Beatles, The/Beatles 45 RPM Mistake

Expert: - 5/30/2009


Question
I have a 45 of I'm Down & Help on the Capitol label. On the Help side thier is a blank label, no title or artist. I believe this is very rare. Thoughts on value?

Answer
Hi Tim!

Well, it all depends on a few things. Yes, it certainly has value. Any error on a Beatles item raises the value somewhat. The things that determine value are always the same. The condition of the record and which issue it is (it was released more than once on Capitol). If you have the original 1965 release in the picture sleeve in near mint condition, the current value is around $15. If you have a true pressing mistake, then you could probably get about $45-$50 for it. Without the picture sleeve, deduct about $10. I hope this has helped. (no pun intended)

Peace,
Pattie
