BEATLES 1964 SWAN 'SIE LIEBT DICH / I'LL GET YOU' RARE WHITE LABEL
WEST COAST 45 RED NARROW PRINT TITLE WITH DON'T DROP OUT
The vinyl still appears glossy with the proper 'Virtue Studio' wax etchings. The record shows minor scratches and scuffs. Very nice for 58+ years old.
Bright 45 labels with NO writing, NO stickers, NO tears and NO tape.
The Original Swan S-4152 Sleeve is NM/M with absolutely NO seam splits.
Amazingly there's NO writing, NO tears, NO stickers with Pristine corners.
There is NO ring wear, NO rips, and NO glue residue. Very nice all around.
There is some minor wrinkling but that is fairly normal for these sleeves.
Super rare to find the West Coast copy with narrow printed title.
You also get the hard to find ORIGINAL Swan 'She Loves You' sleeve !!
Both the Swan white/red label 45 and the Sleeve look awesome together !! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the two US 1963 Vee Jay single releases 'Please Please Me/Ask Me Why' (VJ 498) and 'From Me To You/Thank You Girl' (VJ 522) did not climb high on the charts, George Martin landed a contact with Philadelphia based Swan Records to release the newest Beatles single, 'She Loves You/I'll Get You'.
A clause in the contract stipulated that if Swan Records were able to sell 50,000 copies of this particular record, they would then have right of first refusal on upcoming Beatles recordings. Unfortunately, this was not to be.
The initial release of the very first original issue was sporting red printing on a glossy white background. The single never made it to the magic number that would have kept the Beatles recording for the Swan record label.
When Capitol picked up the Beatles option with their release 'I Want To Hold Your Hand/I Saw Her Standing There', and Beatlemania hit, in 1964, Swan then re-released the single, only this time on a black label with silver print, which was their re-issue label colors. Another release (or re-release) is the blue print on a glossy white background, which was actually released in 1965, and never in tandem with the red on white label May 21, 1964.
On 21th. May 1964, Swan released a single pairing "Sie Liebt Dich (She Loves You)" with the same master recording "I'll Get You" that served as the B side to "She Loves You". The record lists the group as "DIE BEATLES" on its A side label. All copies of the original single have white labels with "DON'T DROP OUT" and have "VIRTUE STUDIO" hand etched markings in their trail off areas. None have any production credits. Fakes don't have 'Virtue' script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shipping is Lightning-Fast and FREE via USPS 2/3 Day Priority Mail -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
