The Beatles 'Love Me Do' 7" Single Sells for Nearly $15,000 on Discogs

This is the one with the "McArtney" misprint where only 250 of them exist.

So, does anyone here have one?

 

Think I've got one down the back of my sofa.

 

I have 251 copies ...

 

I wish

 

A picture of the record would make the article a lot better.

 

Not the one for sale, but a different copy:

 

This Nigerian 45 got the spelling wrong too:

 

I've got the ultra-rare "Lenin-McCarthy" single, currently valued at over two million dollars.
I'm holding onto it for sentimental reasons.

 

This would have only been sent to radio DJs, right?

 

Hey, that one belongs to everyone, man...

 

I presume. Also, maybe other people connected with promotion (like reviewers from Melody Maker or NME).

 

No, but my brother had a single by Tull that was credited to Jethro Toe. And gave it away many years ago!

 

Here's the Discogs page:
The Beatles - Love Me Do

 

As you should, Vladimir Lenin and Charley McCarthy were an underrated songwriting team. My favorite song from their catalog is ‘How Can I Control the Means of Production with Your Hand Up My A$$?’

 

I thought that was an Elton John song.

 

I spent only 89 cents on the download.

 

The Ringo version? Or the Andy White version?

 

yes I have one, slim chance it may even have been John's copy too ( sadly not provable ), its not the misprint thats a side issue - it is because its a demo, all the demos are misprinted as far as i know...

 

yes thats a UK Mgm press i think, valuable but in the low 100s i think not thousands

 

thats right Arnie, they are stamped in the deadwax JR for journalistic review, a practice emi ceased mid 65, after that demo's had standard mother stampers, usually low ones like 1G 1G

 

15 grand.
Insanity! Insanity for rich people only.

Yeah,
a record with a misspelling sounds SOOOOO much better!

 

I have the US copy of the "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey" 45 where on one side his name is spelled "PUAL", don't s'pose that would be as rare.

 

all UK beatles demos are fetching big money these days but LMD has always had a big premium attached to it because it probably had a much smaller run than the other demo's as they were unknowns

 

Imagine how much a correctly spelled one would fetch

 

I have a couple of questions about this promo single which I do not find answers for in the article referenced. What country was this pressed in? And was it produced at the time of release or after the infamous Epstein-Lennon holiday to Spain? The reason I ask is that I thought the credits would read McArtney-Lennon.
