Description
UP FOR AUCTION IS THE VERY RARE BEATLES CAPITOL CANADA 45 “LOVE ME DO/PS I LOVE YOU” - CANADA’S FIRST TRUE BEATLES RECORD!
* RELEASED ON FEBRUARY 18, 1963! THIS IS THE VERY FIRST PRESSING OF THIS RECORD (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH NUMEROUS REPRESSINGS, BEGINNING IN 1964)!
* ONLY 1000 OF THESE RECORDS WERE PRESSED. 200 WERE SENT TO RADIO STATIONS AND OTHER MEDIA. ONLY 88 - THAT’S 88 - WERE SOLD! UNSOLD RECORDS WERE USUALLY RETURNED TO THE DISTRIBUTOR AND THE VINYL WAS RECYCLED!
* THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST BEATLES RECORDS IN THE WORLD - AND, ALONG WITH VJ 498 (RELEASED APPROXIMATELY THE SAME TIME), THE FIRST TRUE BEATLES RECORD IN THE AMERICAS - INDEED, ONE OF THE VERY FIRST BEATLES RECORDS TO BE RELEASED OUTSIDE THE UK!
* THIS VERSION HAS RINGO ON DRUMS!
* IN ORDER TO CONFIRM THAT THIS IS A TRUE FIRST PRESSING, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF IDENTIFIERS THAT DIFFERENTIATE THIS RECORD FROM ALL OTHER REPRESSINGS:
> No suffix number after the master number on either side in the trail-off area
> The “R” in RECORDS under the Capitol logo on the left side on both labels trails into the yellow swirl
> The orange swirl on the right side on both labels just touches the bottom of the “6” and continues to the bottom of the “1”
> The labels are a bit glossier compared with later pressings
VINYL: VG+
LABELS: VG+ (light wear and small marks)
SLEEVE: VG+ (light aging with no splits)
THIS ITEM WILL COME WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY FROM BEATLES EXPERT PERRY COX!
