While the Beatles practically did not have US-made Extended Play (EP) records (only three were ever made, to little publicity, and even less marketing effort), they were all the rage in the Britain and the rest of the Europe, where Fab Four had many different – and visually VERY attractive – EP’s, all with picture sleeves which varied in design from country to country. Original British and French EP’s are highly sought-after by collectors and Beatle fans alike.

(c)           PLEASE NOTE:  This - of course - is an ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital, newly mastered recording!!!

·       SLEEVE (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED UK PICTURE SLEEVE)

THE SLEEVE IS NEAR MINT

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the sleeve:

-        Picture sleeve has JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.  (BARELY VISIBLE)

-        A few microscopic, superficial wrinkles noted along the opening  (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE SLEEVE
