This is a compilation of the two other Beatles guides I have for sale under my other items, and includes "Misprints & Mispressings", "More Misprints & Anomalies"  As all the subjects are related and of interest to all Beatles collectors, I have put both into one compilation guide. Colour illustrated.

 In total, 50 pages of premium, colour, A4 text and graphics paper within spine clipped, black "leather effect" covers, or the same style presentation folder with brass coloured paper fastener. This is a personally researched and authored document presented in a nice booklet form.

This double guide includes all the prime unintended misprints and mispressings on all original albums from "Please Please Me" (including the rare 1963-pressed PPM, mono, "only 2 copies exist", mis-ordered Side 2 label tracklisting) through to "Let It Be" (and there are many), and all the known anomalies which range from the dark copy of "With The Beatles", through the hair on John Lennon's jacket shoulder on "Rubber Soul", the "Let It Be" additional "Get Back" book, Apple leaflet, and "red apple", the "Hard Day's Night" outline stereo marked front cover, the wide spine "Sgt Pepper", and the "fourth proof Sgt. Peppers" gatefold sleeve, the "Sold in the UK etc..." text, the "Parlophone Co Ltd" and "Gramophone Co Ltd" label rim text, the lesser known song title and publishing errors on the White Album, contract pressings, the musical differences between the mono and stereo versions of "Sgt Pepper" and more.....   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.

As a separate fact sheet, the guide also includes the "That'll Be The Day"/ "In Spite Of All The Danger" 78rpm demo which the Quarry Men (Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Lowe and Hanton) had recorded for themselves at Percy Phillips studio in Kensington, Liverpool in July 1958 approx. 5 years before their eventual success as The Beatles.

Also included now are misprints and mispressings/anomalies on the later non-first release repressings of the late 1960s and early 1970s, along with the  occasional rare, but standard regular albums, that are regarded as collectible either because of their very small quantity pressing runs, or some other desirability

Four or five more misprints and mispressings/anomalies have been discovered recently, since I first compiled this guide over two years ago, and now feeling that I am pretty much up to date nearly all those known, I have now included them in this, the latest edition.

A different and separate "Guide To Beatles UK 45rpm Singles & Extended Plays (EPs) - Misprints and Mispressings/Anomalies 1962-1970" is available under "my other items"

Posting in UK and worldwide. Each additional guide listed under my "other items" attracts a half price postage discount.
