And what price would it command if it were an actual original '66 slab in actual original pink finish?

Looks like someone over did it when spraying the black.

I think Peter Sarstedt played bass in his brother's band: Eden Kane [i.e. Richard Sarstedt] & the Downbeats.

That does appear to me to line up with where the original mutes were screwed into the body.

I felt it wasn't as poor and indeed was much better than I feared. I enjoyed it more when hearing it with the video. It might not have made the cut for any actual Beatles LP ... except the Anthology, perhaps its true home ... but for the completist it was surely necessary. I guess the technology used here and on Peter Jackson's Get Back film, will be digging up many other goodies from way beyond The Beatles catalogue.

A 'pony' would have been more exciting as the price and not the name. That's £25 for our cousins across the water.
