Parlophone - Latest Updates

---

Comment by Lee Wrecker ●:

Could we have some clarity on how to deal with the MPL label. The ad on this page clearly shows MPL as the label. There is no mention of Parlophone on this page anywhere except for where we have in our wisdom decided to make that the label. It seems this is the case on the site with all UK McCartney/Wings releases from the mid 70's which were all released on MPL. Am I missing something here as it seems odd to me why we list these albums differently to elsewhere on the net.

Comment by Lee Wrecker ●:

Should we have a separate entry for the original 1971 Apple release. The label images supplied by alan45 are of that release and not this later reissue on Parlophone?

---

Comment by Lee Wrecker ●:

Should the label here be changed to MPL? The MPL logo is on the back cover and the labels clearly indicate MPL is the label as well. There is no mention of Parlophone anywhere on the product yet for some reason we have it listed as a Parlophone release. Can anyone tell me why this is the case?

This is a repress.
Sold in U.K. a.s.o. is not stated on first releases. Also is the MONO the short variant here

Comment by admiral halsey:

Goodbear66, you are correct. Decent yellow/black stereo's are uncommon. Probably outnumbered by 60's mono's by around 8:1. Whilst copies can be found by unwitting vendors on ebay under £30, copies have sold for figures of £500-£900. Obviously, these are mint/nr mint, and have a rare label or sleeve. In my opinion a decent stereo should be worth at least £100, up to £300. Obviously more if there is a rare aspect to it.
