Told my dad this recently when he dug his beatles singles out to sell and he was shocked at what they were worth...Simply,the beatles were the biggest band in the world because they sold A LOT of records.
I dont know if it is of any real value but my dad owns a Japanese text version of The Beatles White Album, the album cover and lp labels have Japanese text instead of English. It is in mint condition too. I'm no expert (far from it) but it doesn't look like a counterfeit or bootleg to me.
This channel has become a soothing and friendly space to spend time every week. I just checked, and I’ve logged 107 Beatles records in my collection, so I enjoy watching these videos, of course....sometimes more than a few times!
I watched this video with interest, then it came to the chapter on the Please, Please Me album. I'd purchased a Please Please Me album from a Sydney Australia second hand store in the mid sixties. Being a low paid apprentice at the time I grabbed this cheap way of obtaining this album. It was a UK release and I paid no attention until I saw this video. I dug it out from my long forgotten vinyl collection and low and below I have a first pressing. Thank you.
@@Parlogram In watching a further video about the mother stamping I found my copy is a 1-G. I had always regarded this copy as a piece of junk. How wrong I was.
I won a Signed copy of Rubber Soul from Bill Harry who started a magazine called Idols. Somewhere there's a picture of me in Vol 2 with my prize. Unfortunately I had my wallet stolen shortly after and so sold it. It was the 90's and so a record shop bought it for about £500. It was nice to hold an album signed by all four, so you win some, lose some. Love watching the series and keep up the great work.
You are so right about the misconception that many collectors have that original Beatles vinyl is worth a fortune. One only needs to peruse ebay and see countless records in trashed quality asking for astronomical prices. I personally saw listings for albums such as Magical Mystery Tour in poor condition for $1000. Don't people realize that millions of copies were pressed and unless it's in excellent to mint condition it isn't worth more than $10?
The most outrageous one I've seen was in a charity shop in Wells, Somerset. It was a black and yellow Parlophone copy of the Please Please Me album, no sleeve (not even a paper inner sleeve) and the vinyl looked like someone had been at at with a wire wool scouring pad. Literally unplayable. Asking price? £350! They'd obviously read somewhere that stereo copies were worth a lot of money but missed the bit about the label needing to be Black and Gold. I was gonna have a word but thought what's the point - let them find out the hard way.
I loved that lacquer smell! Glad you mentioned that! Brilliant show again! I restore old recordings and a lot have been lacquers ...death when you sniffed it was a sneaky smile from me because most folks don’t find that, interesting. It’s all part of the process isn’t it.?! Any brilliant again...always looking forward to new episodes!
First pressing stereo gold label copies of "Please Please Me" always sell for a lot of money on eBay. And there are *always* multiple copies on eBay any time I check (I'm speaking of originals and not the reissues). It seems like this is one of the the most common valuable records ever.
Great video,as usual,Andrew.Here in the states,there are some scarcities,for sure.Jack Parr VJ PPM sleeve,WMCA Hold Your Hand sleeve,Butchers,of course,Green swirl Capitol Starline run(Oct'65),Oldies 45 Burnt Orange glossy label foursome(Aug '64,with black label-based sleeves,We Can Work it Out red/white Starline 45,The 3 juke Ep's on Capitol,KFWB red label interview 45,The 2 Capitol interview ones,for MEET and the SECOND ALBUM,and there are other scarce pieces,such as acetates. The Canadians are the green swirls,and the tan/yellow swirl numbers,72159(Secret/Thank You Girl, which didn't chart)and Sie Liebt Dich(72162)
At one point I owned an NM -1 -2 stereo A Hard Day's Night with the cutting error on "any time at all" and also an original mono pressing of Sgt. Pepper that had a stereo matrix and played in stereo on Side 1.. having accidentally encountered both of them! I ended up parting with both but I'm still kicking myself over it.. although they weren't the most valuable things out there, they were still great to own
Another great video! My rarest Beatles discs are my stereo PPM with the "extra 33 1/3", and my copy of one of the USA albums (Beatles 65 I think) which plays Fleetwood Mac's "Bare Trees" instead of The Beatles on side 2. I do have all four side A/B combinations of Dick James/Northern Songs black/gold labels though, took me a while to find them!
