The lyrics for a Beatles song are expected to sell for between $500,000 to $700,000 when they go up for auction at Sotheby's in London.

The lyrics to 'A Day In The Life' were handwritten by John Lennon in 1967. The song is the last track on the legendary 1967 album 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.'

The single sheet contains a draft copy of the lyrics on one side and the final copy on the other side, which Lennon used in the recording studio.

In 2005, Lennon's handwritten lyrics of 'All You Need is Love' sold for more than $1 million.

TORONTO - A rare piece of Beatles memorabilia that was made in Canada is going on the auction block in Los Angeles today.

It's a 14-minute reel-to-reel audiotape of a 1966 Beatles news conference recorded on Aug. 17, 1966 at Toronto's King Edward Hotel.

It was recorded by a Hamilton Spectator journalist when the Beatles were in town to play two shows at Maple Leaf Gardens.

Margaret Barrett, director of entertainment memorabilia with Bonham & Butterfields, says the tape includes John Lennon being questioned about his comment that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus.

The Fab Four also talk about the Vietnam war, the generation gap and the legendary band's possible break up in the near future.

Los Angeles's Bonham & Butterfields expects the audiotape will fetch between US$20,000 and US$25,000.
