Beatles Grammy Award up for sale

披头士乐队无疑是世纪上最有影响力的乐队。在8年的时间中,他们不但改变了摇滚乐和流行乐,而且,永远的改变了所有音乐的面貌。近日,披头士乐队及其成员保罗·麦卡尼爵士曾经获得的两座葛莱美奖杯将在加利福尼亚洲公开拍卖。

Two Grammy Award trophies won by the Beatles and singer Sir Paul McCartney are to be auctioned in California.

The Beatles picked up the award for A Hard Day's Night, while Sir Paul's was for the Wings' track Band on the Run.

The Fab Four's award is estimated to fetch up to $60,000 (£32,760), and Sir Paul's about half that sum.

They form part of a memorabilia sale taking place in Monterey on Saturday, which also includes the Golden Globe won for the 1959 film Ben Hur.

The Golden Globe has been given an estimate of $9,000 (£4,910)

A pair of sunglasses worn by John Lennon will also go under the hammer.

A shirt worn by Tom Cruise in the military thriller A Few Good Men will be available for sale at the auction, along with a costume worn by Mike Myers in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.

A pair of boxing gloves donned by Sylvester Stallone in Rocky are expected to fetch up to $3,000 (£1,636).