When I was just getting into The Beatles as a kid, one of my aunts gave me her copy of the sgt pepper lp. It’s one of those 1969 one box pressings which she claimed she had signed by Lennon outside saville row while she was in London on holiday. It does look rather genuine alright, but since both have passed away now, who’s to tell... anyhoo, I’m hanging on to it more as a keepsake to my aunt than to Lennon. Thanks for the video! Great stuff, as always.
Great video Andrew. Interesting to see what makes a record valuable. Although none of the Beatles records in my collection will allow me to retire early, you couldn’t put a price tag on any of them as far as I’m concerned. Thanks again!
Just found a mint copy of PPM with that black and gold label in my collection...sadly it is the 2012 digitally sourced reissue ;) Sadly my 60's pressings are all a bit battered looking, but hey they still sound fab. Great video as always Andrew - so informative!
Hi Andrew, I'm back again watching this video because I just managed to pick up a lady madonna demo for £200. Managed to jump in and purchase it on a buy it now on ebay. Absolutely over the moon. Hope you're well!
@Parlogram thank you so much Andrew, I remember being over the moon with a regular old paperback writer single i had found, and I rewatched your 7" unboxing video over and over again. I Never thought I would be able to get one of these. Maybe in a few years I'll finally get that gold stereo ppm Haha.
Excellent video, Andrew. I was looking forward to watching it after your post on IG. It is a pleasure to watch your videos and there is always a lot of new things to learn about The Beatles discography. Greetings 🇨🇴
Wonderful as ever Andrew and what great taste! Weather it be Golden Slumbers at 33 1/3 the throaty rumble of the Rover V8 or the unmistakable ring of a 746 emanating from the telephone table in the hall!
A fantastic video! Greetings from Greece! I am a lifelong Beatles fan in my late 40s and this was one of the most informative videos about the Fab Four. All the knowledge that I had gained in my years of record collecting is presented here condensed, in a clarified and explicit manner! Unfortunately, I do not own any of such rarities. Yet, it really doesn't matter, since I am here mainly for the knowledge. I do own some Beatles' original vinyl copies, such as a Jobette-labelled early 1963 mono copy of the "With the Beatles" LP in VG/VG+ condition (which, as you rightfully mentioned, was not pricey at all). Btw, a record dealer in Athens stumbled upon the McArtney-labelled promo copy of "Love Me Do" in a local record fair a few years ago. He bought it FOR PENNIES just because "it seemed different" and he was totally jaw-dropped when he discovered its rarity and value (the story is 100% true, I know the dealer personally). One question, if I may: is there a way for me to add Greek subtitles on this specific video (with your permission, of course). It would be a valuable source of information for other Beatles fans here who are not at a fluent level in their English. In any case, it was a pleasure watching this one! Thanks for uploading and keep up the good work!
The brazilian first pressing of the White Album has a misprint on side 2 (Rockl Racoon, Lennon McCartney credited for Don't Pass Me By) and a misspressing on side 4 (Revolution 1 keeps speeding up, among with other tracks). It's quite valuable worldwide. It's not true mono, but a stereo fold-down.
Mention of cover abberations.. I have PCS black and gold stereo.. the front cover says MONO but the unlaminated back board is PCS Stereo ! I found that at Banbury market stall about 10 years ago
You knocked it out of the park again, great video. Some stuff there that most of us can only dream of owning. The lowest white albums I own is 391 and 403, I'm lucky enough to have the export issues, something new with sold in the UK, Beatles second with McCartney misprint and Beatles V1 with sold in the UK.
The sticker at 4:09 says “Factory Sample Not For Sale” were also being used on all EMI releases including the Tamla Motown 45’s. 5:11 is a test pressing record which is pretty rare at the time, sadly none of the test pressings were on Tamla Motown and Stateside, because of the US test pressings are on Motown, not in the UK. Tamla Motown was the label that put out a lot of the original Motown albums from the US and imported to the UK.
The UK Parlophone Beatles VI export edition is one of my prized possessions in my record collection. One more great video, Andrew. Thanks. See you, Nelio.
@@Parlogram of course even rarer - but not necessarily more valuable, are the 1 & 2 box exports copies of the first 3, they were still pressing them in 1972/3
My auntie in Birkenhead gave me a copy of Abbey Road with the offset Apple logo a couple of years ago. She found it at a boot sale and luckily for me the original owner (called Susan according to the name on the label) took very good care of it. I have many, many versions of this album, including all the usual suspects, but this one sounds the best. The reason I love it though is the thought that the music on it didn't even exist a few weeks before it was pressed into that particular piece of plastic that would live forever.
