The Beatles - O.P.D. (Officially Pronounced Dead) - no # original rare fab-4 mono studio Get Back sessions out-takes psychedelic rock lp. Record is Near Mint. Comes in plain white cover sith O.P.D. rubber stamped and some pen writing.

This LP is particularly interesting because it represents the only full-length issue of an undocumented version of the unreleased GET BACK LP, containing a few more seconds after the song Get Back and various small edits here and there and compiled in early May '69. It includes a longer version of Dig It compared with other releases of the time and the complete, unedited version of For You Blue. The unreleased GET BACK LP was known since the mid-seventies (after the Wizardo and Kornyphone records); it was mixed at EMI on May 28th, 1969 (Glyn Johns). The differences of the mix which originated O.P.D. are the following: TRACK 7, Get Back - the O.P.D. mix has the original unedited version with a longer coda unavailable elsewhere. TRACK 12, Dig It - the O.P.D. mix is over 5 minutes long, on the promo GET BACK it clocks at 4:20. This undocumented early mix of the GET BACK album was first aired on September 20, 1969 by WKBW in Buffalo (from a tape they apparently had obtained from a Toronto radio station). Nice!
