somethingvinyl Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 A few tips about Beatles and maybe records in general: Records recorded in mono first then released as a stereo version are 95% more desirable as a mono copy. It's a fact that almost includes every genre (rock, jazz, blues, etc). While there are some pricey US copies, most of the high-value Beatles records are UK or imports. Beatles records were faked a lot, so like someone said above, the chances of you having an 'original' are slim. I thought I had more... Also this is the most expensive Beatles record ever sold. The #5 copy of the 'White Album'. Presumably, the Beatles had the first four but according to the description, John had them all at his place: http://www.collector...Cover_No0000005 isavedlatin54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isavedlatin54 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 which shop in austin did you go? describe fair? you will always be able to sell online for more than any shop will give you. just sayin. breakaway records. By "fair" I mean, I dont want to spend money on mailers, and take the effort to make an extra 5-7 bucks per record ( that I would have lost in fees anyway. I had nothing special, and they were all free. i did keep a few, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derby625 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 you can use discogs to figure out what pressings you have: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Beatles,+The that way you can tell if they are very common or worth something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soconfg Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Can someone help me with the value of my Abbey Road? It has what looks like a sewer on the bottom and lists her majesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 It's only valuable if they're walking the other way. Really, UK pressing of Abbey Road and the US pressing that doesn't list "Her Majesty" on the record or sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebambino Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Contemplating if I should buy these, or wait for the re-mastered versions to come out next month. Re-masters will be sourced from digital, LP's will be cut from 24/96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 So I hit a charity record sale today and found a 2nd State copy of Yesterday and Today (meaning with the sticker). The cover is beat up pretty darn good and was a promo copy as it has the shaved upper left corner. I want to try to clear the sticker for my own pleasure. Any Beatles experts on here have a link to a known successful process? Wading through Beatles threads on the internet is exhausting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I dont have the record with me right now but can anyone comment on this White Album which I got couple of years ago from a clueless flea market seller for 8 dollars (considering the part of world I live in - eastern europe) - the logo is embossed, not numbered, all the texts and pictures on the jacket are green, includes the regular poster and the postcards. Im sure its an australian pressing but from what year this might be? 80-s? 90-s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Couple of years ago I visited Finland (Helsinki) and one of their biggest retail seller (Anttila) was selling all the Beatles albums, sealed. I didnt buy any of these (stupid me), but has anyone an idea what pressings these might have been? They were definitely not bootlegs.

For some reason I thought the unpeeled versions are worth more now because so many people have peeled theirs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Yes, they've apparently become sought after but this thing is so beat to high heavens that I think it is better peeled and framed on my wall than the $20-$30 I imagine I can get for it. To give you an idea: Upper Left Corner is shaved: Promo Bottom of Jacket is split and taped together Spine is half torn. Vinyl is in pretty good shape however with only one scratch but no surface noise. It is in Mono not Stereo. If you think that has any value let me know before I do something stupid. If someone here thinks it has value I'd auction it off and give the proceeds to the charity holding the original sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 This one looks as bad or worse than what you decribed and it sold for $128. It looks like anything that's a known butcher goes for some money. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROCK-ROLL-BEATLES-BUTCHER-COVER-2ND-STATE-UNPEELED-MONO-LISTEN-/320982297043?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item4abc0929d3&nma=true&si=zM0NS55bV7MhG30LY%2BzYWXacozA%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact that my sticker is fully intact means it is likely a bit more desirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Is the white album numbered on the sleeve? Is Sgt. Pepper's sleeve white or red rainbowish? i got a numbered white album with all 4 headshots and poster. the jacket is a little beat up but the discs are minty as hell. if you got an offer for me i wouldn't mind getting rid of it. i got a later reissue/remaster that i can live with.
