The Beatles – ‘Til There Was You’
A 10″ acetate of an early demo by the Fab Four featuring the songs ‘Til There Was You’ and b-side ‘Hello Little Girl’ (misspelled on the record as ‘Hullo Little Girl’) was discovered languishing in the attic of one Les Maguire, a fellow Liverpudlian who had somehow come into possession of the record during his time as keyboardist for Gerry. It was sold in March 2016 in Warrington to an unnamed buyer.
Frank Wilson – ‘Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)’
Only 250 demo copies of this single were ever pressed by American soul singer and producer Frank Wilson. Only about five of those are reported to have survived when Motown boss Berry Gordy destroyed the rest. Although the sale price was confirmed to be £ 25,742, the Leicestershire-based record dealer who organized the sale reported that the buyer wished to remain anonymous.
