(6/16/05 - NEW YORK) —
It may be one of the weirdest pieces of Beatles memorabilia ever to be auctioned off: the door to their lawyer's office.

The memorabilia site Its Only Rock N Roll.com is auctioning off the front door to office of Apple Records attorney Nat Weiss. John Lennon and Paul McCartney put huge signatures on the door, and it's also signed by George Harrison, Carly Simon, James Taylor and Cat Stevens. The opening bid for the door is $15,000.


Another item for sale is a receipt signed by all FIVE Beatles: John, Paul, George, original bassist Stu Sutcliffe and original drummer Pete Best. The only known complete and original master tape of the Beatles' first American concert in Washington is also for sale, starting at $125,000.

The auction also features items relating to The Beach Boys, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Nirvana and The Who. It runs through June 28.
