BEATLES "THE BEATLES HIT'S"

ORIGINAL AND VERY RARE 1964 UK 3RD PRESSING.

THE BEATLES SECOND UK E.P RELEASE FEATURED THEIR FIRST THREE HITS AND ONE B-SIDE TRACK (THANK YOU GIRL).

THE E.P REACHED A HIGH OF NUMBER 17 IN THE U.K

WHEN ORIGINALLY ISSUED THE VERY FIRST COPIES OF THIS E.P FEATURED A LABEL ERROR, THE LABELS SHOULD CARRY THE TEXT "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963" HOWEVER A LIMITED NUMBER OF COPIES WHERE PRESSED WITH LABELS WHICH OMITTED THIS TEXT,THIS COPY IS LISTED AS A FIRST PRESSING.

THIS ERROR WAS RECTIFIED AND ALL FURTHER COPIES FEATURED THIS TEXT, THESE COPIES ARE NOW RECOGNISED AS A SECOND PRESSING.

CURRENTLY UK RECORD COLLECTOR LISTS A 1965 THIRD PRESSING OF THIS E.P AS HAVING THE "GRAMMOPHONE CO" RIM TEXTS AND "SOLD IN UK"

HOWEVER ARE PLEASED TO OFFER FOR SALE A DEFINITE 1964/5 PRESSING OF THIS E.P WHICH FEATURES THE "PARLOPHONE CO" RIM TEXTS AND "SOLD IN UK" TEXT AND RARE KMT TAX CODE.

SINCE EMI SWITCHED FROM "PARLOPHONE" TO GRAMMOPHONE" RIMS IN 1965 THIS COPY WAS OBVIOUSLY PRESSED PRIOR TO THE DOCUMENTED THIRD PRESSING.

GEP 8880

7TCE.750/2N-1N

STAMPERS GRG 10 GHR 11

KT TAX CODE TO CENTRE LABELS BUT KMT STAMPED TO SIDE TWO RUN OFF GROOVE.

THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABESL ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS JUST LIGHT BUT TINY SPINDLE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE. THE LABELS ARE EXTREMELY CLEAN WITH NO MARKS WHATSOEVER AND FEATURE PERFECT LETTERING AND COLOURING.....

THE GLOSSY MIRROR LIKE VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB ,CLOSE EXAMINATION UNDER A STRONG LIGHT REVEALS JUST THE ODD VERY TINY HANDLING MARK AND THE ODD VERY LIGHT NEEDLE MARK BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING SERIOUS . THIS VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.

HOUSED IN ITS RARER "BUPR" PICTURE SLEEVE. THE SLEEVE IS IN GOOD CONDITION. THE FRONT IS STILL GLOSSY BUT IT DOES DISPLAY SOME CREASING AND SOME OBVIOUS YELLOWING. ALL EDGES ARE SQUARE WITH VERY MINIMAL WEAR. THE REAR AGAIN SHOWS SOME QUITE HEAVY YELLOWING/BROWNING AND ALSO A LARGE PAPER SCAR TOWRDS THE TOP. THE THREE FLIPBACKS ARE ALL INTACT AND LIE PERFECTLY FLAT..... IN FAIRNESS THIS WOULD PROBABLY BENEFIT FROM A BETTER QUALITY SLEEVE BUT THIS IS ITS ORIGINAL RARER "BUPR" VERSION.

OVERALL A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE A VERY RARE, UNDOCUMENTED AND SELDOM SEEN ORIGINAL UK 3RD PRESSING......A REALLY GREAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION.
