The Beatles iconic drum skin on the front cover of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band went to auction yesterday in London, fetching over $1 million.

The item was the most popular of the Beatles memorabilia that sold at Christie's Auction House, getting four times more than expected. A hand-penned lyric sheet of John Lennon's “Give Peace a Chance" also sold well with a winning bid of over $800,000. A bunch of never- before-seen Beatles photos and Lennon's sunglasses from the Mind Games sleeve were also auctioned off.
