How many of the recordings included on this album have you heard before?
This fascinating 14-track compilation contains rare, alternate,  and unusual versions that differ in some way from the commonly released recordings—a true collection of Beatles rarities.
The following tracks are presented in mono:
- Love Me Do - Help! - Helter Skelter - Don’t Pass Me By - The Inner Light - You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)
Vinyl: The record retains a beautiful glossy appearance, with only a few extremely minor surface marks.
The entire album has been carefully play-tested. Playback is exceptionally clean,  with no noticeable background noise throughout.
Vinyl condition: EX+
Gatefold Cover: The gatefold cover is firm, clean, and structurally sound.
The inside of the gatefold features a striking photograph inspired by the famous Beatles “Butcher Cover.”
There is only very slight age-related and handling wear, with no major damage.
Cover condition: EX
Obi: The original obi is included and remains in very good condition.
Included: - Obi - Lyric insert - “Beatles Fukkatsusai – 25th Anniversary of Debut” booklet - Beatles Cine Club booklet - Clear plastic inner sleeve
Historical Note:
This album includes “Sie Liebt Dich,” the German-language version of “She Loves You.”
The Beatles recorded the song in Paris in January 1964 at the request of EMI’s German record company,  during a period when record companies often believed that local-language versions were necessary for overseas markets.
Unlike the German version of “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” which reused the original backing track, “Sie Liebt Dich” had to be completely re-recorded because the original two-track tape for “She Loves You” was no longer available.
These German-language recordings remain a fascinating and unusual part of Beatles history,  as the group rarely recorded official versions of their songs in other languages.
The entire record has been play-tested on my equipment. There are no skips, repeated loops, or noticeable warping.
The record will be carefully and securely packed to help prevent damage during shipping.
The shipment will include a tracking number, which will be provided after dispatch.
Please note that analog record playback may vary depending on the turntable, cartridge, stylus condition,  and tracking force used.
