Hi all, new to the forum so still finding my feet! I've been collecting and selling Beatles records for years and I've just came across this Sgt Pepper mono 1 box with STEREO matrices and Yex on both labels...it plays in stereo.

Not sure how this error would've happened and I can't find much info on the net or from past sales.

What do you guys think?

These sort of things turn up from time to time. It's more a mis-labelling than a mis-pressing. I have a Hey Jude Lp with the same label both sides, and a Help! which actually plays the same both sides! There's also BOJ&Y with a Get back & old brown shoe labels on it, and probably many more. Some people love these sort of quirks.

AH

yes l love these quirks, this is a known error so there are more of them but they are collectable and so a very nice find !

Another known error is an early 70's mmt stereo with some sides with the mono matrix and so plays mono, i had one ( sadly not now ) with Blue Jay Way in mono.

Having said that all Ballads have a mono matrix and play stereo, but that one does not count since that was clearly a screw up when they allocated the matrix prefix being the first stereo single.

Yeah I just find it bizarre how these things happen...Mis-labelling sounds about right to me.

Any idea on its value? I've spoken to Perry Cox.

I suspect what Perry Cox can get for any LP is more than you or I could get for the very same LP.

Obviously you will do well -- if you sell it, let us know if you made Perry Cox money or muffmasterh money.

If you don't sell it, you have a very cool LP.

Hmmm potentially. I believe a record of this kind will make a great amount either way. How could I make muffmasterh money...?

I've sold through Perry Cox before and it was really successful but I don't like the sound of the fees he charges.

Haha couldn't quite tell if that was a joke or not - I've seen your stuff sell on eBay for loads! And you always have the highest quality, rare items.

I think I'm going to list this on eBay soon and see what happens.
