It, too, is estimated to fetch £70,000.The 25-minute tape – which Lennon gave to Tony Cox in Denmark in January 1970 – ends with Lennon listening to a playback of his work to date and complaining: “God, I just don’t know what I’m doing. Ono and Mr Cox can be heard making occasional interjections.The tapes are made all the more poignant by the knowledge that soon after they were recorded John and Yoko were estranged from Kyoko while Mr Cox and the Lennons were embroiled in an increasingly bitter custody battle.Tuesday’s sale also includes another unheard tape, recorded by Lennon at home in 1966 as he develops the lyrics and melody for “She Said, She Said”, from the Beatles’ Revolver album, released later that year. The Beatle also reveals a previously undocumented talent for penning children’s ditties, including a touching fragment addressed to his own son Julian.The second tape features Lennon and Kyoko playing the acoustic guitars of Tony Cox, Yoko’s ex-husband. They are expected to fetch as much as £70,000 at Christie’s in London at the end of this month.On one, Lennon can also be heard for the first time singing “Oh Yoko” from the 1971 hit album Imagine, retitled “Oh Kyoko” in honour of his stepdaughter, then six years old.Lennon also joins Yoko for a brief romp through the 1966 chart-topper “Yellow Submarine” as well as improvising blues, folk and funk guitar riffs and accompanying Kyoko in an unlikely rendition of Frank Zappa’s “Jelly Roll Gum Drop”. Two previously unheard recordings in which John Lennon tells stories, nursery rhymes and improvises songs for his young stepdaughter Kyoko are to be sold at auction.
