GEORGE HARRISON MEMORABILIA STOLEN

Lyrics and photos snatched from his sister's car…

George Harrison lyrics and photographs have been snatched from his sister’s car in America.


The incident happened just outside the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas.


Thieves struck when Lou Harrison was in the middle of donating memorabilia to the library.


The late Beatle’s sister returned to her car to find that the window had been smashed and a briefcase containing pictures of her with her brother, and lyrics to his songs, were removed.


Lou Harrison decided to travel down to the library from her home in Illinois so that fans could view the items for themselves.


She told local TV station KTHV: "There's not enough things to leave for my grandchildren."


"So I thought maybe if I could house them at the Clinton Library, where they could be on display, that all the Beatle people could enjoy seeing them."


Lou Harrison is now appealing to fans to surf the internet in a bid to try and track down the stolen items.

In other Beatles news, a three-disc tribute album is due to be released in time for Christmas.


The compilation ‘Trojan Beatles Tribute Box Set’ features covers from a series of Jamaican artists and song writers.


It will be released on December 6..
