Beatles Hello Goodbye UK Parlophone R 5655 Decca Contract Pressing Near Mint

Very rare Beatles UK  7" Parlophone Records single of Hello Goodbye/I Am The Walrus in near mint condition. When EMI could not keep up with the demand for Beatles records, they contracted out to other record company pressing plants to supply production for that demand. These singles are rarer than EMI in-house pressed Beatles discs and are very collectible.
