THE BEATLES “HELP“ ORIGINAL 1965 STEREO RARE GERMAN PRESSING "WHITE" ODEON LABEL SMO84008 SHZE 162-A-1 12" LP ALBUM
Electrola, EMI's West German counterpart, released its first Beatles record in March 1963. For the most part the singles were the same as the UK releases, although several unique German 45s did emerge.
Albums were less standardised, with a number of compilations released especially for the German market. Some of these were by the weekly TV and radio magazine Hörzu.
In communist East Germany (the former GDR) far fewer Beatles songs were officially released by the government-owned Amiga label; just three albums of note were issued, along with just two singles.
It is well known that The Beatles did their first professional recordings in Hamburg, and the Tony Sheridan songs were reissued a number of times in Germany. Odeon was also responsible for The Beatles' only German-language recordings, versions of She Loves You (Sie Liebt Dich) and I Want To Hold Your Hand (Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand).
The Odeon white label (stereo) LP's appear in two slightly different styles. The first of these styles, shown above, features the following print around the rim of the label:
ALLE RECHTE DES PLATTENHERSTELLERS UND EIGENTUEMERS DES AUFGENNOMMENEN
The Beatles. Help. Rare German Export LP on Odeon Label.
This is a rare copy (stereo) of the Help LP on the Odeon label. The record was pressed in Germany for (I believe) export. Catalogue reference is SMO 84008 (SHZE 162-A-1).
The label is white with a gold ring and features the Odeon cathedral logo in red. The label writing is also in red.
The tracks are:
Side 1
Help
The night before
You've got to hide your love away
I need you
Another girl
You're going to lose that girl
Ticket to ride
Side 2
Act naturally
It's only love
You like me too much
Tell me what you see
I've just seen a face
Yesterday
Dizzy miss Lizzy
Vinyl - Excellent
Cover - Very Good
