Well, at the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon, you can stick this next to the RSD Paperback Writer in the desirability stakes as far as I'm concerned. It's a rarity that has absolutely *nothing* to do with the Beatles during their recording career.

As for LMD itself, I just played my original single and it still sounds naff  :D


I have to agree, but the buyers have got the ball rolling now. It will be interesting to see whether these mispressings will actually gain in legendary status and value (think Butcher cover) as time passes - I have to assume that's where the bet is. Otherwise, for the money, they'de be better advised to search out decent originals.

I have 2 original red UK Parlophone label copies and the 2 most collectable black Parlophone labels, one with the "Sold in UK..." text, the other without, all in Ex+ condition. Except for the one copy, I paid, on average, about the same as the current mispressings. :)

Rather than Butcher cover (a true Beatles heyday withdrawal), I'd be inclined to put these in the same category as the Heineken cassette :D

When I first started collecting, I felt I had to have everything that record Collector told me was valuable - and I searched for that tape, I really did.

The Heineken cassette is a good one to have. It's only drawback is that it's a cassette.
That's the first appearance worldwide of "Yes it Is" in true stereo.

Some good stuff on 45cat.
The new issue has been sold in some shops.
okun69 at 45cat states "Please note the B-side retains the incorrect catalog number of 45-R 4714"

and
"On original withdrawn release BC88258-01A1 is etched in the run-out groove while this other version has BC91232-01A etched in the run-out groove."

Bugger, was hoping they would have corrected the error on side 2 so that a visual IDing was possible.

Still the recalled ones are going slightly down in price - last week all were way over 50 quid now some are going for only around 40.

Still want one though!!!

Just recieved a re-pressed copy today from a record shop that trades on E-Bay & it does indeed have the same wrong number on the B side. I've just rung the guy to confirm that it is the re-pressing & he said yes & that I was the second guy to ring him & check.
The lettering on the re-pressing is a lot brighter, on the 1st pressing it is very dull & hard to read.
