Liverpool Beatles-themed hotel to share 'lost' Lennon interview tape

Jun 24,2022 9:50 pm

A Beatles-themed hotel in Liverpool has bought a never broadcast interview with John Lennon at auction.

Trevor Vels, General Manager of Hard Days Night Hotel in Liverpool, paid £3,100 on Friday for the 1964 recording.

On it, Lennon tells 18-year-old Hull Art Student John Hill he does not think The Beatles are " very good musicians".

Mr Vels said The Owners " desperately wanted" The Tape and are looking at how best to share it with guests.

" We will be making real use of it, " He Said . " We currently play Beatles music so it may be, depending on The Sound quality, that we play The Interview through our sound system. "

Mr Vels said because they now own the copyright they are considering gifting copies of The Interview to guests.

" We want to spread the love in true Beatles fashion, " He Said .

The Lot also includes the recording machine, photographs and student magazine articles.

" We're planning to display everything in a cabinet in the lobby, " added Mr Vels.

Graham Paddison, of Scarborough-based David Duggleby Auctioneers, said the winning bid fell within the.

He added: " Of course, when you auction an item like this, you always have that secret hope that it will go through The Roof and make £15,000. On this occasion, however, it didn't happen. I'm very pleased, though, that it's going to be enjoyed, not lost in a private collection somewhere.

" It's fitting that it's going to Liverpool. "

Mr Hill, who was studying at Hull Art College, recorded the reel-to-reel interview before a Beatles gig after bluffing His Way into The Room where the Fab Four were talking to The Press . He found The Tape in 2014.
