EMI Malaysia pressing of "The Beatles", without the track "Happiness is a Warm Gun". The track was banned & removed from this & a Parlophone pressing.
EMI (SEA)'s response was to recut affected Beatles albums locally, by either removing or replacing the banned tracks with more acceptable tracks. This resulted in the pressing plant running two sets of masters: uncensored UK masters for titles exported to Malaysia and Hong Kong (these retained the PCS catalogue numbers), and censored masters for titles issued in Singapore. These were catalogued under the domestic S-LPEA series.

LP set is from a private collection. It will be securely packaged.  LP cover will come in a protective plastic sleeve.
