THIS COPY JUST HAS TO BE HARDER TO FIND THAN THE BLACK AND GOLD LABEL BECAUSE THEY ONLY TURN UP PERHAPS ONE COPY EVERY YEAR OR TWO, WHERAS THE GOLD AND BLACK LABEL APPEARS FAR MORE OFTEN.
SO WHY SHOULD THIS BE?
WELL FOR THOSE THAT DONT KNOW, THE GOLD AND BLACK LABEL FIRST APPEARED FOR THE ONE AND ONLY TIME ON THE BEATLES DEBUT ALBUM. THERE WERE TWO VERSIONS OF IT, KNOWN AS THE FIRST PRESS AND THE SECOND PRESS, BITH ARE EQUALLY AS RARE AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE FIRST PRESS HAD SONGS INCORRECTLY CREDITED TO DICK JAMES, WHERAS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NORTHERN SONGS.
PARLOPHONE SHORTLY AFTER THE ORIGINAL RELEASE DECIDED TO CHANGE THE LABELS TO THE MORE COMMON YELLOW AND BLACK AND THUS APPEARED A VERY SHORT LIVED 3RD PRESS (1ST YELLOW AND BLACK) THIS WAS ALSO QUICKLY CHANGED BECAUSE THE 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED' TEXT AT 9 0'CLOCK ON THE LABEL WAS OMITTED IN ERROR.
THE 4TH PRESS IS THE ONE THAT SITS IN MOST PEROPLES COLLECTIONS.
ANYWAY BACK TO THE SHORT LIVED 3RD PRESS. A VERY LIMITED RUN OF THIS LABEL APPEARED WITH AN EXTRA 33 1/3 ON IT. THE PARLOPHONE YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ALL HAVE A LARGE 33 1/3 ABOVE THE YELLOW 'PARLOPHONE' TEXT, BUT THIS 1ST BATCH CAME OUT WITH THE GOLD AND BLACK LABEL'S 33 1/3 (A VERY SMALL ONE) NEXT TO THE CATALOGUE NUMBER AT 9 O'CLOCK. THERE WAS NO NEED FOR TWO NUMBERS AND SO THIS WAS IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO A COPY THAT JUST HAD THE LARGE NUMBERS.
IT IS RECOGNISED THAT THE COPY WITH BOTH 33 1/3RDS WAS ISSUED IN SUCH SMALL NUMBERS AND IN PARTICULAR THE STEREO COPY. THERE CANNOT HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A HANDFUL IN EXISTANCE
