Wish I could help you out, new guy, but it sounds like a cool collectible to have, counterfeit or not.

Japan & some other asian countries used red vinyl for a lot of their records, always wondered why they rarely did that in the States.

I just bought a Rubber Soul "korean" print blindly knowing what it's value is. The album is almost exactly like the original except it is fully blue. You can also tell where part of the Capitol records label was cropped out of the picture for copy write purposes maybe? The album also says the word "girl" on the letter "S" in Rubber Soul. The album is printed on the TAEDO record label. The label is light red and the song titles seem to be almost stamped on. From what I've read this is a North Korean counterfeit, but I'm not 100% ...

I get it myself in FF. No idea of the cause. No kickbacks here, promise.

If I get time I'll query it with the forum plugin people.

Which browser are you using when you have the "You must be logged on" status? I've been having the same issue. I've noticed it when using Firefox and not so much when I use IE. (Maybe Joe is getting kick backs from Bill Gates.)

I think it does that sometimes but I don't know why. Probably a cookie issue. Really, no idea. It bugs me too.

Joe, since I can reply to this topic, I wanted to let you know something. When I went to another topic to reply to a post, it wouldn't let me. At the top it told me I had to be logged in to post. Any idea on what may be happening?

' The Taedo label stuff is counterfeit '. Wow, hope I don't get busted after 40 years!

That is an interesting fact about how many were printed.

' I don't know if that makes yours valuable.'......I would suppose that the end of a sale on Ebay would probably show that.

I really appreciate all that you have found out. I always knew it was an oddball. One guy, many years ago, offered me $50 for it ( which is about $35 GBP ), I had to refuse it, knowing, just maybe, it might be more than that. Hey, my luck, I might ...

OK, I've found out a little bit about the South Korean releases. The Taedo label stuff is counterfeit (meaning not approved by EMI or Apple). I've got a picture in a book (Beatles Worldwide by Christophe Maus) of the Abbey Road pressing similar to yours. I think they did them in blue because they didn't have sophisticated printing facilities.

Apparently the records were printed in small quantities of around 500-1,000, making them hard to come by. I don't know if that makes yours valuable.

Thanks for the link, I will contact them to see if they know anything.

Yes, my brother was up at the DMZ in South Korea at the time.

Skye, it was I who wrote on the jacket. Didn't give it much thought at the time.

Here the Abbey Road album that I also got at the same time frame.The back cover was untouched, but look at the ad-libbing they did on the front cover. The AR album never had the large block letters on any of it's cover, did it? I never could find one, at least looking at eBay.

Speaking of eBay,

That's a crazy way to repackage the artwork. I suspect Apple never had any idea this was being put out.

The label says 1970, so it's not an original pressing. Other than that I don't have a lot of info on Korean (South, I presume) Beatles releases - I might be able to do some research, but I don't have the sources to hand.

I suspect Skye is correct and it's a bootleg, but I couldn't tell you for sure. I've never been much of a Beatles collector, beyond the original UK pressings - there are so many variations worldwide, including unofficial ...

Holy cow!....that's about $175.00 US.....bit out of my blood also.

Ok, here is a link to the inside cover/ right side above the 4 pictures. Two Virgins / Close up / inside left cover..see where the ' SR ' of USSR was blocked out at time of printing. Record company label on front cover. Side three label on record, look at the bands name. Not from heat...maybe a little more glue would ahve been nice? lol

So, how many here have ever seen this cover / album? Surprising though, it ...

We're ok with that album. In fact, it was discussed a bit earlier – Two Virgins album cover…YIKES! There is no spoiler option that I'm aware of, but I think it would be useful. How about it Joe?

I can't help with the Korean cover, but if you have the cash, this book might be of use to you: The Beatles Covered. At € 139.25, it's a bit out of my price range.

Edit: Ok, I read your post on the album article. My guess is that it's a bootleg. I could see ...
