Swan Records S-4152-S She Loves You b/w I'll Get You THE BEATLES.  Vintage circa 1963 SCARCE ORIGINAL RED LABEL pressing.  A very hard record to find and many collectors are not aware it even exists. According to Beatles expert Bruce Spizer in his definitive book on the subject The Beatles Swan Song (see photos) the Swan 45 rpm SHE LOVES YOU red label shown here is a TRUE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS circa 1963 SWAN ISSUE 45rpm.  
Swan Records RE-ISSUED a BLACK LABEL 45rpm early in 1964 and that is the pressing most collectors own.   
The RARE RED LABEL 45rpm offered here was pressed in very low numbers, did not sell well as The Beatles were unknown in the USA.  According to Mr. Spizer less than 50,000 red and white label 45s' were pressed in late 1963  vs. over 1.5 million of the re-issued 1964 black label version.   
The SWAN RED LABEL She Loves You 45rpm OFFERED HERE is an AUTHENTIC circa 1963 example and is a strong VG+ with a beautiful shine, light scratches and scuffs still very nice with VG+ with glossy Swan labels showing some light wear...this 45rpm RED LABEL 45rpm is in very nice condition and is a real survivor for sure.   
This RED LABEL 45 rpm has machine stamped MASTERING RECO ART PHILA along with stamped in serial numbers around the inner groove as is correct. This RARE 45 rpm comes along a scarce circa 1964 SWAN record MAILER with sealed back flap otherwise fine. This rare mailer shows great aging after over 60 years in storage but has never been sent through the mail.  Just a hand full of these over 60 year old SWAN mailers were recently discovered in a Swan Record Company executive Walter Gates estate...... when they are gone....they are gone! 
These early Beatles 45rpm records are HARD TO FIND in nice condition as Beatles fans played them over and over, this 45rpm is a BEATLEful example and it comes with an original Swan  45rpm record MAILER!
