There really is no Beatles memorabilia that die hard fans won’t buy.
A roll of toilet paper that the fab four refused to use is up for auction on eBay with a starting price of £40,000, reports Femalefirst.
The Beatles reportedly refused to use the toilet paper during a recording session at Abbey Road as they felt it was "too hard and shiny" and each sheet had 'EMI LTD' printed on it which was really taking the phrase ‘your ass is mine’ to a whole new level.
The toilet paper is currently being stored in a glass box and comes with a note from a former manager, Ken Townsend that says: "Most things went very smoothly with The Beatles at Abbey Road - but not this roll of toilet paper which they complained was too hard and shiny.
"They also thought it disgraceful that the management should stamp each sheet of paper EMI Ltd. The paper was immediately withdrawn and things became much smoother for staff after that."
