Hello everyone. I would like to ask for advice. I have a test pressing with the other side. Beatles "Oldies" YEX-1G B-side. (3nd pressing ?) And on the other side of the. YAX 4076-16. This is Shadows "Shades of Rock" B-side 1970. Is this a well-known and whether it has value? Condition is vg+ |

This is not a well-known record. Pictures would be interesting. I assume it's valuable, even if it's from outside of the UK. Test pressings generally fetch quite some money regarding the fact that they are really scarce (with a few exceptions). |

Typed matrix numbers ? They made test pressings for every now rerelease, even now when an LP is pressed, first a test pressing is made. The company needed to test several stampers, by using both sides for different artists it would be more efficient ? Or a simple error maybe. These things even occur on stock copies.... |

Could be a pirate from somewhere that didn't have a pressing licence for the Beatles. Could also be legit, but more info needed to establish this. AH |
