KEY POINTS:
Handwritten lyrics by the late Beatle George Harrison to his song While My Guitar Gently Weeps have sold for US$300,000 ($437,380) at a rock'n'roll memorabilia auction in the United States.
The auction featured items from rock legends including The Who, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin, all authenticated by the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
But the Beatles memorabilia fetched the highest prices - even a shopping list written by Lennon requesting light bulbs, cabbage, yoghurt, and mince for his cats sold for US$1400.
