ATTENTION SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTORS!

FROM A MAJOR UK BEATLES EXPERT AND FAN!

THINK YOU'VE GOT ALL THE DEMOS THAT EXIST?

YOU PROBABLY WON'T HAVE THIS ONE!!!!!

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL AND ULTRA RARE 1964 GERMAN WHITE LABEL DEMO PRESSING OF THE 1964 BEATLES GERMAN SUNG SINGLE,NEVER ISSUED AS A UK SINGLE OF THE TWO SONGS:

"KOMM GIB MIR DEONE HAND"

(I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND)+:

 "SIE LIEBT DICH"(SHE LOVES YOU).

RECORDED IN FRANCE IN JANUARY 1964 TO INCREASE POPULARITY WITH THE GERMANS WHERE THE BAND BEGAN TO SHAPE THEMSELVES READY FOR WORLDWIDE DOMINATION!

THIS IS A PIECE OF HISTORY RARELY SEEN IN THIS FORMAT-A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!

NO CATALOGUE NUMBER ON THE WHITE ODEON LABEL-SHOP COPIES WERE GREEN BUT THERE IS A RUBBER STAMPED "21.FEB.1964"ON ONE LABEL DENOTING THE RELEASE DATE!

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL COVER WHICH ALTHOUGH IS RATHER DAMAGED(FULL DETAILS BELOW)IS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE WITH THE MISPRINT,LATER CORRECTED "MICH"INSTEAD OF "DICH"ALTHOUGH THE PREVIOUS OWNER ALTERED THE LETTER IN PEN(SEE PHOTO #1)

THIS SINGLE HAS A NUMBER OF SMALL BUT VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS,A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS,BUT NO LOUD CLICKS,JUMPS OR STICKS AND PLAYS GREAT WITH NO MAJOR DISTORTION!

HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME! GERMAN PRESSINGS ARE ALWAYS GREAT AND WITH PLENTY OF BASS!

THE LABELS HAVE HAD THE TITLES ADDED IN ENGLISH+ A TIMING ON EACH LABEL.

THERE IS A SMALL STICKER REMOVAL STAIN ON EACH LABEL AND ON THE"A"SIDE PART OF THE LABEL WHITE SPACE WAS TORN BEFORE THE ENGLISH TITLE WAS ADDED IN PEN-JUST A LITTLE OF THE GERMAN RIM WORDING REMOVED.

LARGE CENTRE HOLE WITH THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC 3 PRONG CENTRE AS PROVIDED BY THE RECORD COMPANY.

THE ONLY GERMAN ODEON DEMO I HAVE SEEN BEFORE WAS OF CLASSICAL MUSIC AND OF COURSE BEING THE BEATLES,IT IS A MOST EXCITING ITEM THAT MAY HAVE ONLY HAD A FEW HUNDRED COPIES MADE!

BEARING IN MIND IN 1964,GERMAN RADIO STATIONS WERE VERY STRICT ABOUT PLAYING POP MUSIC,MOST PLAYED CLASSICAL OR LIGHT/EASY LISTENING MUSIC AND AS SUCH THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE FEW HUNDRED COPIES MADE IN ADVANCE OF RELEASE WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT,BADLY DAMAGED OR IN THE HANDS OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS WHO WILL NEVER SELL!

THIS ONE HAS BEEN IN MY COLLECTION FOR YEARS AND I WILL BE SAD TO SEE IT GO.

  THIS SINGLE IS STRICTLY GRADED VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH ONLY VISIBLE SURFACE MARKS IN STRONG AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! PLEASE NOTE THE COVER FAULTS!!!>>>

IT IS RIPPED/SPLIT DOWN EACH SIDE.

A SPLIT ACROSS MOST OF THE BOTTOM EDGE.

SIGNS OF SELLOTAPE REMOVAL STAINS FROM A REPAIR DOWN THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

A FEW SPOT STAINS.

THE TIMINGS ADDED IN PEN ON THE BACK.

THE LETTER"M"IN MICH CHANGED TO "D"IN PEN.

SOME TINY EDGE CREASES.

HOWEVER IT IS ALL THERE AND IS STILL QUITE PRESENTABLE BEARING IN MIND IT'S SCARCITY!  

PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS OF BOTH LABELS AND BOTH SIDES OF THE COVER! NOTHING TO HIDE! A UNIQUE ITEM!

 THIS MEGA-RARE 1964 EDITION IS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING BEATLES DEMOS I HAVE EVER FOUND! TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY LIKE THIS ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE!

I HAD A HEART STOPPING MOMENT WHEN I FOUND THIS COPY AS I HAVE BEEN A MAJOR BEATLES COLLECTOR AND EXPERT FOR YEARS AND TO HEAR THE FAB FOUR SING IN GERMAN IS ALWAYS A DELIGHT BUT EVEN MORE SO WHEN YOU CONSIDER THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES A GERMAN RADIO STATION WOULD HAVE PLAYED A BEATLES DISC,SO DON'T LET THIS ONE GET AWAY!

THE PRINT RUN IN 1964 FOR THIS BEATLES DEMO SINGLE WOULD HAVE BEEN TINY-A FEW HUNDRED AT THE VERY MOST!

THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER OF ALL THE 1960s BEATLES DEMO PRESSINGS,ESPECIALLY FROM GERMANY!  

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ULTRA RARE ITEM-THEN THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!.

NATURALLY THERE ARE MANY BEATLES SINGLES AROUND THE WORLD AND MOST COLLECTORS LIKE TO HAVE NICE COPIES TO ADD TO A COLLECTION.
