A Beatles Memorabilia Auction is happening July 3rd in Las Vegas, featuring Stuart Sutcliffe Original Art, which was endorsed by John Lennon, at that time as Johnny & the Moondogs. This is the first time Stuart’s art, lyrics and paintings are available for sale anywhere, plus Beatles Memorabilia and Autographs will be displayed and on sale.

The assorted works of art will be offered for sale July 3rd at the ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com online and in-person auction at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, and also on eBay. These include: Abstract Sculpture, Abstract Figures on Paper, Seagull Painting, Abstract Oil Paintings, Charcoal and Ink Artworks, Handwritten Song Lyrics and Set Lists, Handwritten Poems, Liverpool Art School Artworks, Pen and Ink Drawings, Self Portrait Sketch, Watercolor Painting, and others.

Actually, Stuart Sutcliffe was the Beatles first bass player, in the late fifties as the Silver Beatles. So this event will really spotlight the early years of the group, while they were gaining popularity in Hamburg, Germany. Stuart was really a gifted artist, who dedicated his life to his art and left the Beatles in 1961 to pursue full time studies at the art institute. Paul switched to bass, then Pete Best was replaced by Ringo a year later.

Besides the Stuart Sutcliffe Collection, the auction will include over 350 lots of Beatles Autographs, Concert Posters, Records, Toys and Memorabilia, priced anywhere between $100.00 to $100,000.

Larry King Live hosted Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with Olivia Harrison, Yoko Ono Lennon, and Guy Laliberte, the founder of Cirque du Soleil, and celebrated the first year anniversary of the show LOVE, the brainchild of George Harrison and Guy Laliberte, a high tech blend of modern circus theatre set to an exciting mashup of Beatles music remixed by Sir George Martin and his son Giles.

CNN filmed the tribute show from the Beatles Revolution Lounge at the Mirage in Las Vegas last night, Tuesday June 26th. Good interview and great dialog between Paul and Ringo, and an interesting story from Olivia talking about how George and Guy came to be friends and fans of each other’s work, and combined their talents to create the LOVE show, the first of it’s kind to celebrate the art and music of the Beatles.

The soundtrack for the show features the Beatles music remixed by Sir George Martin and his son Giles, from the original Abbey Road studio master tapes. Paul and Ringo both said the sound was so clear that they could hear things they did in the studio that had been buried in their records for years. LOVE The soundtrack album has both the stereo CD and the 5.1 surround sound DVD, which does indeed sound awesome.

40 years after releasing Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Beatles are still on the charts and in the hearts of millions of fans around the world.

Paul McCartney just released his new album Memory Almost Full, and a video for the first track “Dance Tonight.” He’s also been playing some small venue gigs and just celebrated his 65th birthday.

Ringo Starr will be releasing his EMI catalog online for digital downloads this August, plus a new greatest solo hits album, “Photograph.” This is the first time any of the Beatles music or solo albums have been available as digital downloads. EMI is releasing more Beatles catalog later this year.

A double disc of John Lennon’s solo songs was just released with current artists trying to reinterpret his music on the benefit album “Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign To Save Darfur.” The proceeds go to support Amnesty International.

And Olivia Harrison, widow of former Beatle George Harrison, who succumbed to cancer on November 29, 2001, is executive producer of the reissue of the new Traveling Wilburys collection, Volumes One & Three. The Traveling Wilburys group was George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne.
