THE BEATLES: "All You Need Is Love"/ "Baby You're A Rich Man". 45 RPM IN MONO.

FIRST UK PRESSING, 12th JULY1967, AN EXTREMELY RARE SINGLE THAT SOMEHOW ESCAPED EMI'S STRINGENT
CONTROL, AS A GLOBALLY LIVE TV BROADCAST, IT WAS NECESSARY TO CREDIT HOW THIS BEATLES RECORDING
HAD BEEN MADE WHILE PERFORMING "All You Need Is Love."   THIS IS ONE OF ONLY A FEW OF THE VERY FIRST UK
PRESSINGS, WITH THE LABELS MISTAKENLY OMITTING THIS CREDIT UNDERNEATH THE A-SIDE'S SONG TITLE;

"Recorded During "Live" World Television Transmission".

NOT ONLY LACKING THAT, UNDOCUMENTED IN TEXT BOOKS SUCH AS 'Record Collector', IT DID NOT END THERE,
EVEN THE B-SIDE, "Baby You're A Rich Man," WHICH WAS RECORDED IN ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS, HAD YET ANOTHER
  MISSING CREDIT THAT WAS PRINTED ON EVERY OTHER ORIGINAL 1967 ISSUE.
  THE A-SIDE IS ONLY KNOWN FOR THE OMITTED CREDIT UNDER THE SONG TITLE, BUT BOTH SIDES DID NOT HAVE
  THIS TEXT THAT WAS  FULLY INTENDED TO BE PRINTED UNDERNEATH 'The Beatles':
Producer: George Martin.
IF YOU LOOK AT MY FOLLOWING PICTURES OF BOTH SIDES AND HAVE A STANDARD CORRECTLY CREDITED RECORD
  TO COMPARE, YOU WILL SEE A STRANGELY 'BARE/VACANT' LOOKING TITLED BOTTOM HALF OF THE LABEL, WITH A
LARGE SPACE BETWEEN, "Made In Great Britain" AND  'The Beatles', THAT SHOULD HAVE, "Producer: George Martin."


PARLOPHONE LABEL: R 5620.
   
  MAITRIX: 7XCE 18425 - 2 / 7XCE 18426 - 2
The maitrix alone does not guarantee the labels will be uncredited, many variations exist as usual and only one thing is certain,
the uncredited labels were fixed onto some of the earliest pressings, but not necessarily the very first made.
 
  EMI STAMPING CODES:  O 1 /GM 2
One of the earliest records made with the '1' digit signifying a first mother and '2' the second mother for the other side.


THE TEXTURED BLACK & SILVER PARLOPHONE LABELS HAVE:
  "Sold In UK" TEXT PRINTED ACROSS THE SOLID CENTRE.
  'Gramophone Co.Ltd.' ON THE RIMS.
THE UK TAX CODE 'KT' EMBOSSED ON THE CENTRE OF THE B-SIDE.
'KT' WAS ALSO STAMPED IN THE 12 O'CLOCK POSITION OF THE RUN-OUT GROOVES.


ORIGINAL 1967 PARLOPHONE SLEEVE,  THE VERY SLEEVE THE SINGLE LEFT EMI'S PRESSING PLANT IN AND NOT
A COUNTERFEIT SLEEVE WITH THE WRONG COLOUR TONE INK JUST ABOUT DRY ON THE 2013 PAPER. ALSO THE
VERTIVAL & HORIZONTAL FLIPBACK EDGES HAVE THE SHAPE EXCLUSIVE TO AUTHENTIC 60's PARLOPHONE SLEEVES.
THEY ARE NOT OFFICIALLY APPROVED 'REPRO'S', BUT VERY CHEAP, PATHETIC COPIES THAT SHOULD NEVER BE
ASSOCIATED THE GREATEST RECORDS OF ALL TIME.
Like the record, this is slightly below my usual, 'as close to Mint as physically possible' condition, no tears or splits, stains
or graffiti.  A record impression and some related creases that accompany an unplayed record, there is more handling and
signs of use with some ageing, but nothing to take seriously for 47 years of age.  Minimal edge rubbing and the same applies
 to the die-cut centres,  the sleeve is still way above the average condition, if only for the lack of any tears or seam splits.
THE PARLOPHONE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THIS RECORD IS RARE ENOUGH FOR ME TO ACCEPT AND OFFER V.G. (Very Good) AS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST ON
EBAY, BUT THIS IS A TRUE EXCELLENT RECORD WITH EXCELLENT LABELS AND SOMETHING I INSIST ON FOR ALL
BEATLES RECORDS, THIS DOES INDEED HAVE STUNNING SOUND QUALITY.
The labels have spindle alignments of several plays, but certainly not excessive and for 1967, once again, way, way below the
average condition.    The vinyl has a deeply glossy sheen without any visually obvious scratches, carefully played enough to
require titling into a light source to see surface handling / playing traces of the feather light, hard to see variety, which first
exactly into the definition of 'Excellent'.  When assessing any record with several plays, I am not affected by the rarity, a  
record is a record and all written above is accurate, as my pictures show very clearly.   To make certain buyers who have
become accustomed to Near Mint/ Mint only, I will not place any plus symbols after the grading, but this record certainly  
deserves them for the visual appearance and the fantastic mono sound.
THE RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.


