The Beatles' handwritten 'Hey Jod' lyrics are sold at auction for $ 9,910,000

According to the auction house Julian's Auction, the auction house "The Jude" by artist Paul McCartney's hit song "Hey Jod" was sold on Friday for $ 910,000. The Vintage Bass Drum Head with Beatles logo, used during the English band's first North American tour in 1964, was another high-end item, sold for $ 200,000.

 The items were included in more than 250 items of the Beatles memorabilia presented at the online auction by Julian's Auction on the 50th anniversary of the band's breakup. An image of John Lennon and wife Yoko Ono called Bigism, a term he coined to mock stereotypes that sold for $ 93,750, while Fab Four at Abbey Road Recording Studios in London The ashtray, used by K drummer Ringo Starr, cost 32,500.

 The wooden stage of the smaller Liverpool venue where the band performed before firing rockets at $ 25,600. Before the sale, Jason Watkins, a music expert at Julian's auction, called MacCartney's quickly-edited notes extremely rare and valuable for a 1968 studio recording of "High Jude." "It's obviously a very popular song that everyone is familiar with," said Watkins. "Typing lyrics used when recording in the studio as a guide." The auction house said the sale was for sale online and at Hard Rock Cafe, located in Times Square, New York.
