Beatles poster fetches $44,000

A rare poster advertising a concert by the Beatles at the U.K.'s famed Cavern Club just months before they shot to stardom has sold at auction for $44,000.

The Fab Four were regulars at the venue in their hometown of Liverpool, England, before landing a record deal, but posters from their days at the club are scarce.
Now officials at London auction house Christie's have sold a poster from a Beatles show in November 1962 for $44,000. Editors at trade listings website WhatSellsBest.com report the billboard ad is the earliest Beatles poster Christie's staff have ever sold.
