Beatles Drum Cashes In

And you thought vintage vinyl was worth something. Imagine owning the drum from the Sgt Peppers album cover shoot.

If you did you would be a million dollars richer. It sold for 1.1 million dollars at auction (Christie’s in London) to an anonymous buyer. Hand-painted and 41 years old, the drum sold more than Lennon’s handwritten lyric sheet of “Give Peace A Chance.”

I think I’d want the Peace lyrics more. More meaningful — especially in these times.
