Beatles more popular than Elvis at auction

The Beatles have triumphed over rival rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley at an American auction - suits worn by the Fab Four sold but the King's lot failed to attract big enough bids.

The four suits Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr donned for the cover of their Please Please Me album sold for $110,000 (€83,500) at Bonhams in Los Angeles.
