BEATLES "TWIST AND SHOUT"

RARE LABEL MISPRESS WITH DIFFERENT A & B TYPE FACE LABELS

ORIGINAL 1963 UK 1ST PRESSING.

RELEASED JULY 12TH 1963 "TWIST AND SHOUT" WAS THE BEATLES FIRST EVER UK E.P RELEASE AND COMPRISED OF FOUR TRACKS FROM THE "PLEASE PLEASE ME" ALBUM.

OFFERED FOR SALE IS A RARE LABEL ERROR 1ST PRESSING WHICH CARRIES A DIFFERENT TYPE FACE TO THE A&B SIDE LABELS .

WHEN FIRST ISSUED A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF THESE E.P'S WHERE ISSUED WITH A LABEL ERROR. SIDE TWO CARRIED THE INCORRECT TRACK LISTING "DO YOU WANT A KNOW A SECRET" THIS OF COURSE SHOULD READ "DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET", THE ERROR WAS SPOTTED AND RECTIFIED BUT NOT BEFORE SOME COPIES HAD ALREADY BEEN DISTRIBUTED.

THIS EXAMPLE NOT ONLY FEATURES THE ORIGINAL LABEL ERROR BUT ALSO FEATURES A DIFFERENT TYPE FACE (PRINT) TO BOTH LABELS. FIRSTLY THE SIZE OF THE PRINT ON SIDE TWO IS MUCH LARGER THAN SIDE ONE, SEE HOW THE "SOLD IN UK" ON SIDE ONE EXTENDS BEYOND THE CENTRE LABEL AND THE "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED" TEXT IS ALSO BIGGER ON SIDE ONE, SECONDLY THE ACTUAL FONT ON EITHER SIDE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND LASTLY "THE BEATLES" CREDIT TO SIDE TWO LABELS HAS ACTUALLY BEEN PRINTED AS "T/H/E B/E/A/T/L/E/S"...VERY UNUSUAL!
