Description
Just recently I bought a massive collection of 60's and 70's LPs...some are in surprisingly immaculate condition, and some are not, but the original owner (a well-respected Australian vinyl hoarder) was a fastidious collector of the styles he loved - 60's punk/garage, British invasion well-knowns [Beatles/Hollies/Dave Clark 5/Gerry & The Pacemakers/Zombies/Troggs/etc..], 70's West Coast sounds, pop-psych and he'd obviously forraged far and wide since there's a flurry of unique South American, New Zealand,Taiwanese, South African, Japanese releases amongst them all.
Here then, is one of the LPs from his collection:
ARTIST: The BEATLES -
TITLE: "AUSTRALIAN 10TH ANNIVERSARY SOUVENIR PRESENTATION" .
FORMAT: …vinyl double-LP…
LABEL: PARLOPHONE [distributed by EMI (Australia) Limited] .
CATALOGUE #: PCSS-7533/4 .
DATE OF RELEASE: Feb. 1973 .
PRESSED IN: AUSTRALIA
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?: Yes, it is...textured gatefold cover...with unique purple and silver labels...Read on for some quality basic info:
"In February 1973, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the first Beatles record released in Australia (Please Please Me/Ask Me Why), EMI (Australia) repackaged the two previously issued Greatest Hits volumes into a double LP set with a new gatefold sleeve and distinctive purple labels. The LP was promoted nationally by member stations of the Major Radio Network of Australia, with the front cover featuring a gold sticker on the top left displaying the call sign of the promoting station. The participating radio stations were 2KO, 2UE (this version!), 3DB, 4BK, 5AD, 6PR, 7EX and 7HT.
While there was no new content, or new mixes of old content, the labels eschewed the orange hue that characterised contemporary Beatles releases in favour of a more subdued lilac/purple colour; not a particularly earth-shattering variation perhaps, but one that undeniably adds to the unique character of the Australian Beatles labelography.
The set was to be short-lived, however, for a few months later EMI UK announced the impending release of The Beatles 1962-66 and The Beatles 1967-70, effectively scuttling sales of the commemorative set, which was quietly deleted before mid-1973."
In actual fact, this album was only ever available for about ten weeks.
