Most of them were made like that. They came out in 1965, which is why the credits are correct. Of all the copies appearing on popsike that can be identified, exactly half of the black/yellow label copies of Something New have the "Sold in UK" misprint. I do not know how many of the correct copies have the original "Parlophone" print and how many have the "Gramophone" print (1966-1969), but it would seem to me that Gramophone copies are less scarce. Generally speaking, the first issue (even if it's wrong) is pressed in more quantities than later issues. This is also true on MOST American pressings. The first issue of Beatles Second Album is more common than the corrected issue. The first issue of Sgt. Pepper is more common than the corrected issue. However, that doesn't mean people WANT the later issues more. I'd rather have a red-label (Capitol) copy of Yesterday and Today from 1971, but almost everyone else would rather have the less rare butcher cover! On British pressings, people are also interested in the master/stamper ID. If you have copies with masters of "G" on both sides, double the price! Frank Daniels
