A record by a prototype line-up of The Beatles which cost 90p to make in 1958 is now worth £100,000. The Quarrymen's cover of Buddy Holly's That'll Be The Day is the most valuable British single, says Record Collector magazine.

It features John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and pianist John Duff Lowe, who kept it and sold it to Sir Paul in 1978. The magazine's list of 100 most valuable singles includes a blue vinyl of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, worth £5,000.
