Rare Beatles Single Goes Up For Auction This Week
A rare early Beatles single is expected to sell for up to $11,300 at auction after it attracted interest from bidders worldwide.
The Beatles’ 1962 demonstration record contains the band’s hit songs Love Me Do and P.S. I Love You, and what makes this one so rare is that it is only 1 of 250 in the world.
Another Reason That Makes This Single Rare
This isn’t the first time Sir Paul McCartney has been the subject of a headline misspelling his name. It is unique because his sir name is incorrectly spelled as “McArtney.”
“Pual” McCartney misspelling on the right of the record. The 45′ single is from Paul & Linda McCartney’s “RAM,” LP before Paul started the band WINGS years later.
The Auction Is Underway Soon With World Wide Interest From Collectors
The seven-inch vinyl would go under the auction block at Stacey’s Auctioneers’ sale in Chelmsford, Essex, on Monday, June 24th, 2024.
How Come They Only Made 250 Back Then?
Several tracks were pressed and distributed locally to TV and radio stations before the record’s release on 5 October 1962. This makes it an especially rare Beatles single from the earliest days of the band’s career.
The vinyl was estimated to sell for between $8,000 – $11,000 US.
P.S. I Love You (Live At The BBC For “Pop Go The Beatles” / 25th June 1963)
What Is The Most Rare Beatles Record?
The Beatles’ 1968 self-titled album, known as ‘The White Album,’ tops the list. The four band members were each given one of the first four pressings of the album, each unit with its serial number on the front, and Ringo Starr’s copy (No. 0000001) sold for a record-breaking $790,000
It’s one of the most important albums ever recorded. The Beatles White Album Pressing No. 0000001 was given to Ringo Starr upon the album’s completion, with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison receiving Nos. 0000002-4. It was pressed from the very first masters.
