A uncommon pocket book that includes handwritten lyrics and recording notes from hit songs by The Beatles is about to go on show at a museum in Liverpool, England.
Collated from 1967 to 1968, the beforehand unseen pocket book comprises preliminary handwritten lyrics for "Hey Jude" by Paul McCartney, a part-lyric for "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Membership Band," and George Harrison's recording notes for "All You Want Is Love."
It comprises doodles by all 4 members -- John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Star -- and divulges a few of the inspiration behind the seminal rock band's 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Membership Band," in addition to their self-titled file "The Beatles" launched a yr later.
The pocket book belonged to the group's tour supervisor Mal Evans, in keeping with a press assertion from The Beatles Story museum, the place the pocket book can be exhibited from February 2022.
Mal Evans' widow, Lily Evans, put the pocket book up for public sale at Sotheby's in 1998, over 20 years after her husband's demise in 1976. It was bought to Liverpool businessman Alan Murphy for £100,000, the museum confirmed to CNN.
Born in Liverpool, Mal Evans turned The Beatles' highway supervisor in 1963, and was a part of the band's "trusted interior circle," the press launch stated.
He appeared in Peter Jackson's 2021 docuseries "The Beatles: Get Again."
Fashioned in Liverpool in 1960, and breaking apart in 1970, The Beatles' legacy far outlasts their 10-year run as one of many world's most influential rock bands.
The award-winning group earned 19 No. 1 Billboard Scorching 100 hits throughout their profession, in keeping with the Grammy Awards web site.
They swept the music trade by storm with era-defining album covers, genre-defying data and Beatlemania -- the time period coined to explain the fanatical hype surrounding the band.
Band member Paul McCartney has since collaborated with artists together with Stevie Surprise, Rihanna and Kanye West.