  I have sold this very rare first pressing of "All You Need Is Love"/"Baby You're A Rich Man" in V.G.+++ and explained at the
time I normally only sell Beatles records in top condition, but exceptions have to be made for really rare records like this one.
Outside of the standard, multiple pressings made for nearly all their singles, EP's and LP's that sold in colossal numbers, there
are few exceptions beyond the actual condition of the records and sleeves.  For the few very rare mis-printed / mis-credited
very first pressing, I was more than delighted to have a Very Good+++ record to offer, what a shame 'Excellent' has now been
distorted out of all recognition on ebay, the record & original 1967 Parlophone are in a very healthy Excellent condition. This
single verifies a theory I have held way back before it was even documented in text books,'Once upon a time' only us fanatical
  Beatles collectors knew about pressing rarities like alternate mixes of "Revolver" etc. but that example was pressed in huge
numbers, unlike "All You Need Is Love," this only had a comparative handful of records released with the incorrectly credited
labels.  I always believed they were pressed and labelled in with the correctly labelled very first issues, which is why I hotly
  dispute the details, or a lack of them by 'Record Collector.'  I will return to that subject shortly, this rare record happens to be
from the very first made, by that I am referring to EMI's stamped and encoded order of pressings and the 'mothers' on both
  sides.  One side has a single letter at 9 o'clock in the run-out grooves, the other two letters 'O1 / GM,' and of course a maitrix
configuration common to most first issues. 'O' = No. 5 record from the first mother and 'GR' = No.14 from the second mother
that alone substantiates my theory because that places this record from the same small earliest possibly made pressing batch,
  from EMI's massive pre-release vinyl production.  In the same way for example, the 'first of the first, 'G 1/ G1' was reproduced
  before the indexing kicked in to raise the numerical pressing order or replace one of the side's mothers with the next in line.
  I have no doubt those uncredited labels were from one box sent by the printer and used at precisely that point of the pressing
  sequence, once fixed to the few records they were never re-printed incorrectly in any of the other boxes of labels.   I should
  explain the process, the labels were fed into a tube of the same circumference and an automated process fixed them onto the
  vinyl in a molten state during the pressing, no glue was required because the paper instantly stuck to the vinyl before it had
  cooled and dried out.  A conveyor belt process to produce literally millions of labelled records, but the very nature of the 60's
   produced variants from the printers and normally EMI's strictly adhered to quality control, would have removed the few with the
  uncredited labels.   That takes care of the factory process, now to once again contradict 'Record Collector', I have given up on
  hoping the 'new' edition of the 'Price Guide' would correct their outrageous mistake, I stopped wasting money on their book three
  editions ago, meanwhile this remains necessary and putting modesty aside, I am one of the few professional or amateur record
  sellers capable of contradicting and criticising such basic mistakes, they cannot sue someone who has truth on his side and can
  prove they have failed to address blatant, misleading mistakes after decades of claiming to 'revise' every edition. A friend told
  me his 2014 edition has such tiny text, it is almost unreadable, just as well!  First though, I must turn my attention to one of
  the most historic events that I witnessed.
  