Hi Andrew. Great info. Will help in my crate digging. Ps. I have Abbey Road pcs7088 misaligned apple. UK pressing. Best regards. James from bonnie scotland.
These demo UK 45’s of Beatles songs are quite rare compared to the UK demo 45’s of every Motown singles that were on Tamla Motown with a white label with a big red A on it (same with a green label with white A), because both Parlophone and Tamla Motown are part of EMI. Tamla Motown did pretty well overseas where they exported the US releases and brought it to the UK. Every artists like Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Diana Ross & The Supremes and others were on Tamla Motown.
hi Andrew, it's Henry, great video again, still so much to find, however aside from a LMD demo which may or may not have been signed by John & the usual Black & Golds, some demos ( only 4 of them inc LMD ) & Exports ( still missing HJ, YS & a YB AR as mine is a 1 box ) i do have a #92 WA. however as you probably know you NEVER see a low numbered WA in decent shape so i am lucky that aside from discolouration & a tiny stain it is in lovely order, & one day, when i am gone you may be able to sell them on to the decent home they will deserve !!
@@Parlogram well when you are next back in the UK mate, you'll need a pad & pen & need to know where the bodies are all buried, as with all collections 90% are 5 -10 quid records, but then there is that 10% ... lol !!
That was awesome I got quite a few Beatles albums I definitely will be checking them out to see what I got I don't have no 45 The Beatles albums but I got albums
Excellent - once again. Thanks Andrew. It could be interesting if you at some point could make a selection of solo releases and Apple releases (oh, yes and Dark Horse and Ring´O) - special pressings and rareties etc.although the topic "Beatles" itself is endless.
Hi Andrew Watching the video on the Hollywood bowl albums love it keep it up my friend Can you do a video on the let it be naked Album way is LP hard to find and very expensive and was it a Limited run dave.
When I got rid of my vinyl collection in 1992 and went to CD I just couldn't part with my Beatle albums. I don't have them all but the ones I have I'm keeping for sentimental reasons. The American version of "Help!" was the first album I ever bought. I think I paid $2.49 for it. Unfortunately that album got melted.
Thanks for all the information on the best group in the world. I have a boxed set of Let It Be from release day with book and an Xmas fan club LP from 1969 hardly played it. Would love to know what they are worth. Thanks.
Hi Julia, They're both very collectible but value all depends on condition. Drop us a line via our website with some more details: www.parlogramauctions.com/Contact
@@Parlogram great, i can't wait! I live in the Netherlands and i dont see that many UK pressings here. (Mainly Dutch, France and German pressings). So i really like to learn more from all these pressings from other countries (then i know where to look for 😜).
Of course,the scarcest item here in the states could be a sleeve for the Canadian import of All My Loving(72144).The sleeve is identical to the Can't Buy Me Love sleeve(text font included)and includes the words "Of Canada"under the Capitol logo.Few have surfaced.
Hi Andrew I suppose most A label demos were just junked by the radio stations/DJ's once the record went out of the charts adding to.their rarity.They are great to look at too.Excellent video again
Thank you for another good video, I do like the calm with which they are presented. With The Beatles' demonstration singles what did the B sides look like? Were the B sides the regular issue for the discs? Or were there any that were different? Were there any valuable variations in demonstration discs based on irregular B sides?
A friend of mine belonged to the Grattan catalogue stereo record club in 1963. He said he got his gold stereo Please Please Me in the same catalogue order as With The Beatles on the day the latter album was released. I assume the catalogue bought a certain amount of stock which it was still sending out from its warehouse long after the shop stock had switched labels.
Thanks for sharing that information. I'd heard something about the Grattan catalogue too. It would be great to find out more information or if anyone has a catalogue from that year.
What about solo stuff. I have the original Concert for Bangladesh box set with booklet inside and the Imagine album with the poster inside both in mint condition.
Would be good to see one about the Apple x Delayney and Bonnie / George Harrison story and history etc ... I read that one of the Ace Records guys sold a copy of this rarity for a fair sum ... anyway, please keep up the good work I am really enjoying the Beatles content here 😊
Such a good video...thank you. Of all the Beatles I own, I'm sure none have much worth except my 3rd state butcher, which I'm sure I can't retire on. 😁
As always, a great video. I have Australian copies of the singles "Please Please Me", "From Me To You" and "She Loves You" on the purple Parlophone label. EMI Australia switched to the black & silver Parlophone label in September, 1963. Any idea what these purple label 45s would be worth?
