Hello folks. I'm new to this board and was wondering if anyone here could help me. I have a beatles album collection (vinyl) in good condition but there is one curiosity. They have forgotten to put Her Majesty on the Abbey Road album. Its got a parlaphone label. Does anyone know how an error could effect the value of this record.

not much its off the american apple release as well.the song is still on the record but not listed.which makes the end the last song.maybe someone did it on purpose.....

Thanks for the quick reply. Next time could your answer be more like."this rare anomoly is worth $100 000" that would have made my day.

Perhaps I could sue the manufacturer for stealing one song from me.

As PC said, a lot of copies of this LP didn't credit Her Majesty, but that's not what's important here. You say the record is pressed not on Apple but Parlophone  - this it COULD (stress the word 'could') be worth quite a bit! The record's value depends  on the following:

Firstly, what does the label look like - is it a black label with PARLOPHONE written in silver?

Secondly, check the label to find out where the record was made. If it's a UK pressing, it's VERY, VERY good news for you!

I'll be able to give you a better idea of the record's value once you've checked out the label.

Good luck and please let us know your findings!

The writing of Parlaphone is in silver. It was pressed in sydney, Australia. I reckon it's probably worth nothing and I miss out on a cool little song.

I just noticed that Her majesty is not even listed.


I also have a mint condition copy of the Liverpool times on the day Lennon was shot. Is that worth anything.

Her Majesty is probably on the LP (the very last grooves of side 2!) - they just missed it on the credits in a lot of cases.

And you're right, the fact that your LP is an Australian copy doesn't make it a rarity unfortunately!

It's probably worth around 25 GBP depending on the condition of it.
