cording studio sold at auction in Britain for 9,800 pounds (12,400 euros, US$19,000) on Tuesday. The recording, which was found in an attic and dates from 1964, features songs including "I'll Follow The Sun" and "I'm A Loser" which appeared on that year's "Beatles For Sale" album.
At one point, the tape captures Lennon telling McCartney, "I'm not looking at you," and McCartney replying, "You were."
Lennon then says: "It's just going to get funnier and funnier as the evening goes on," and "It's 11 o'clock, you know."
McCartney adds: "Let's just try this once more and if it's the last one, that's hard lines."
The seller wished to remain anonymous. He was the son of a man who had worked in the music industry and found the tape when he was clearing his father's attic.
Auctioneers Cameo in Midgham, Berkshire, southern England said the buyer, who bid over the Internet, also requested anonymity.
