Angry John Lennon Letter To Phil Spector Sells For £53,000

The letter from John Lennon to Phil Spector accusing Harry Nilsson and Who drummer Keith Moon of urinating on a studio console has sold for £53,000 ($88,000) at auction.

"Phil - Should you not yet know it was Harry and Keith who pissed on the console," the letter begins.

"Jerry now wants to evict us or that's what Capitol tells us. Anyway tell him to bill Capitol for the damage if any. I can't be expected to mind adult rock stars nor can May [Pang, Lennon's personal assistant] besides she works for me not A+M. I'm about to p..s off to Record Plant [another recording facility] because of this crap."

Lennon wrote the letter at an unknown studio sometime between 1973-1975, during his 18 month split from wife Yoko Ono.

The letter was sold to a private collector by London house Cooper Owen.

I don't know much about Nilsson, but that sounds just like something Moonie would've done.

I agree it does fit with Moon's lunacy.

Not sure I would spend that much money for a few scribblings by John Lennon, from the look of things he writes like most doctors I know.

Isn't Spector in prison for murdering his ex-girlfriend? He is a complete asshole but there is no denying he was a big man in the music business when Rock was becoming massive.

Funny but... goddamn, some people have way too much money to throw away on the most trivial fanboyish items!

I agree. More money than common sense! Such a shame when there are homeless & starving people in the world.



I did have to chuckle though, because evidently the letter was about these guys and their prankster behavior.

:snicker:
