The microphones and other equipment used by John Lennon to record ‘Imagine’ are being auctioned off next month.

In the 1970s, the equipment was housed in Lennon’s home studio in Tittenhurst Park and was used for his early solo albums.


Recording equipment specialists MJQ Ltd, are handling the auction and as well as other Beatles related equipment, they are offering a mixing console from the Abbey Road Studios in London.


BBC News has reported that Lennon’s microphones will be auctioned for at least 5000 pounds each. The late Beatle’s wife, Yoko Ono, and band mates George Harrison and Ringo Starr, also used the equipment.
