HELP! needed on this one: http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u395/1...mage.jpg1_9.jpg http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u395/1...age.jpg1_10.jpg After having done some research I wonder if this copy is a cross over, as the Ken Thorne credit only appears on side one. I understand that the revised labels should list this credit on both sides. Help me if you can! |

Yes. They were clearly still using up side-two labels with the first variation. |

Poor Ken (who died two years ago, aged 90)! Out of pecuniary reasons, his contribution is only revealed on side 1 of this copy. Does this add to the value of the record? Can it generally be said that crossovers are more collectible / valuable? |

The opposite is true. There are a lot of mis-matched copies. People who collect the label variation usually want them properly matched. The value wouldn't be lower than the first variation, but it isn't higher either. |

So it's like buying shoes: Always look for a matching pair! : :) |

I'd say it depends on the LP and the relative rarity of the variations. For example, a version 2 copy of Introducing The Beatles with oval/brackets crossover labels is considerably harder to find than matched labels in either style, and generally commands a premium. I imagine the same would apply to B&Y/one box crossovers for the UK LPs. |

But oval and brackets are two different BACKDROPS. Yes, that sort of thing is scarcer. For example, we have never seen a Beatles album on Capitol with a rainbow label on one side and a green label on the other. |

You're right, they aren't the same thing. I'm a bit surprised there are no known examples of a rainbow/green Capitol crossover, although the labels are so different they would stand out. I imagine subsidiary/non-subsidiary rainbow Capitol crossovers might exist, since the difference is considerably more subtle. |
