PROFILES IN HISTORY To Auction Off JOHN LENNON's "LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS" Handwritten Lyrics & More
PROFILES IN HISTORY HOLLYWOOD AUCTION 44 MAY 14 & 15, SABAN THEATER, BEVERLY HILLS
John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to be auctioned off by Profiles in History, run by Joe Maddalena, on May 14 & 15 at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, CA. John Lennon's draft of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" contains the opening lyrics to the song that was first inspired by his son Julian's nursery school drawing that he called by the same name (contrary to the belief that the title had a hidden reference to the drug LSD). Along with the lyrics are designs for the album cover and some "rocking horse people," and it is estimated to sell for $200,000 to $300,000. The song is regarded as one of the best songs from the Sgt. Pepper album that is regarded as one of the most important albums in the history of popular music.
Profiles in History Hollywood Auction 44 will have some of the most highly coveted cultural memorabilia to ever reach the marketplace. In upcoming releases we will detail esteemed film director Frank Darabont, world-renowned poster artist Drew Struzan and special effects and makeup wizard Greg Nicotero's donation of their lots' proceeds to the Red Cross for Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims.
