That 'fifth Beatle'/Stuart Sutcliffe memorabilia that had been collected by the bassist's sister that we reported on last week have drawn a disappointing response at auction.
Sutlciffe died of a brain haemorrhage in 1962 aged just 21 before the Beatles ecame a global phenomenon, and his sister Pauline has been hording a number f items for the past 40 years, finally deciding to put 100 of them up for sale earlier this year.
While a 1967 sketch book for admission to art school in Liverpool reached the low end of its estimate at £3,000, Sutcliffe's birth certificate, estimated to fetch between £5,000 and £8,000, his geography exercise books priced at up to £1,200 and a poem entitled Deserted Heart, all failed to find buyers.
