A Guide to The Beatles UK Albums: 1963-70 - "Matrix, Mother and Stamper Numbers"

Have you ever wondered what those trail off area etchings mean around the circumference of your Beatles record label? Known as matrix, mother and stamper numbers, they mean a lot to collectors, and can realise a higher value for your Beatles LP Album than what they already enjoy.This guide will explain what they mean, tell you whether your Beatles album is an early pressing, and help you date your record whether it is an early or late release. It will give you the details in a clear, concise and factual way.

Eg. Only Sgt Peppers with mothers 6 and 7 had the song title "Day In The Life" missing from the side 2 label. Also mother 8's onwards had the plain white EMI generic inner sleeve (and not the red/white swirl "Fools" sleeve)

Text/colour illustrated on premium white A4 graphics paper all in luxury black "leather effect" card covers bound together with a spine clip, or same finish presentation folder.
