Description
This is my third book detailing The Beatles' UK records. My first two volumes were published by Apcor and received 5 star reviews in the Record Collector magazine.
This is part of my ongoing work documenting The Beatles' UK record releases. This research began during lockdown and is planned to include at least five volumes. So, this is not a thrown together book, but thoroughly researched over many years.
Review from Beatles collecting forum: Guys, “our” Admiral has done it again! I got his two books today and they are a gorgeous read. The book on export pressing has been researched tremendously well and contains a lot of information on “false” export pressings, label variants, foreign pressings with UK sleeves etc.
The Red Album years has great pictures and I hadn’t seen most of the newspaper and magazine articles before.
Terrific jobs, Admiral!
All arrived safely. Thank you. The book is nicely bound and good paper stock.(Mark, eBay)

In this volume covering 220 A4 pages, presented in hardback on 130gsm sewn spine pages, The Beatles' records manufactured in the U.K. for export are explored in detail. All label variants are shown on all available formats. The entire DP series of singles exports is explored, so too are the CPCS series of LPs. Whilst values fluctuate, some guidance is given on the rarity of the discs shown.
In addition, as some copies were exported, the Let It Be box set and Get Back book are fully explored, throwing up some surprising rarities!
Buyers of this book will be armed with the knowledge to out fox dealers! They will try to convince you that they have a Decca export LP. All these exports and contract pressings are explored, and myths debunked! If you are a dealer, this volume will give an idea if the record you wish to sell is common or hens teeth variety.

Also included are worldwide releases which look like U.K. exports or use the export numbers. You will also discover which LPs were sold around the globe in sleeves made in the U.K. and exported.
