Staff at a Sussex charity shop have said they were 'blown away' after finding a rare copy of a single by The Beatles.

After approximately 50 singles were dropped off to British Heart Foundation in Midhurst, assistant manager Debbie sifted through records from Cliff Richard, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles before spotting one record that stood out.

One of The Beatles' records said it was 'not for sale' and featured a spelling error in Sir Paul McCartney's name, spelling it 'McArtney'. It was decided the record should be sold on the online auction website Ebay and it was sent off to a British Heart Foundation to be added to their page.
