This is one of the Rarest UK BEATLES Releases, hence the high Record Collector Catalog price of £150, and now the last print was over 18 months old, should be around £250 by now!!! Released on the 4th of December 1964, this was their 4th UK studio album with George Martin at the helm. It wasn't released in the US at that time, but showed a more maturing of Lennon's song writing, having meet Bob Dylan by them John's songs became more melancholy even a slight depressing. I'm a loser a good example of his change in style. This STEREO ALBUM was only available in small numbers as most UK residents didn't possess HI-FI Stereo equipment, most had Dansette's or older Radiograms. You would have to personally have to order a STEREO ALBUM at you local store and then wait for it to come in. These early UK STEREO LP's ARE SO HAD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!!

AUDIO GRADING:
