, who wrote for “a magazine or a weekly underground newspaper called Ink”.


Referring to his and Ono’s 1968 album Two Virgins, Lennon writes: “Yoko and I got ‘Two Virgins’ out in spite of [which is underlined] being past owners of Apple. We made it in May and they f***ed us about till November! Then E. M. I. (who have the real control) wrote warning letters to all their puppets around the world telling them not handle it in any way (this after Sir Joe [Lockwood, chairman of EMI] had told us face to face that he would do ‘everything he could’ to help us with it – and asking us for autographed copies!!).
