Reissue rarities: Beatles VI and Yesterday and Today with a gold stamped "STEREO" on the cover.


Two Canadian Beatles' albums were reissued with the word STEREO stamped in gold lettering on the cover.  Two reissues of Beatles VI along with a reissue of Yesterday and Today carried the stamp on the front cover.  All three were issued for only a brief period in early 1970.

Beatles VI:
Early in 1970 Beatles VI was reissued on the last black rainbow Capitol label in a cover with the the word STEREO stamped in gold on the front. 

A month or two later Beatles VI was reissued with Capitol's new green target label and a small number of these discs were issued in a cover with the gold STEREO stamp on the front.



Yesterday and Today:

In early 1970 Y&T was released on the green target label and again some covers came with a gold STEREO stamp.

The gold stamped STEREO albums were issued in small numbers creating hard to find Canadian rarities.  These albums are rare and do not come up for sale often.  My guesstimate of the selling price of either album in excellent condition is $100 to $150.
