Saucy Lennon Snap On Sale

The candid shot is an outtake from a nude shoot for Lennon's Two Virgins album, featuring his wife Yoko Ono.

An original print is onsale on memorabilia website Momentsintime.com for $54,000 (£36,000).

The snap is deemed "too graphic to be shown online" but sources have suggested it features Lennon's erect penis.

One insider tells the New York Post the shot "shows John and Yoko sitting down and looking straight into the camera and smiling."

The source adds, "He's in an excited state, and let's just say you can tell that he's not Jewish."
