So how about giving us a little "History" on where you got the LP from etc? Or did I miss that part? Looks like a import of the white Lp to me? Should be worth a few pounds?

Its been in the family record collection for years.
My Mums Uncle picked it up at a garage sale and gave it to her when she was a teenager. We have never known anything more about it.
We have only ever had the 1 LP so i don't know what happened to the 2nd one if it actually was released with 2. The sleve does not appear to be torn or anything so it does not appear that there was ever a 2nd LP attached like some of the gate fold descriptions that have been mentioned.
Perhaps there is a lonely 2nd half of the album out there somewhere waiting to be reunited with its lost twin

Oh and the garage sale was in Australia. So i have no idea how it got from Taiwan to here.

When you say 'import' do u think it is a genuine release?
How many is a few pounds?

Historical these records were specially made for the United States Forces that were stationated on Taiwan in the sixties. At some times more than 35.000 GIīs were stationed there to protect Taiwan against China. To keep them happy and of course to make some money the local industrie just began pressing their own versions with western rock music, under them of course The Beatles. But all of them were counterfeits, no royalties was paid to the Beatles record company. By the way more than 150 !!! different titles were released until the late 70ies.

Funnily most of them carries mispelled names.

Sgt. Peppebīs loney hearps club band as a example

On european collector markets I have seen them for prices around € 50,00 and more

Hope I could help