   For all the greatness achieved by the Beatles, nothing better sums up the point they actually arrived at the very apex of both
   a musical inspiration and also stood before the world singing a song with a universal ethos of 'love and peace.'  That is by far
    the most important connection to a first pressing and that was the Beatles main achievement, after John Lennon found out the
truth about the hypocrisy of Guru's like 'Sexy Sadie' in 1968, he made 'love and peace' his life's mission.
     "All You Need Is Love"/"Baby You're A Rich Man" was one of the most monumental singles ever issued in any decade and as major
  as this record is today, so was the historical context of the release in July 1967.

From being rejected by Decca in early 1962, only four years later, the Beatles were invited by the BBC to write a song and to
perform it live on their ground breaking programme, 'Our World', an historic event indeed, because it was the very first time a
television broadcast signal was being beamed around the whole planet.  The huge advances science had made allowed that through
an orbiting satellite link, which reached the then staggering 26 countries, 350 million people were watching at the same time as
  the Beatles sang their message of universal love and peace, on the 25th June,1967.  The Beatles had more than enough reason to
have been mostly responsible for creating the "Summer Of Love" in 1967, because only a few weeks earlier their "Sgt. Pepper" LP
  had been released, from that magnificent album, John Lennon's wish of, "I'd to turn you on", actually happened on a global scale.
  I still do not think people realise how influential the Beatles were during a magical period, too simplistic to just say it was
  just a result of psychedelia, that same message was there on "Rubber Soul" in 1965, contained within the lyrics to, "The Word."
   "All You Need Is Love" and the absolutely stunning B-side, "Baby You're A Rich Man," were both written in that classic Lennon
and McCartney fashion, how so many of their greatest songs were created, including the mentioned recent "A Day In The Life."
  Individually John and Paul had written different song fragments and when they combined them, they became sheer dynamite, that
  also continued into their two final albums.  The BBC had requested a song with an uncomplicated message that would carry and be
understood in all those different countries, John was responsible for the main segments, the title and chorus, Paul contributed
the rest.  Lennon was a genius at writing a message contained within a slogan and this was the very first of many in this theme,
that would continue into his solo recordings, you could even argue he was using it for propaganda, but for the importance of the
  messages, what better use of propaganda has there ever been?  Wars thrive on the use of propaganda to justify all the horrific
  attrocities, in 1967 the world's most advanced communication was safely placed in the hands of the Beatles, when it mattered the
  most, technology was used to only promote peace.
 
  Originally the song was not even intended to be released as a single, after all, "Baby You're A Rich Man" was recorded for the
  "Yellow Submarine" cartoon film.  After the worldwide acclaim for "All You Need Is Love," it became an obvious song to release
  directly after "Sgt. Pepper", as usual John was not happy with his vocals and he took the track into Abbey Road Studio to work on
   some extra overdubbing with George Martin, but the spontaneity of the live broadcast was left untouched.   Apart from the 1969
   "Get Back," this was the only other live Beatles track released as an A-side of a single, it was issued in the UK one week before
  America, on the 7th July, to become an immediate No.1 in both countries and around the world.

In England in among the first few labels printed, some had omitted two credits, the least known was one for George Martin as the
producer and one for the actual BBC programme, "Recorded During "Live" World Television Transmission".  Talking about incorrect
placement of credits, I still can't believe 'Record Collector Price Guide' complicated such a straight forward entry for a huge
  selling Beatles single !

They totally failed to even list "All You Need Is Love" under the '1967' singles section and so the only place it can be found is
either under "Misprints and Mispressings" and the one that is nothing less than ludicrous, "Known Second Pressings."   So few
  were made without, "Recorded During "Live...." they have quite rightly placed a hefty valuation onto these uncredited labels,
  yet surely the compiler must have noticed..... it was a million+ selling No.1 single and spent 13 consecutive weeks in the UK's
  charts.  Personally I bought this single on the very day it arrived in my local record shop and my original did have the credits,
  just like those other million people did and only a handful bought copies that omitted the credits.  Logic alone says for such a
  massive selling single, if the rarity of the few uncredited copies warrants the high valuation then it cannot possibly be classed
  or listed as being the first pressing only, or it would not be valued as being so rare!  Naming every other copy bought on the day
  EMI distributed the records, 'second pressings,' by definition alone, they simply had to be the first pressings with the correct
labels.  'Second Pressings' equates to re-issues in Chart books, but then they are compiled factually and do not rely one one
man's opinion, I knew that one man and like most so called 'Beatles experts', he was not even a collector himself!   It would be
some sort of joke if we were not discussing "All You Need Is Love," the most important, greatest Beatles' record ever recorded,
pressed and released.
 