Would depend, of course, on their condition and which label variations you have. Both Please Please Me and From Me To You have two label variations and She Loves You has three.
I have a double EP 45 Magical Mystery Tour in mint condition factory original with the book attached all the pages are there. It says "Not for Sale" is it rare? What is it worth?
My Auntie (not directly) had a cloth that was signed by the Beatles in the early sixties along with a selection of other stars signatures where she embroidered over the signatures. Their was even a newspaper cutting showing them doing it. She's possibly still alive in her eighties (moved to the US). I wonder if that would be worth anything much?
I recently bought a Philippine pressing No 000089 on Parlophone label, its a top loader, embossed The Beatles and laminated cover. Any information on my copy?? any information would be very much appreciated thanks
I have a white album with photos inside, signed but they don't look original, might just be naming them, the double apple album is number 0022214 the cover is in a poor state but the records are perfect condition. I have photos of the photos and writing on the back. Any info would be great
Hi Andrew, can you share some light on four Beatles CD's I bought in an indoor market over 30 years ago. The titles are: The Beatles- BRS73159, More Beatles- BRS73160, Rock and Roll Music- BRS73161, and The Beatles Vol. 4- BRS73162. All the discs have no country of origin on them, but do say... 'All rights of the producer and of the owner of the work reproduced reserved. Unauthorised copying, hiring, lending,public performance and broadcasting of this record prohibited.' I hope you can clarify these for me. I always enjoy watching your reviews of rare albums. Best wishes, Gordon Taylor, Scotland.
I remember musician Peter Hammill reminiscing about buying early Beatles albums pre-release by mail order, to build up the attention paid to the album on release. I think he was referring to 'Please Please Me' and 'With the Beatles' in particular. Given the rare early gold Parlophone label of 'Please Please Me' have you ever seen the packaging that they would have been sent through the post in?
@@Parlogram Thank you for that, here is another enquiry that probably carries it's own dead end, but... For people to buy albums mail order in 1963 there must have been adverts in certain magazines to tell buyers the album was coming, and persuade them to buy the album in advance mail order, so in which publications might EMI have advertised?
Another interesting and well researched video. Wonderful to see genuine top copies of things I’ll probably never own.. unless I have a very wealthy auntie somewhere! If I have I’ll give you A ring! Many thanks Andrew.
I have a Sgt Peppers album in the original shrink wrap that I purchased when it first came out in the 60's. Since I received one as a birthday present around the same day, I never opened it. I am 74 years old now and still possess this unopened album. It was purchased at a Sears store in Pottsville Pennsylvania (long closed) but has the original Sears sticker on the shrink wrap. Isit worth anything?
Brilliant as always Andrew. I noticed a blank apple logo record. I bought a let it be album with a blank a side in a flea...I'm interested in how rare you think it is as I am having a clear out. I will be in touch via your website Thanks.

These demo UK 45’s of Beatles songs are quite rare compared to the UK demo 45’s of every Motown singles that were on Tamla Motown with a white label with a big red A on it (same with a green label with white A), because both Parlophone and Tamla Motown are part of EMI. Tamla Motown did pretty well overseas where they exported the US releases and brought it to the UK. Every artists like Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Diana Ross & The Supremes and others were on Tamla Motown.
hi Andrew, it's Henry, great video again, still so much to find, however aside from a LMD demo which may or may not have been signed by John & the usual Black & Golds, some demos ( only 4 of them inc LMD ) & Exports ( still missing HJ, YS & a YB AR as mine is a 1 box ) i do have a #92 WA. however as you probably know you NEVER see a low numbered WA in decent shape so i am lucky that aside from discolouration & a tiny stain it is in lovely order, & one day, when i am gone you may be able to sell them on to the decent home they will deserve !!
I'd love to see your collection one day, Henry but while you're still around!
@@Parlogram well when you are next back in the UK mate, you'll need a pad & pen & need to know where the bodies are all buried, as with all collections 90% are 5 -10 quid records, but then there is that 10% ... lol !!
Another interesting video thanks for making and posting right off to my Mothers loft !!!
