Fantastic gesture on Ringo's part, and a record which was, to all intents and purposes, impossible to obtain. Someone out there with money to burn will be a very happy man/woman. (Probably man, actually.)

I think that estimate is miles out... it's gonna go for stupid money.

Imagine owning that (you're going to have to)!

Phew... one available at a nice price at last.

I'll just go and check down the back of the sofa for some loose change among the fluff and buttons.

(What's the betting it ends up in that rack of White albums along with the rest?)

How do we know Ringo didn't stamp that on himself, to make Paul jealous?

Dunno, in theory George, John and Paul were not 'materialistic' so any idea that #1 was special wouldn't appeal to them. Ringo knew he was destined to read for TV etc the adventures of a fictional locomotive numbered 1, and so considered it appropriate for him to have.

Ringo Starr's drum kit sells for $2.1m

Or does this belong in the Music Memorabilia forum?

Surely if this was the "Absolute" first copy then the matrix and stampers should be

Side 1: -1/1G

Side 2: -1/1G

Side 3: -1/1G

Side 4: -1/1G

and not

Side 1: -1/1/HR

Side 2: -1/3/HH

Side 3: -1/3/PA

Side 4: -1/2/PT

I could be wrong

There was a discussion on similar matrix/stamper numbers on another site and they used as an example this picture

rubber-soul-emi-hayes-middlesex-1965-1024x666.jpg

to show that when putting albums together, even ones numbered like the white album, what you actually get in the way of the order of vinyl being pressed could be very very random.

I would have imagined that there were several pressing all working at once - a couple of 1000 pressings then moved to the packing department who would have started from the top of the pile (with higher numbers) and not the bottom of the pile.

Only just notice that the black sleeves only have a centre hole on the front and a solid sleeve on back, are labels with ‘An E.M.I. Recording’ rarer. :read:

I would say the opposite is the case as you can read here