  Then what am I thinking, that those my age sat glued to our televisions watching the most amazing event witnessed, connected to
a social and a musical worldwide happening, then we rushed out to buy the single, only to find 46 years later, according to the
 'Record Collector',  we had bought a "Known Second Pressing."  This is supposedly a book and a magazine with an authority over
vinyl, their compiler totally failed to grasp the manufacturing process for the biggest artists of all time, as well as the most
  collectible band on this planet, fourty three years after they broke up.  The sheer volume of the pre-release pressings EMI made
would have filled warehouses, we are talking about needing a million copies for initial distribution in June 1967 alone , then
  pressings made for the next three months and one week.  So how can they possibly be classed as second pressings when every
single one of them, regardless of just a few with incorrect label credits, was a first pressing/first issue/original?  What can be
be done is to look at the actual order of that massive volume of records and by using EMI's meticulous indexing system with the
pertinent label text of 1967, then find what can be classed as the earliest in the pressing sequence.  Here is a record to make a
nonsense of not only the stupidity of thinking you could manufacture that many records without needing to create more than one
'mother' to press them all from.  Then that same man and through him, a book invented a fairy tale about "Rubber Soul" having a
'loud cut' without a shred of evidence to substantiate such an outrageous act of deception.   Meanwhile the culprit had stockpiled
  copies of '-1 / -1' pressing before the Price Guide with his assertion was was first published, it was a con job then and today,
people are still being ripped off two decades later.
 
This first issue was pressed from 1st & 2nd mothers, first on both sides was not an exclusive feature and it must be highlighted.
If most of the the previous copies I sold were the very first pressing, perhaps one of those vinyl 'experts' can explain how come
  most records were identically sourced from the very first 'mother' on one side, yet often the B-sides are from the second. Had it
  been a demo, which by the low numbers made it can be equated with one, I would expect to find only a first mother used, this is
  exceptionally low but other copies were higher.   All part of the very first pressings, in the same way three to four variations
exist of the black and gold label "Please Please Me" LP's.  Now look how they have been set out in Record Collector, as first and
second pressings, as I said, it is like a bad joke because labels do not get pressed, only vinyl does!  Regardless of printing the
  details on labels, the vinyl remains consistently part of first pressings.  Naturally for mistaken credits, be it Led Zeppelin or
  Mozart records, it happened during the beginning stages of the manufacturing process, either a few were missed or deemed to be
  unnecessary to be destroyed over printing errors.  As long as the vast majority were correct nothing drastic was required, when
  records pressed from exactly the same first and second 'mothers,' were both without and with a "Recorded During "Live...." credit
  text, they cannot possibly be classed as 'second pressings', when they can be traced to the actual order via the stamping codes!
The previously sold uncredited records blow a massive hole in that absurd Record Collector entry because EMI's stamping codes on
  most of the earliest of those millions made pre-release are low, but certainly not always the 'first of the first' on both sides.
  You will always get the truth in my descriptions, other sellers would be saying this record is almost like a Demo and the codes
  mean every record with omitted credits can only be the first made.  Experience is essential and in reality this record is indeed
  closer to Beatles Demo's than the fakes I see being sold for small fortunes on almost a weekly basis, where is Record Collector's
information about stamping codes to protect collector's from being conned?
  

It's unusual for me to discuss several plays for a Beatles single, but I was playing the that condition in the 60's and it never stopped
at 'several' for the majority!   At record fairs I sold grading's from Very Good to Mint because not everyone wanted top condition
and obviously the cheaper options were necessary, all were pre-played and carefully selected for the sound being fully enjoyable.
This record is in a genuine Excellent condition and that is reflected in the outstanding quality..... which I will next describe.


