You are bidding on a hard to find 1st pressing of the unique Canadian Beatles' LP "Twist and Shout". Very first pressings of this LP have a Side 1 matrix of XEX 447 and side 2 matrix of XEX 448. Subsequent pressings had a dash with number added at the end. The disc has no dash and number on either side confirming it was a very first "deep groove" pressing. Later pressings had the word (Canada) in brackets in the rim text. On this pressing the word Canada is without brackets.
The LP comes in the earliest jacket which can be identified by the absence of a dash in the catalogue number at the top right front of the cover. It can also be identified by the curve in the inner seam flap inside the cover. Later covers were constructed with a straight flap inner seam.
The majority of these LP's you see on eBay will have a dash in the catalogue number on the cover, a dash-number at the end of the matrix or both, indicating they are not first pressings.
This copy does not have a Capitol Pathe inner sleeve as initial copies were not necessarily issued with one.
