Martin King, manager at The Beatles Story, said: “We have been approached by the new owner of the record and we are working with them to hopefully put this historic item on display for the public to enjoy. The record is extremely rare and is amazingly almost 60 years old, the fact the disc has now raised a significant amount for charity just makes it even more special.”
