Here's Why Some People Never Throw Anything Away:

Valuable treasure of Beatles photos tossed by cleaning firm

EMI and Apple Corps are suing a cleaning firm for £700,000 after one of the firm's cleaners threw out two boxes of original Beatles photos including the photo on the cover of the group's first album, "Please Please Me."

The U.K. Sun is reporting that the photos by photographer Angus McBean were in boxes marked "Not Rubbish - Do Not Remove." They were removed and crushed in a waste compactor. The suit alleges the cleaning firm was negligent in not training or supervising their worker properly.

The suit says, "The Beatles transparencies were the only original material from the photography from this session and were historically important and valuable." The cleaner who allegedly admitted to discarding the historical photos has been fired.

One wonders just how "lost" this stuff really is. After all, crushed is not the same as shredded. ATR will bet that there's a small Fab Fortune in the hands of some dumpster diver somewhere.
