Title: Rare version of Beatles album finally sells for £12,000
Post by: Simon on January 02, 2013, 11:56

A rare copy of a Beatles LP signed by all four band members has finally been sold - for the sum rejected at auction in Sussex a few weeks earlier.

Chris Collins, from Eastbourne, and his sister, Liz Chambers, from Worthing, initially turned down a £12,000 bid for a copy of the album, Please Please Me.

They had hoped to get £15,000 for the LP, which was given to their late father during a drinking session.

But the siblings have now accepted £12,000 from private buyers.

I have the stereo version of that album which I bought in 1963.  It's supposed to be rare because most versions sold were in mono.

Thanks very much for that useful website Den.  I'm not worth as much as I thought!  But I have some Tamla Motown albums worth over £100 each.   8-)
