Lady Gaga has stopped an auction house from selling CDs and DVDs featuring some of her early music.

The items had been due to go under the hammer at the Gotta Have It Rock And Roll online auction site.

But the singer's management company has bought the lots for an undisclosed sum. They have since been removed from the auction house's website.

The memorabilia included a demo CD from 2002 and a DVD of Lady Gaga's 2006 performance at the On Stage Italian Artists showcase, reports MTV News.

Earlier this month, the singer's former manager Bob Leone, who was behind the sale said the items showed a “very different” star.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga embarked on the latest European leg of her Monster Ball world tour last night (October 13) in Helsinki, Finland.

The singer returns to the UK in December.
