Description
MEGA-RARE PRESSING WITHOUT THE "NON-SLIP" NOTCHES
FOR YEARS THIS BEATLES "DOUBLE A-SIDE" CLASSIC WAS PREVIOUSLY UNDOCUMENTED AND ORIGINALLY BELIEVED NOT TO HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN THE ORANGE & YELLOW SWIRL 1968 "SUBSIDIARY" CATALOG. ONLY RECENTLY HAS IT BEEN DOCUMENTED IN THE PERRY COX 2007 PRICE GUIDE 6TH EDITION, AND IS ESTIMATED THAT LESS THAN FIVE HAVE NOW SURFACED.
THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE HAS AN ADDITIONAL FACTOR OF RARITY. THE CAPITOL "SUBSIDIARY" SINGLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH A RING OF 360 NOTCHES AROUND THE LABEL. THE PURPOSE OF THE "NON-SLIP" NOTCHES WAS TO HAVE THE RECORD INTERLOCK TO OTHER RECORDS WHEN STACKED. THIS RECORD BEING OFFERED HERE HAD LEFT THE FACTORY WITHOUT THE "NON-SLIP" NOTCHES - BUT HAS THE STANDARD, SMOOTH SURFACE AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE LABELS. TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, THIS IS THE FIRST TO HAVE EVER SURFACED FOR THIS TITLE.
FURTHERMORE, THESE WEST COAST LABELS ARE QUITE UNIQUE FOR THE "MICRO" FONTS USED HERE DIFFER ENTIRELY FROM THOSE USED FOR THE ORIGINAL STANDARD 1967 ISSUE, AND ALSO DIFFER FROM THE LABEL COPY USED FOR THE OTHER "SUBSIDIARY" RELEASES.
THE RECORD AND LABELS ARE IN GLORIOUS MINT CONDITION.
The record is valued at $3,275.00
