Long-lost interview when John Lennon claims 'Beatles not very good' sells for £3000

The tape was made by student John Hill in 1964 when he sneaked into a press conference to record the chat but it was never broadcast

John Lennon claimed The Beatles were not very good musicians in a lost interview that has now sold for £3,100 at auction.

The tape was made by a student in 1964 and never broadcast.

John Hill was 18 when he sneaked into a press conference to record the chat – and then forgot about it.

He found the tape in 2014, after it had been in a drawer for 50 years. On the recording, John, then 24, said he would ­“probably just have been a layabout” if he had not become a Beatle.

He admitted he had been failing at college and revealed: “Some other lads did my exams for me.”
