The Beatles - 'The Beatles Million Sellers' E.P. GEP 8946
The Beatles 1965 UK 1st FACTORY SAMPLE DEMO pressing of 'The Beatles Million Sellers' E.P. Released on the 6th December 1965, this version is the rare early 'GOLDEN DISCS' mis-pressing example.
These initial early factory sample pressings would have usually been given out to reviewers, radio stations or used as quality control within the pressing plant.
In 1964 an E.P had been planned which was going to contain the Beatles 'Gold Discs' up to that point (songs which had sold over 1 million copies). One year later and this E.P ('The Beatles Million Sellers') was the result of that planning. These first pressings actually have 'Golden Discs' printed on the vinyl labels and are housed within 'The Beatles Million Sellers' E.P cover. The track listing on both the vinyl labels and cover matches identically. After the first batch had been pressed EMI quickly spotted their mistake and reverted to the correct title on the cover AND the label. This of course, makes these copies from that first batch very collectable.
Released on the Parlophone label both sides feature the 'Sold in UK....' text and have 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd....' rim print. The 'KT' tax code is embossed on the side 2 label. The vinyl is housed within the original front laminated flip back picture sleeve. A wonderful GOLDEN DISCS DEMO label error version of this original 1965 E.P.
The Matrix numbers are:
Side 1. 7TCE 888-1 1 M KT
Side 2. 7TCE 889-1 1 O KT
The vinyl is in VERY GOOD+ condition.
Both labels are in EXCELLENT condition. BUT ‘ZC’ written neatly in pencil on the side one label.
The sleeve is in VERY GOOD+ condition.
