Beatles: Unheard John Lennon and Yoko Ono interviews sell for £38000

A set of previously unheard interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, in which they discuss his favourite Beatles songs and their famous bed-ins, have been sold at auction.

Canadian journalist Ken Zeilig recorded 91 minutes with the couple on three separate occasions in 1969 and 1970.

It is believed only five minutes of the tapes were ever aired, in the 1980s.

The tapes beat expectations to sell for £38,000 on Tuesday to a Dutch buyer who remains unknown.

The interviews, which were conducted around the time of the couple's two bed-in protests for peace, covered a broad range of subjects, from the upcoming release of The Beatles' Abbey Road album and the future of the band and their Apple record label to the "War is Over" movement and their efforts to clear the name of James Hanratty, who was hanged for murder in 1962.
