🇩🇪 The Beatles – “Sie Liebt Dich” (She Loves You)
“Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand” (I Want To Hold Your Hand)
🔴 Capitol Promo-Only Red Vinyl 12" – 1978 Matrix Mismatch Edition
💎 A rare and curious gem from Capitol’s promo vaults: this translucent red vinyl 12" features German-language Beatles tracks recorded in Paris in January 1964, during a brief session arranged by EMI’s German affiliate. The songs—German versions of “She Loves You” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand”—were cut specifically for the German market but later resurfaced in the U.S. as part of Capitol’s 1978 promotional reissue campaign, aimed at rekindling Beatles nostalgia.
But what makes this copy truly special is a matrix-label-audio anomaly that turns it into a collector’s conversation piece:
🔹 Side 2 Label: Correctly reads ST-100-B for “Sie Liebt Dich”
🔹 Deadwax Etching (Side 2): Mistakenly etched C-100-A—the code for “Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand”
🔹 Actual Audio: Plays “Sie Liebt Dich” as labeled—making this a classic matrix mismatch
🔹 Labeling Quirk: Sides marked “1” and “2” instead of A/B
🔹 Deadwax Stamp:“Mastered by Capitol” with faint, unreadable secondary etchings
🔹 Vinyl Color: Deep translucent red—promo-only issue, never commercially sold
💎 Scarce Promo Pressing: Estimated under 5,000 copies—never sold commercially, distributed to radio only
🔹 Date Stamp: 1978 on label—reflects release date, not recording date
💎 Original shrink wrap intact on all sides except opening edge
The marks you see on the LP are a reflection not a scratch.
🕵️♂️ Whether you're building a reference archive or hunting pressing oddities, this copy delivers both historical intrigue and anomaly appeal. A must-have for matrix detectives, Beatles completists, and fans of promo-only vinyl lore
💎 Collector Value: Promo-only red vinyl pressing from Capitol’s 1978 reissue campaign—estimated under 5,000 copies. Matrix mismatch (C-100-A etched, ST-100-B labeled, “Sie Liebt Dich” audio) adds anomaly intrigue. Comparable clear vinyl copies list at $75–$100, but this red promo with pressing error commands $125–$150 in collector circles.
