BEATLES "MILLION SELLERS"
VERY RARE UK DECCA CONTRACT PRESSING
ORIGINAL 1966 UK 1ST PRESSING E.P.
RELEASED DECEMBER 6TH 1965, THIS THE BEATLES TENTH UK E.P RELEASE WAS OBVIOUSLY INTENDED TO APPEAL TO THE CHRISTMAS MARKET. THE E.P CONTAINED FOUR OF THEIR FIVE (UP TO THAT TIME) BRITISH MILLION SELLING SINGLES, "A HARD DAYS NIGHT" BEING THE SINGLE OMITTED.
FOURTEEN DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THIS E.P THE BEATLES ATTAINED THEIR SIXTH MILLION SELLING UK SINGLE FOR "DAY TRIPPER" WHICH WAS RELEASED JUST THREE DAYS BEFORE THIS E.P, ALSO ON THE SAME DAY AS "DAY TRIPPER" WAS RELEASED THE BEATLES SIXTH UK ALBUM "RUBBER SOUL" WAS ALSO ISSUED.
WITH ALL THAT IN MIND IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT EMI HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTRACT OUT SOME PRESSINGS OF "MILLION SELLERS" TO DECCA TO HELP TO EASE THE DEMAND FOR ALL THREE OF THESE RELEASES.
ALSO WHEN VERY FIRST ISSUED THIS E.P CARRIED THE INCORRECT "GOLDEN DISCS" TITLE LABEL CREDIT, THIS ERROR WAS RECTIFIED AT A LATER DATE.
OFFERED FOR SALE IN FABULOUS CONDITION IS AN ORIGINAL AND VERY RARE UK DECCA CONTRACT PRESSING OF "MILLION SELLERS" WHCH ALSO FEATURES THE INCORRECT "GOLDEN DISCS" LABEL ERROR.
