Answer
Hi Wally!

Well, I'm assuming you want it appraised, correct? To give you a fair idea of what it's worth, I really need to know what condition the LP is in, including the cover and labels. Is it mono or stereo? Unfortunately, this is the most bootlegged LP in history, so you have to be very precise when grading it. Does the label have a rainbow pattern or is it solid black with lettering? What does the back cover of the LP jacket look like, does it have pictures of various LP's or is it a track listing only? Does the Vee-Jay label say "Vee-Jay" or "VJ"? If it says "VJ", does it have brackets around it or not? As you can probably tell by now, this particular LP has many variations. Your mis-labeled LP could be worth quite a bit of money if it's genuine, but I can't make any sort of determination without the information above. "Please, Please Me" wasn't on all issues of the LP, so that does narrow it down a bit, but not quite enough. I can tell you this, though, if you have a original issue LP that is mis-labeled and in good shape, it could be worth well over a thousand dollars. Let me know, okay? Thanks for the question!

Peace,
Pattie

P.S. Better yet, if you can take a picture of all parts of the LP for me and host it online and send me a link to the pictures, that may help tremendously.