Virtually no surface sound in the run-in grooves, only very minor static only before fantastic audio clarity is projected with all
  the mono power of the first pressings, the French anthem of "La Marseillaise" was played on brass for the intro.  Such perfect
clarity again confirms all I keep insisting in my descriptions, Excellent grading's should have perfect sound! All Beatles EMI UK
records started life with this same highest possible standards of mastering pressing, 60's records were made to withstand being
played over and over again.... as long as the stylus was maintained.  This record was positively played with a correctly looked
after stylus and what fantastic sound!  Back in 1967, a small orchestra was inside the BBC broadcasting studio with the Beatles
and their invited friends, following are the first vocals,"Love, love, love" sung in harmonies, the strings really have the most
tremendous power, they come in just as John's very special lead vocals deliver the opening lyrics. The nervous tension John was
  feeling can be seen in the film of the broadcast as he sat on a stool chewing gum, while singing to the world live.  Quite a feat
for someone who had not performed live for a year and knew this was the first global broadcast ever made. With such full sound
  on the record, due to the very strong vocal harmonies and many counter melodies coming from the orchestration, also George's
lead guitar has an extra prominence in this first UK 45 mono mix.  I will return to why the mix is so unique in a moment, George's
solo is in pin-point definition and the repeated chorus gathers more voices as the track gets further into near four minutes of
  glorious sounds. Mick Jagger was among those seated on the floor adding his voice to the chorus and in particular the long ending
  piece, there is no surface sound , crackles or clicks on the whole track, as expected from 'Excellent.'  The mono mix is meant to
  be available on the UK mono sound track "Yellow Submarine" album,  there is contention about being a 'fold down' from the stereo
mix, which indeed it was!  There is only one source for the original mono Master Tape, either you visit Abbey Road and beg for a
listen, or you obtain a UK first pressing in this magnificent audio perfection.  A really powerful playing record with incredible
mono sound quality and now for the psychedelic feast of magical sounds on the other side.


  Once again the run-in grooves only have low level static, no more than from a Mint record, permitting a clear and clean intro,
lacking a single crackle or click was precisely how they were pressed, nothing at all to do with the label printing!  I do find it
  bizarre how a magazine supposed to be concerned with records, ignores the fact there are two sides on any single, that means this
  is indeed the very first pressing of the most underrated Beatles recording of all time. The UK mono mix of this never appeared on
  any UK Beatles albums, if the A-side was unique to only this single, "Baby You're A Rich Man" is off the scale for exclusiveness
to the original 1967 single.  The intro has a strange exotic sound rather like an oboe, droning psychedelia continues to dominate
the whole track, it was in fact a clavioline played by John Lennon who also wrote the line,"One of the beautiful people" and the
wonderful thought provoking verses.   As I said before, it was that Lennon and McCartney style of genius at work, Paul wrote the
"Baby, you're a rich man" chorus and by putting the two different fragments of songs together there was the creation of a real
masterpiece.  This was a really sensational mono mix, mastered in massively  loud and powerfully impacting sound, to hear this
Nea Mint UK first pressing you need to brace yourself!   Paul's bass guitar is at wall shattering volume, the sheer clarity here
is breathtaking, there are none of those irritating but unfortunately very common distortion problems or clicks & clunks, John's
  amazing tone to his vocals never sounded any better than this. The smallest details like the hand claps leap out of the speakers
at you, underpinning everything, is that astronomical, booming bass guitar.  There are no crackles etc. and what a superb record
  this is for both sides. You are engulfed by psychedelic sounds and, 'Tuned to a natural E and happy to be that way.'

My lifetime's love of music and records began at a very young age, the arrival of the Beatles and the 1960's decade
  in general had a very profound effect. It was only natural to bring all my first hand experience of collecting vinyl
  into becoming a professional record seller.  Over twenty years ago now we entered into the wonderful atmosphere
of record fairs with the highest possible standards set. When the Internet became the world's new market place for
  vinyl, in 2001 it was time to join ebay. Those standards were rigidly adhered to as they will always continue to be,

We have kept all our charges at the same level for years now, but due to the Post Office's new price increases, regretfully we
will have to increase the cost of LP's, however, singles will remain unchanged.  Ebay were aware of that happening and have

our UK First Class, Recorded Delivery cost for albums up to the value of £46.  

For LP's valued above £46, the cost will be £9, we are unhappy about either increase but our high standard of packaging has meant
in 12 years of ebay trading, there has not been one record damaged, we are determined to maintain that in the present and future.
