 "A Guide to The Beatles UK 45rpm Singles & Extended Play (EP) Records,1962 -1970: Misprints, Mispressings, Anomalies and Rarities".  Colour illustrated.

 In total, 42 pages of premium, colour, A4 text and graphics paper within spine clipped, black "leather effect" covers. This is a personally researched and authored document presented in a nice booklet form. It can be sent to you in CD form if preferred.

 This guide identifies Beatles 45rpm singles misprints, mispressings, anomalies and rarities. Among them is the highly valued "Love Me Do" demo and commercial red/silver single, the "Please Please Me" red/silver single, how the Parlophone/Gramophone label rim text helps dating a pressing, identifying contract pressings, the "All You Need Is Love" error, the "one off" tri-centre press of the same, the rare "Hard Day's Night" double demo, the "Hello, Goodbye" French contract press, and the "I Am The Walrus" stereo mispress, and one mystery as yet unsolved. 

This guide also includes the prime, unintended misprints and mispressings on original and repressing EPs, and include "Twist and Shout", "All My Loving", "Beatles For Sale", "Long Tall Sally", "Nowhere Man" and "Magical Mystery Tour". The details of the aborted "Beatles Golden Discs" EP of 1964 are included as are the details of "The Beatles Million Sellers" EP. All copies with these quality control malfunctions and variations seem to fetch premium prices above the ordinary copies even when not in the higher categories of condition. Matrix and stamper information is included.

The subject of Beatles vinyl misprints and mispressings/anomalies is a complex one, and this booklet attempts to make some clarity of those associated the Beatles 45rpm singles and four track extended plays (EPs)
