Question

At the left is the word microgroove now for the problem my songs include side one

1 I Saw Her Standing There
2 Misery
3 Anna
4 Chains
5 Boys
6 Ask Me Why (is on album label, but on the back cover it is listed Love Me Do and plays Ask Me Why)

2nd side

1 Please Please  Me Is on album label  (but on album jacket it says P.S. I love you but plays Please Please Me)
2 Baby Its You
3 Do You Want To Know A Secret
4 A Taste Of Honey
5 There's a place
6 Twist And Shout

if you can help me i would be very appreciated.   I would like to know more about this and also if you would know an approximate value and authenticity.   Thank you.  Chuck


Answer
This is the most counterfeited album of all time.  I am enclosing a link which explains the history of the album as well as some very detailed information on how to identify it and then classify its price.  If you have a true original, it is worth upwards of $7000 to a collector.  However, most of these records are fakes.  Good luck!
