Inside the Prop Store Music Auction: John Lennon, Freddie Mercury & Rock ’n’ Roll History
What if you could own John Lennon’s personal glasses, handwritten lyrics from Freddie Mercury, or even a piano played by some of the biggest names in rock history?
SoundJamm headed to The Cumberland Hotel in London for a close-up look at the incredible Prop Store Music auction — a treasure trove of music memorabilia spanning The Beatles, Queen, Michael Jackson, the Sex Pistols, Elton John, The Rolling Stones and many more.
From instruments and handwritten lyrics to stage-worn clothing and remarkable pieces of music-business history, this is the kind of collection that brings you incredibly close to the artists and moments that shaped popular music.
The Piano Played by Freddie Mercury
One of the standout pieces is an incredible Yamaha C3 piano from Musicland Studios.
This isn’t simply a vintage studio piano. It has connections to some of the biggest names in music, including Freddie Mercury, Elton John and The Rolling Stones.
For Queen fans, the auction also features fascinating Freddie Mercury memorabilia, including handwritten lyrics connected to his Mr Bad Guy solo album.
Seeing handwritten material like this up close gives you a completely different connection to the creative process. These aren't reproductions sitting behind a screen — they're physical pieces of music history.
John Lennon and The Beatles
Beatles collectors have plenty to get excited about too.
Among the items we explore are John Lennon’s personal glasses, along with an extraordinary selection of memorabilia connected to The Beatles and Abbey Road.
One particularly fascinating piece is a document connected to Michael Jackson’s acquisition of the Beatles song catalogue — one of the most famous and controversial business stories in pop history.
There are also Abbey Road headphones and other pieces that offer a glimpse behind the scenes of one of the most important recording stories of all time.
Michael Jackson, Tina Turner and More
The auction isn't just about The Beatles and Queen.
We also get a close-up look at incredible stage-worn costumes and memorabilia connected to stars including Michael Jackson, Tina Turner and Robbie Williams.
These are objects that were part of performances, tours and careers seen by millions of fans around the world.
For a music fan, seeing them just a few feet away is a completely different experience from looking at a photograph online.
The Sex Pistols and the Spirit of Punk
There's also something special for punk fans.
We sit down for a fascinating conversation about a Vivienne Westwood kilt worn by Steve Jones during the Sex Pistols' 1996 tour.
But the story goes beyond one piece of clothing.
We discuss the continuing influence of the Sex Pistols, punk fashion and the rebellious attitude that helped transform British music and culture — and why that spirit continues to inspire new generations.
A Treasure Trove of Music History
Whether your musical heroes are The Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, ABBA, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Michael Jackson or the Sex Pistols, this collection demonstrates just how powerful music memorabilia can be.
These objects aren't simply collectables.
They tell stories.
They connect us to recording studios, concerts, albums and moments that became part of popular culture.
And that's exactly what SoundJamm — The Stories Behind the Music is all about.
