You are bidding on a rare Canadian issue of "Meet The Beatles" that contains a unique mix of "Don't Bother Me" that has an extra "don't" in the chorus toward the end of the song:

"When she comes home, until that day DON'T don't come around, leave me alone"

Here is more information from the book: The Beatles Music History - The In-Depth Story Behind the Songs of the Beatles 

... a rare stereo mix of “Don’t Bother Me” has surfaced on Canadian pressings of  Meet The Beatles from 1976.  This purple label Capitol album features an added word from George during the final verse:  “…when she’s come home, until that day…DON’T…don’t come around…”  Speculation has it that either a second stereo mix of the song was made back on October 29th, 1963 that didn’t splice out this vocal flub from George, or that this otherwise identical stereo mix was touched up before it went to press upon its original release.  Canada had never received a stereo mix of this song prior to this time, so an un-doctored stereo mix may have been sent to them from EMI especially for this release.  In any case, this anomaly is quite interesting for Beatles enthusiasts. 

This unique mix is not available on any other issue worldwide. In Canada only copies of this release with the specific b-side matrix of ST-2047B have the unique mix. Other Canadian purple label issues of this LP (the majority) with a different B-side do not contain the rare mix. The full matrix for this LP is Side 1: ST-1-2047 J22 & Side 2: ST-2047B  TLC-T

This pressing plays with full dynamic stereo with no added echo and therefore true to how George Martin and the Beatles intended it to sound.
