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).

Never heard of this. Begs the question........why would there be a test pressing of a four year old Beatles LP, and on one side only? Pirate??

My only information is a matrix code and music.

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.
