There we go, I never knew the album was so different in the US.
No mine is an original copy as bought by my father when it came out. Are you sure those linked sales are originals? I've definitely seen copies identical to mine go for significant amounts of money...
They are originals. You've got to remember there was well over a million copies sold in the first few weeks it went on sale and in 1966 the Mono version was the normal version because only the wealthy owned "stereograms". Interestingly, The Beatles and George Martin were always present at the mixing of the mono recordings, the stereo mixes were left to the junior engineers because they weren't considered to be very important.
The big money goes for mint condition (which are new and never been played) or near mint condition copies which are basically as brand new but have been played before. There are a lot of Beatles collectors in the States so obviously the American market will pay more for perfect original UK copies.
Those copies for sale on that site are mostly in VG conditions which means they are not scratched and play perfectly but have slight areas of wear and tear on the covers, which even the most cherished of 44 year old albums will probably have. If you are lucky and yours is in NM condition, you'll get 2 or 3 times as much for it depending on the rarity.
My latest pickup
I just picked up one of these Moleskine Covers from Inkleaf Leather Co. on Etsy.
I have a friend of a friend who knows the couple who makes these and having seen them in person, they're really nice. Completely done by hand too. They have a large size in the works, but I don't know when they're going to post it up on their shop.

I hate the Apple Store. Every time I go for a repair or something, I end up leaving with a lighter wallet.
I didn't know that - an interesting tidbit! Cheers. I was under the impression though that Revolver the one album from The Beatles that really didn't sell in bucket-loads...
Ah there we go, I was looking at un-opened copies. Makes sense!
Some of these.. In preparation of my holiday to Las Vegas and New York.
For the strip clubs?

That'd be real classy.
Few more......
Bruce Springsteen
Creedence Clearwater Revival
So I was watching Wonder Years, where Kevin learns to play this (Canon in D major) and I ran across it for a $1
Rolling Stones - Exile on Main st
Rubber Soul
Sgt Pepper - I think this is my favorite Beatles album so far
An oldie but a goodie
The only thing that I don't like about the 6th season of The Office is that the place holders for the disc's suck. It is like you have to bend the disc to get it out. After I found that out, I took them all out and placed them in their own slimline jewel cd case.

Lime Green Default Case for iPhone 3GS, after seeing the case for the iPhone 4 on SchneiderMan's site:
I am still looking for an interesting skin for the back of my iPad though

Nice, I will have to listen to those some more. Every time i play Sgt Pepper, it makes me like it more and more. I will put it away for a while to listen to the others more, haha

Hey man is that NAS enclosure? What's the name? And what kind of drives did you get?
Everything is new except the record and mushroom guy. Shirt was $5. And I had to have the little question mark cubes. Next up: green mushroom head.

Now that I finished the main mission of Mafia II, I downloaded the Jimmy's Vendetta add on from the Playstation Store. A lot of fun, so far.
