Gotta Have Rock and Roll have an interesting lot coming up for sale. Description:

Presented here is an original, unreleased video reel of 20 minutes of footage, with sound, taken at the Beatles launch party for their album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" that their manager Brian Epstein hosted at his London home on May 9, 1967. All four Beatles attended, including their road managers Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans. This was a small, intimate party where select group of important journalists , broadcasters, and a few photographers (including Linda Eastman, who would later marry Paul to become Linda McCartney) were invited to talk to John, George, Paul and Ringo about the album, it was the first time that "Sgt Pepper" was played for the media.

Wow! Something new that has never ever been seen before. There has never been even just a second of this event shown anywhere! Shame there's no examples of what was filmed shown. Would be nice to see a few frames at least.

On the reel tin it looks like it might say '1Day In The Life'
It's hard to work the last word out, but it might be an unedited reel from the orchestral party in February.
