Question

Hi!

Have you ever seen/heard of a misprint in the Beatles record "Revolver" label where the song "love you to" is listed as "love yoy to"?.
I have such a record Parlophone PCS 7009  (YEX 605-6).
(This record also has the known misprint -  STATES "DOCTOR" ON RECORD LABEL  AND "DR." ON COVER.)
Thanks in advance!
Jack

Hi, Jack,

I've never heard of the "love yoy to" misprint that you wrote about, and you may have a pretty unique record there! I'm not at all qualified to judge the value of such records, but you could look into collectors items sites on the Net and maybe contact them to ask their opinion. Here's a start: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=collectors+items+beatles&btnG=Google+Sear...

My collection of original Beatles LP records was stolen 20 years ago in a burglary, and I've just got the Blue Box Set now, with all the original albums in it. I've checked the copy of Revolver and it does state "Doctor" on the label and "Dr." on the cover. Therefore this seems to be intentional, and not a misprint. Just my humble opinion...

However ... here's some eBay stuff you might look into: http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ht=1&shortc...

Hope this helps.
