Description
A rare opportunity to purchase an EMI Parlophone Records Factory Sample demo copy LP of:
The Beatles
”A Collection of Beatles Oldies”
Originally released in December 1966, this was the first compilation LP featuring the Beatles hits - of which, by this time, there were many.
The journey in which the Beatles had already taken in their recording career, before spending more time in the studio, could be acutely heard here and set up the Fab Four for some fantastic and dynamic studio releases throughout 1967.
This version of the LP is a later reissue from between 1971 and 1973 which is presented in excellent condition.
