  ORIGINAL 55 year old circa 1966 British issued yellow/black PARLOPHONE label in colorful, stylized laminated cover complete with the old UK '60s style "flip-back seams.

  INCLUDES the original to the pressing, printed UK Parlophone inner sleeve
  

  NEVER ISSUED IN THE USA. Complied by Beatles manager Brian Epstein in time for Christmas 1966 -- oldies by goodies represented 15 nuggets of Beatle gold, one after another direct from the original master plates - you'll never hear such sharp sound-images in any other form other than the Uk Parlophone pressing...
  
  A Collection of Beatles Oldies (but Goldies!) was a very real and important 1966 official UK album by The Beatles. It was also released in several other countries (especially in Europe) and it remained in print, as part of the Beatles catalog until the CD age.
  The Beatles had rush-recorded an album for the Christmas market in 1964 (Beatles For Sale) and 1965 (Rubber Soul), but they were busy doing other things in the autumn of 1966 and weren't going to obey EMI's demand this time around. So EMI had to think of something else. And what they came up with, was the first UK compilation album of the Beatles hits, together with what one today might have called a bonus track, "Bad Boy", which had yet to be released in the UK.
  
  The album also compiled six tracks that had previously only been out as singles in the UK, now finally they were available on an album. The album was released in both mono and stereo, and since all the singles had been in mono, new stereo mixes had to be made. The songs in question: She Loves You, We Can Work It Out, Day Tripper, I Want To Hold Your Hand.

  The stereo mixes were made by producer George Martin and involved the Beatles new engineer, the young Geoff Emerick, who had taken over from Norman Smith as the Beatles' engineer, starting with "Revolver", as well as balance engineer Peter Brown.
  Work commenced on October 31st, 1966. Martin had booked the control room of studio One in Abbey Road for three hours, and was hoping to mix three songs within that space of time, "Paperback Writer", "She Loves You" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand". When he found that "Paperback Writer" took two hours alone to mix, he called it a day. They reconvened on November 7th, and Martin again underestimated the workload, hoping to remix three songs again, the two leftovers from the previous session, "She Loves You" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand", and in addition: "From Me To You". Only "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was finished by the end of the session. The next day, they tried again to remix "She Loves You". Unfortunately, the original twin track tape had gone missing (and remains lost to this day), so all they had to work with was the one track single master. Emerick made two attempts, and the result was a song with "mock stereo", created by making the left channel all bassy and the right channel all trebely. On November 10th, they mistakenly created a stereo mix for "This Boy", because they had it mixed up with "Bad Boy" and finally "Day Tripper" and "We Can Work It Out" was mixed. The stereo mix for "From Me To You" was never done, and the song appears on the stereo album as on the original two track tape, with instruments on the left and vocals on the right. The harmonica edit piece on the intro was overlooked, and can only be found on the mono single.
