“Money can’t buy me love”, the Beatles once sang, but a contract that helped launch the most successful pop foursome of all times commanded an auction price at Sotheby’s on Tuesday of 365,000 pounds ($553,121).
The contract that John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr approved on Oct. 1, 1962, confirmed Brian Epstein, sometimes known as the fifth Beatle, as their manager, and also brought in Ringo as their drummer.
It was the second contract the Beatles had signed with Epstein, a former record-shop owner who became enamored of the group after listening to them over and over at the Cavern Club in Liverpool.
