Question
I have an album that is called Beatle talk and it is sealed in a album cover that is pure white instead of the cover that has their photo on it. It says it was produced in summner WA. I think.  Is this a boot leg?

Answer
It would definitely not be an "official" release from the Beatles.  However, that doesn't necessarily qualify it as a bootleg, just not an authorized release from their publishing company.  I am aware of an album called "Beatle Talk Downunder" which chronicles some interviews from their 64-66 tours.  It is likely that this album is similar to that, being a bunch of interviews rather than songs.  These are common and don't command much money in the market place.  I would suggest either opening it and listening to it to find out what's on it, or put it up to see if some idiot on eBay wants it.  If for some reason, it starts commanding a high price, you can always pull it, but I am 99.9999% sure that this is a common interview disc.
