SO RARE TO FIND - UNPLAYED LOOKING VINYL WITH MINT SLEEVE AND EMITEX INNER UK 1964 MONO EXAMPLE

Notes First pressing. August 6, 1965. Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text. Capitol print. Tracing-paper-lined “Use Emitex” die-cut inner sleeve. With or without KT tax code on the label.

Variation A. The original 1st labels used a Sans-Serif font and the * credit indicator for “I Need You” was placed to the right of the song title with a space between: I Need You *.

Variant B (this one): Other of the original labels used a thick font and the same * credit indicator for “I Need You” was placed to the right of the song title with a space between: I Need You *. In addition, the laqueur numbers (XEX.549 & XEX.550) shifted relative to date on the both sides.

Variation C. Side 1 is practically the same as in variation 1A but the titles of “Girl” on track 5 and 6 are now aligned directly above each other. Side 2 has a few more differences in the tracklist layout. Most noticeably, the second line now begins with BIEM instead of NCB; and “Yesterday” now no longer begins on its own line. The layout in general is neater with the space being used a little more efficiently.

Only the A Side of this album is from the film soundtrack. Barcode and Other Identifiers Matrix / Runout (Side 1, stamped): XEX 549-2 Matrix / Runout (Side 2, stamped): XEX 550-2 Matrix / Runout (Label side A): XEX.549 Matrix / Runout (Label side A): XEX.550
