The general clear out continues.
Rare and difficult to find original Australian pressing of this Beatles album album.
The Matrix No.s are YAPPAX1009 & YAPPAX1010 as shown.
Generally reasonable condition throughout - especially seeing as it is over 50 years old. There are a couple of clicks and a couple of single jumps, but it would probably benefit from a machine clean.
Anyone who knows this album and the laminated cover knows that generally they get a little dirty on the reverse. This one though has been reasonably well looked after.
This is the original 1967 issue of the Stereo Version. The Stereo Volume 2 was released prior to Stereo Volume 1. Both Greatest Hits volumes were conceived in early 1966, with EMI (Australia) requesting stereo tapes from EMI UK for the tracks not already in its vaults. This means that despite not being released locally in stereo until February 1967, Volume 2 contains the 1965 stereo mixes of Day Tripper and We Can Work It Out rather than the new mixes that were created by EMI UK in November 1966 for A Collection Of Beatles Oldies. This also explains why the two volumes contain no post-1965 “greatest hits”. Volume 2’s claim to fame was being the only album worldwide, until the 1980 Beatles Box release, to contain the stereo mix of She’s A Woman. Thanks from elsewhere for this info.
Anyone who has bought items from me knows I try and be as truthful and open as possible. See reviews.
If you're a collector and interested in this album then buy this one - its really not bad!
*I have another albums for sale on here - why not buy more than one and save on postage which I will combine.
Thanks for looking and best of luck.