That was awesome I got quite a few Beatles albums I definitely will be checking them out to see what I got I don't have no 45 The Beatles albums but I got albums
Another brilliant video. I hope you can keep these videos coming for some time to come. They are all excellent.
Thanks, will do!
Andrew thanks again for an informative video. Your thoughts on the Deagostini vinyl series will be much appreciated.
Thanks Gordon. I haven't heard the Deagostinis......yet.
Amazing!
As always very interesting thanks
Excellent - once again. Thanks Andrew. It could be interesting if you at some point could make a selection of solo releases and Apple releases (oh, yes and Dark Horse and Ring´O) - special pressings and rareties etc.although the topic "Beatles" itself is endless.
Great suggestion!
Very insightful video. Cheers
Thanks for watching, James. Glad it was helpful!
Hi Andrew
Watching the video on the Hollywood bowl albums love it keep it up my friend
Can you do a video on the let it be naked
Album way is LP hard to find and very expensive and was it a Limited run dave.
When I got rid of my vinyl collection in 1992 and went to CD I just couldn't part with my Beatle albums. I don't have them all but the ones I have I'm keeping for sentimental reasons. The American version of "Help!"
was the first album I ever bought. I think I paid $2.49 for it. Unfortunately that album got melted.
You show me things interesting in this video,about Beatles and yours records.Thank you by information for all this ok.Uchino of Japan.
My pleasure, Uchino. Thank you for watching.
No mention of Paul's Christmas Album? -:)
Danny
Thanks for all the information on the best group in the world. I have a boxed set of Let It Be from release day with book and an Xmas fan club LP from 1969 hardly played it. Would love to know what they are worth. Thanks.
Hi Julia, They're both very collectible but value all depends on condition. Drop us a line via our website with some more details: www.parlogramauctions.com/Contact
This video is great, would you also do one for pressings from other lands?
Thanks! The next video will be about their Australian albums.
@@Parlogram great, i can't wait!
I live in the Netherlands and i dont see that many UK pressings here.
(Mainly Dutch, France and German pressings).
So i really like to learn more from all these pressings from other countries (then i know where to look for 😜).
Of course,the scarcest item here in the states could be a sleeve for the Canadian import of All My Loving(72144).The sleeve is identical to the Can't Buy Me Love sleeve(text font included)and includes the words "Of Canada"under the Capitol logo.Few have surfaced.
Anyone know what the book shown at 10:12 (depicting Ringo’s copy of the White Album) is called?
It's from Julien's auction catalog of the sale.
Hi Andrew I suppose most A label demos were just junked by the radio stations/DJ's once the record went out of the charts adding to.their rarity.They are great to look at too.Excellent video again
Agreed, Ian. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another good video, I do like the calm with which they are presented. With The Beatles' demonstration singles what did the B sides look like? Were the B sides the regular issue for the discs? Or were there any that were different? Were there any valuable variations in demonstration discs based on irregular B sides?
The B sides of the demo were of the same design but without the red 'A'. There were no song variations.
Looking Forward to the Beatles in Australia episode. Happy to help if you need any info or pics of any rarities. Please ask.
Thanks, much appreciated!
A friend of mine belonged to the Grattan catalogue stereo record club in 1963. He said he got his gold stereo Please Please Me in the same catalogue order as With The Beatles on the day the latter album was released. I assume the catalogue bought a certain amount of stock which it was still sending out from its warehouse long after the shop stock had switched labels.
Thanks for sharing that information. I'd heard something about the Grattan catalogue too. It would be great to find out more information or if anyone has a catalogue from that year.
What about solo stuff. I have the original Concert for Bangladesh box set with booklet inside and the Imagine album with the poster inside both in mint condition.
I just picked up an ODEON Sgt Peppers Uruguay pressing, label is in Spanish. So interesting!
Would be good to see one about the Apple x Delayney and Bonnie / George Harrison story and history etc ... I read that one of the Ace Records guys sold a copy of this rarity for a fair sum ... anyway, please keep up the good work I am really enjoying the Beatles content here 😊
Such a good video...thank you.
Of all the Beatles I own, I'm sure none have much worth except my 3rd state butcher, which I'm sure I can't retire on. 😁
I have a Dutch pressing of Revolver that was pressed mono one side and stereo on the other
As always, a great video. I have Australian copies of the singles "Please Please Me", "From Me To You" and "She Loves You" on the purple Parlophone label. EMI Australia switched to the black & silver Parlophone label in September, 1963. Any idea what these purple label 45s would be worth?
