Lost John Lennon tapes set for return to home of Beatles

Rare recordings of John Lennon from 1964 are set to be brought to Liverpool.

The tapes were recorded in 1964 by student John Hill in Hull. The 18-year-old paid to get into the ABC Cinema, where the concert was taking place. He then bluffed his way into the room where members of the band were talking to the press and found himself interviewing John Lennon.

After an auction lasting around eight minutes, the tapes have been purchased for £3,100 by The Hard Days Night Hotel, the only Beatles-inspired hotel in the world, located in the Cavern Quarter in Liverpool.
