Latest Updates - The Beatles

Comment by mister_tmg:

So if this was a release taken from an EP, might that be why there was another issue of both sides in the Philippines with different couplings?

Ah, I think the problem is that I was searching for “Beatles day tripper 78” which fails to bring up listings with the term “78rpm”. I’ll have to try searching with that term too. Thanks for the links.

I added links to all my valuations too, but they get removed for some reason.

I’m not sure I would interpret Fair as being equal to VG. I assume that is based on the description and images.

I had added the link to my valuation, but it has been removed.

Jan. 27, 2021: sold on ebay for £1,255 ($1,498, 32 bids) in FAIR condition (which I rendered as VG) with the original sleeve in FAIR condition:
"FAIR- played through on both sides, plays reasonably well but with surface noise & hiss, the odd pop or click- it will not skip, jump or stick, however, as you can see, I'm playing it with a Clear Audio Concept V2 cartridge...- has been played many times before- this 78rpm has not been cleaned, has storage bloom, a number of scuffs- surface is covered with extremely light marks & a dullness in patches- there are a few light scratches but no deep scratches or chips."
(popsike link)

I've now also found another sales result:
Mar. 1, 2022: sold on ebay for £ 822 (18 bids) in Near Mint condition:
"VINYL CONDITION NEAR MINT- as per the photographs- played once, plays superbly throughout - no chips or scratches, the odd light scuff- been in storage a long time, needs a wipe- doubtful a better copy out there."
(popsike link)

The sales result you entered was from Jan. 11, 2021 (it's the highest, thus shown first in popsike):
Jan. 11, 2021: sold on ebay for £1,880 ($2,244 , 23 bids) in Very Good condition, without sleeve: "CONDITION VERY GOOD- played through on both sides, plays well, it will not skip, jump or stick, there is hiss & light surface noise, however, as you can see from the photo, I'm playing it with a Clear Audio Concept V2 cartridge...- this item prior to me was in fact unplayed, as it was found as part of old stock- this 78rpm has not been cleaned, very minor storage bloom, the odd light scuff- there are no scratches or chips."
(popsike link)

All these were from the same seller who bought them from someone who found them in India a year earlier.

My guess is, there are probably quite a few of them still out there, hiding in Indian basements and attics.

Can you share a link? I can’t see it on Popsike.

Comment by xiphophilos:

I've added the result of the Jan. 2021 ebay auction as well.

Comment by mister_tmg:

I can only see one copy having sold on eBay, based on Popsike listings. I’ve added it to the Valuations.

Comment by xiphophilos:

Thanks for finding this image. Have deleted all the Filipino labels.

Comment by liskeard78s:

Moderator - you may as well delete those others (or lose them somewhere). I was prompted to provide an Indian label of this disc. Found it (hiding in my external drive after all).

Comment by mister_tmg:

A promotional version sold on eBay back in 2004, but the description sounds like a stock copy with ‘SAMPLE RECORD NOT FOR SALE’ stamped on it. The labels are quite probably the same as the stock versions.

Comment by mister_tmg:

Can you add a picture of it to this site please? It isn’t known to exist.

Comment by vinyl_dave:

mister_tmg - that's not evidence. (Also it doesn't have a catalogue number so doesn't count.)
