The Beatles - 'The Beatles Million Sellers' E.P. GEP 8946

The Beatles 1965 1st UK pressing FACTORY SAMPLE DEMO of 7" 'The Beatles Million Sellers' E.P. Released on the 6th December 1965, this version is the rare early 'GOLDEN DISCS' mis-pressing complete with early 1A/1A STAMPERS.

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 1964 E.P.

The Matrix numbers are:

Side 1. 7TCE 888-1 1 A KT

Side 2. 7TCE 889-1 1 A KT

The vinyl is in VERY GOOD+ condition on side one and VERY GOOD condition on side two.

Both labels are in EXCELLENT+ condition.

The sleeve is in VERY GOOD condition. This would grade much higher as EXCELLENT condition but it has a water stain to the back opening edge.

UK Recorded postage is: £2.25. EU Recorded Postage is: £7.55. Rest of the world recorded postage is: £11.55. Combined postage is available.

VINYL VISUALLY GRADED BASED ON UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADES WITH A + OR -.
