Abbey Road SO 383 2nd Purple Label error

In 1978 Capitol Canada reissued Abbey Road on the 2nd Purple Label. For a short time this album was released with a noticeable printing error on the label. Instead of "Abbey Road" the title on the label is written as "Abby Road". 



Copies can be found with the error label on one side and a corrected label on the other. I am assuming this is true for both side 1 and side 2. Some error label copies can be found in covers with off-set ink producing a blurred image.  

The error was quickly corrected creating a collectible variation. Few  copies of this error label have come up for sale so a value of $60+ is a guesstimate only.
