NEW YORK (AP) — An anonymous buyer paid $790,000 for Ringo Starr’s copy of the White Album with serial number 1. Julien’s Auctions reports the sale beats the record for the highest amount paid for a record, which was set in 2015 when Jack White bought Elvis Presley’s acetate recording of “My Happiness” for $300,000. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay confirms he paid $1.75 million for Starr’s first Ludwig drum set. More than 800 items owned by Starr and his wife, Barbara Bach, were sold in a two-day auction. Part of the proceeds will benefit the couple’s Lotus Children Foundation.