Would depend, of course, on their condition and which label variations you have. Both Please Please Me and From Me To You have two label variations and She Loves You has three.
I have a double EP 45 Magical Mystery Tour in mint condition factory original with the book attached all the pages are there. It says "Not for Sale" is it rare? What is it worth?
My Auntie (not directly) had a cloth that was signed by the Beatles in the early sixties along with a selection of other stars signatures where she embroidered over the signatures. Their was even a newspaper cutting showing them doing it. She's possibly still alive in her eighties (moved to the US). I wonder if that would be worth anything much?
I recently bought a Philippine pressing No 000089 on Parlophone label, its a top loader, embossed The Beatles and laminated cover. Any information on my copy?? any information would be very much appreciated thanks
I have a white album with photos inside, signed but they don't look original, might just be naming them, the double apple album is number 0022214 the cover is in a poor state but the records are perfect condition. I have photos of the photos and writing on the back. Any info would be great
Love this channel! Andrew, what’s your opinion on the 1978 colored vinyl UK reissues?
I haven't heard all of them but when I have, you'll know.
Hi Andrew,
What's the name of that book at 10:13 ?
It is the catalog to the sale of Ringo's items at Julien's Auctions in 2015
Can you advise. I have an Apple copy of Abbey Road with a different side on the reverse
Hi Andrew, can you share some light on four Beatles CD's I bought in an indoor market over 30 years ago. The titles are: The Beatles- BRS73159, More Beatles- BRS73160, Rock and Roll Music- BRS73161, and The Beatles Vol. 4- BRS73162.
All the discs have no country of origin on them, but do say... 'All rights of the producer and of the owner of the work reproduced reserved. Unauthorised copying, hiring, lending,public performance and broadcasting of this record prohibited.'
I hope you can clarify these for me.
I always enjoy watching your reviews of rare albums. Best wishes, Gordon Taylor, Scotland.
I remember musician Peter Hammill reminiscing about buying early Beatles albums pre-release by mail order, to build up the attention paid to the album on release. I think he was referring to 'Please Please Me' and 'With the Beatles' in particular. Given the rare early gold Parlophone label of 'Please Please Me' have you ever seen the packaging that they would have been sent through the post in?
Nice story. I've never seen any packaging but doubt that much survives.
@@Parlogram Thank you for that, here is another enquiry that probably carries it's own dead end, but... For people to buy albums mail order in 1963 there must have been adverts in certain magazines to tell buyers the album was coming, and persuade them to buy the album in advance mail order, so in which publications might EMI have advertised?
Another interesting and well researched video. Wonderful to see genuine top copies of things I’ll probably never own.. unless I have a very wealthy auntie somewhere! If I have I’ll give you A ring! Many thanks Andrew.
Could you review the Beatles us capital pressings compared to the uk palaphone?
Coming soon, Sean.
i have so many unplayed c beatle records from the sixties my auntie peg was shop steward at emi hayes never played because we never had a player
Wonderfully informative video as always, thanks Andrew.
Glad you enjoyed it, Phil.
Where can I learn more about the metal parts of the mother metal parts? I have a few of them.
Email me the details/photos at: andrew@parlograauctions.com and I'll try to help.
I have a Sgt Peppers album in the original shrink wrap that I purchased when it first came out in the 60's. Since I received one as a birthday present around the same day, I never opened it. I am 74 years old now and still possess this unopened album. It was purchased at a Sears store in Pottsville Pennsylvania (long closed) but has the original Sears sticker on the shrink wrap. Isit worth anything?
Original sealed stereo copies are worth around $400 but a sealed mono could fetch double that.
can I have it for free?
My white album has a No 0022676. Is this a low number. It was left to me from my dad.
Re the A label demos...I remember these being valued in Record Collector in the early 80's at around £80....
White album first press mint con, still wrapped and unopened, mono, UK ed, sealed... what's it worth? 😎👌
Brilliant as always Andrew. I noticed a blank apple logo record. I bought a let it be album with a blank a side in a flea...I'm interested in how rare you think it is as I am having a clear out. I will be in touch via your website Thanks.
Thanks Seamus. I haven't seen many blank 'Let It Be' labels. It's got to be worth £100-200.
I have a 'Love Me Do' Demo 7". Good time to sell?🤔
Absolutely David.
