LONDON, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- A 1973 cassette tape, featuring audio of an intoxicated John Lennon singing "Just Because," has been sold for $30,000 at an auction in Los Angeles.
The BBC said the six-minute recording of Lennon's cover of Lloyd Price's song was taped during Lennon's "lost weekend" period -- the 18 months when Lennon was estranged from his wife Yoko Ono and moved from New York to Los Angeles.
