The drum kit used for the recording of the band’s first US number one has been put up for auction with bidding beginning at $75,000 (£60,598).The kit was used by Andy White, often known as the ‘Fifth Beatle’, on the recording of Love Me Do, which became the band’s first number one in the US.

Fans of the celebrated band, which formed in Liverpool in 1960, could now own the famed Ludwig drum kit which helped the rock band make a name for themselves across the pond.
