Notes
This is an original 1969 pressing, on the black PARLOPHONE label (Parlophone PCS 7070). Made from UK plates (YEX 715-1 and YEX 716-1), this is a very early pressing made in The Netherlands. But whereas this LP is always found with the customary Apple labels, this particular copy is on BLACK PARLOPHONE labels, which makes this an extraordinarily rare copy. Not unlike the Rubber Soul LP on the black Odeon label, which was also released in this country (less than 10 copies known to exist), this is an edition that never ever crops up, it's that rare. Whether it was made for export purposes (which is a likely scenario) is not 100% known, but fact is that copies of this album are incredibly rare and never show up. In all my 40 years of collecting this is the first time I have a spare copy of this, and I know of 4 other copies, no more!
As with most 1960s albums issued in Holland, this Beatles LP comes in a UK produced cover (flipback). This is the rarer version with the red lines on the rear and a Patent No. (943,895) on the back, as well as the release numbers for both the Stereo (PCS 7070) as the Mono (PMC 7070) editions.Stereo version of the first pressing that includes black inner sleeve, standard Apple labels with ‘Sold in U.K.’ statement, and red lines above and below the sleeve notes on the back of sleeve.
Titles on back of sleeve: Side A: The Beatles Side B: Original film score composed & orchestrated by George Martin
