The Beatles' Australian 10th Anniversary
1963-1973 - Greatest Hits Volume 1 And 2 Original 1973 Western Australian issue this unusual Australia only release.
In February of 1973, Ten years after their first album, and Three years after their last album, a group of affiliated
radio stations across Australia, sponsored the release of an LP that
packaged together the Two previously released compilations, Greatest Hits
Volume 1 & Volume 2 as, "The Beatles Greatest Hits
Volumes One And Two (The Beatles' Australian 10th Anniversary
1963-1973)"
The vinyl was housed in a custom gatefold sleeve, to which
was attached a gold sticker bearing the name of the radio station which
was promoting the album in a particular Australian State or Territory. - This one is from Perth, Western Australia, AM radio station 6PR
While there was no new content, or new mixes of old content, on the
album, the labels discarded the orange hue that characterised
contemporary Australian Beatles releases, in favour of a more subdued lilac / purple
colour.
Not a particularly earth-shattering variation perhaps but one
which undeniably adds to the unique character of the Australian Beatles
labelography.
The album was only available for only two months.
The radio stations involved were:
Sydney - 2UE
Newcastle - 2KO
Melbourne - 3DB
Brisbane - 4BK
Adelaide - 5AD
Perth - 6PR (this one)
Hobart - 7HT
Launceston - 7EX

of edges, spine splits, discolouration,
etc.

experience at all by the end of it (41).

defaced.
