Documents Related To The Disbandment Of The Beatles Found Again After 50 Years Of Hidden
JAKARTA - Documents containing records of the disbandment of The Beatles, which are full of conflict, have been found and will be auctioned off by Dawsons Auctioneers next week.
It is known that the document consists of more than 300 pages typed, compiled by advisors and legal representatives of the four Beatles personnel.
Denise Kelly as a representative of Dawsons Auctioneers said the documents were used by lawyers during the harsh legal process, resulting in the Beatles' official farewell in 1974.
"I can't stop reading it until I finish reading every page of it," Kelly said, citing the BBC on Wednesday, December 4.
Kelly admitted that he had read the documents, and could better understand the current conditions.
"When I read the minutes of the meeting - a note that includes discussions between legal teams and accountants - I wonder how they will solve everything. And sometimes I can feel panic in that room, as more and more complexities are revealed," Kelly said.
"One of the lawyers even suggested during one meeting when they kept circling: 'Will it be easier if The Beatles just retire?'" he added.
It said the document was found in a cupboard, lying untouched since the 1970s. The auction house did not reveal where the records were found, but stated that the records were found last year.
"It crossed my mind, if I were a scriptwriter, these documents would be the only thing I needed to tell a true story about what caused one of the best-selling bands in history to disband and separate," he said.
The auction will take place in Maidenhead, England on December 12. It is estimated that the documents will be sold in the range of 5,000 - 8,000 (Rp 101 million - Rp161 million).
