Description

BEATLES RARITY ; 12INCH 78 RPM BBC TRANSCRIPTION DISC - 'FROM ME TO YOU'

AUTHENTICATED IN WELL KNOWN RECORD MAGAZINE, FOR POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION USE WHERE OLD TECHNOLOGY MAY STILL HAVE BEEN USED IN THE EARLY SIXTIES.....

"THE QUESTION IS---IS IT GENUINE? ABSOLUTELY. BEING A LONG ESTABLISHED INSTITUTION SIMILAR TO UNITED ARTISTS, PERHAPS THE BBC HADNT' FULLY INVESTED IN 'WHITE HEAT' TECHNOLOGY AT THIS TIME AND STILL RELIED ON THEIR STEAM-POWERED STATE-OF-THE-ARK CUTTING EQUIPMENT FOR THEIR IN-HOUSE DEMONSTRATION DISCS, AT ANY RATE, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN NO MORE THAN A FEW EXAMPLES PRODUCED, AND PERHAPS THIS IS THE ONLY COPY IN EXISTENCE" (DIGGING FOR GOLD, RC 288)

WHITE LABEL TRIMMED WITH GREEN. BBC - BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION IN SMALLER LETTERS.

HANDWRITTEN AND MISTAKENLY TITLED THE BEETLES "IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT" - INSTEAD OF THE BEATLES, "FROM ME TO YOU"

FLIPSIDE PLAYS FRANK IFIELD "NOBODY'S DARLING BUT MINE",(SOME MILDEW MARKS THIS SIDE) ANOTHER RATED RECORDING ARTIST IN 1963

THE RECORDING FINISHES WITH A VERY BRIEF VOCAL INTERLUDE "THERES..." THAT SUGGESTS IT WAS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A TELEVISION / RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE TRACK TIMING LASTS WITH THIS INCLUSION APPROXIMATELY 154 SECONDS. THE RECORD IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND PLAYS WELL WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE SCRATCHES OR JUMPS, THOUGH IS A LITTLE CRACKLEY BACKGROUND AFTER 46YEARS. BEATLES VOCALS STILL SOUND GREAT!

THIS IS A GUARANTEED ORIGINAL ITEM AND IF INTERESTED SHOULD HAVE NO WORRIES ON THIS SCORE.

CAN SEND MP3 COPY BY EMAIL.

THANK YOU

SORRY I HAD TO RELIST THIS ITEM AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO BID EARLIER.
