Description

Special Edition

Beatles error compilation ironically entitled "Rarities" given that it probably exists as one of the true rare factory made Lp's by The Beatles, seldom seen, most have only read about it, this was issued in 1978 by Capitol Records, #SPRO 8969, containing 17 tracks.  This is perhaps THE rarest true issue Beatles Lp ever released. It was Compiled in L.A. by Capitol, this was limited to 3000 copies; because there are two mistakes in the compilation. "She Loves You" + "I Want To Hold Your Hand" were to have been the German versions due to the significance of Hamburg venues in their career.  The English renditions are not part of what makes this a "rarities" idea; but the fact that it contains these "mistakes" in compilation, does make it a much-sought album.  Only 3,000 copies were pressed. It only came with US BC 13 Box sets. All who have one are hoarding it because of the rarity. The other rare at the times aspect is that this album also includes the first American release of the original version of "Across The Universe".  Conservatively speaking, the vinyl appears to be in VG++/ excellent condition; a few very light marks,rubs and nice deep sheen, and I recommend a cleaning before placing needle onto wax. This looks as if seldom played, if at all.  Album is inside its original Capitol blue sleeve (also rare and unique as the songs aren't on it), and is in quite okay shape with slight crinkling, and fine splits at the bottom and sides from the record edge, and light ring wear. This is now housed in a MFSL sleeve outside it's own light sleeve.  Almost nobody has one of these. I believe this is the only one on ebay! It will not last at this price.
