Old Jagger-Lennon Recording Auctioned


The Associated Press



LONDON


1974 recording of a song by Mick Jagger and John Lennon that was never released sold at auction for $2,230 Thursday.

The unlabeled acetate - a record made directly from a master tape - had been found buried at the bottom of a box of records when Tom Fisher, 34, bought it four years ago for just $32. Fisher runs the Rat Records store in south London.

An unidentified online bidder purchased the recording at the Rock Legends auction on Thursday night.

"It's a pretty healthy markup. I can't really complain," Fisher said.

"The song has been available as a bootleg for 20 years," Jagger said on his Web site Thursday. "I have no reason to think the acetate...has any more value than the other bootleg versions."

The track, a cover of the blues song "Too Many Cooks," was recorded in 1974 with Jagger, the Rolling Stones' lead singer, on vocals; Lennon, the former Beatle, on guitar; and Ringo Starr, the Beatles' drummer. But it was never released.

The master copies are believed to have been lost

Mathijs my god Max....Too Many Cooks is a fabulous song, if it was released in 73 or 74 it would have been a smash hit!! It is truly on of the great lost gems!
