Sgt. Peppers Drum Skin Sells for Over 1 Million Dollars

July 10th, 2008

Wow, this is incredible.  About a month ago, yours truly blogged about the Christie Auction that was to be held in London today.  One of the items mentioned that was going on the auction block was the hand-painted drumskin featured on the cover of the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album.  Today that drumskin sold for the mind-blowing price of $1.1 million dollars!!  That price is four times its estimate, unbelievable!  Dig this….the skin even had it’s own billing, as “the world’s most famous drumskin”.  Isn’t that just so cute!  I hope the person or persons who bought this hot little item chooses a place to display it that’s worthy of it.
