The Beatles Historic Sessions (UK Import AFELD 1018)
This one includes a section of the original shrink wrap complete with stickers including a round, red "2 RECORD SET", a union jack "British Import" and, on the back, a round red "ATTENTION COLLECTORS|UNRELEASED TRACKS", indicating that the record was originally sold outside of the UK.
This 1981 UK set marks the first time all 30 songs from the Star Club tapes were gathered into one package.
Also, this set was the first UK appearance of 4 tracks not previously issued in Britain.
Some errors involved in this set: -Stuart Sutcliffe, listed on the front cover, is not on these recordings (he had died months before) -B5 "Can't Help It/Blue Angel is really "Reminiscing" -D5 "Talkin' 'bout You" (Ray Charles song) is really the Chuck Berry song "I'm Talking About You" -Recording date is stated as April 1962 when it is actually December 62.
Issued as a white gatefold sleeve, with textured/raised lettering "BEATLES" on the front and has similar liner notes as the 1977 Lingasong release.
