THE BEATLES HITS
PARLOPHONE GEP 8880
SUPER RARE POST-1966 SOLID CENTRE PRESSING!
INITIALLY RELEASED IN 1963 THIS EP WAS ONLY AVAILABLE AS A PUSH OUT CENTRED SINGLE WITHOUT THE “SOLD IN THE U.K” CREDITS SO THIS EXAMPLE IS A STRANGE RELEASE INDEED! THERE WAS A LATER 1964 PRESSING WITH THE “SOLD IN THE UK” SCRIPT BUT THIS WAS AGAIN ONLY A PUSH OUT CENTRED RELEASE AND NOT SOLID CENTRED!
EMI ONLY BEGAN RELEASING SOLID CENTRE SINGLES SOMETIME IN 1966 BUT BY THIS TIME, ALTHOUGH THEY SHOW THE “SOLD IN THE UK” CENTRE CREDITS THE RIM CREDITS HAD CHANGED TO SHOW “THE GRAMOPHONE CO.LTD” RATHER THAN “THE PARLOPHONE CO.LTD”.
AS CAN BE SEEN, DESPITE BEING A SOLID CENTRE RELEASE THESE LABELS RETAIN THE “PARLOPHONE” CREDITS WITH THE KT TAX CODE SO RATHER STRANGE AND VERY RARE! THIS VERSION WOULD ONLY HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE AS A SPECIAL ORDER AND OF COURSE BY THE MID TO LATE 1960,s BEATLES FANS WOULD HAVE THIS ALREADY IN THEIR RECORD COLLECTIONS SO NOT MANY OF THESE WOULD HAVE BEEN PRODUCED.
TO GET AN IDEA OF HOW RARE THIS IS PLEASE LOOK AT THE ONLY OTHER EXAMPLE CURRENTLY LISTED ON EBAY!
THE CONDITION
CLEAN LABELS WITH SOME SCUFFS/MARKS VISIBLE THE VINYL RETAINS SOME GLOSS WITH SOME MARKS/ SCRATCHES VISIBLE, IT PLAYS THROUGH QUITE WELL ON BOTH SIDES WITH SOME CRACKLE PREDOMINATELY AT THE START OF THE TRACKS AND GRADES AT LEAST GOOD PLUS.
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE SLEEVE HAS SOME WEAR/ TEAR BUT RETAINS NICE COLOUR GRADING AT VERY GOOD.
DON,T LET THIS SUPER RARITY GET AWAY!! NO RESERVE STARTING AT A VERY CHEAP PRICE!!
PLEASE EXAMINE THE DETAILED PHOTO,S AND CHECK OUT MY OTHER RARITIES!!
HAPPY BIDDING!! PLEASE PAY WITHIN 2 DAYS OR EBAY WILL SEND AN UNPAID ALERT!! PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU UNDERSTAND THIS!! THANK YOU !!
