MORE INFORMATION I OBTAINED FROM A BEATLES EXPERT
This odd 12″ single appeared on the market in 1978, and was offered to collectors as a “promo-only” item, and nearly all copies were pressed on colored vinyl (most were either red or clear, though we’ve seen one or two with an orange/clear mix, a couple of pink ones, and one, and only one, that was black.)
The provenance of this item is unusual; the labels appear to be legitimate Capitol labels but the label is an odd black variation that mentions Paul McCartney’s company MPL Communications at the bottom, and this version of the Capitol label was only used for McCartney titles and never for Beatles records.
The labels say “Demonstration – Not for Sale,” and the record was widely represented by sellers at the time of release as a legitimate promotional item.
Still, it’s an interesting Beatles artifact, and the only time these two German-language songs (German versions of “She Loves You” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand” have appeared together on a single.
