ONE OF THE RAREST NORWEGIAN EP ISSUES INCLUDING THE RARE RINGO VERSION OF LOVE ME DO
THE BEATLES LOVE ME DO / P.S. I LOVE YOU
RED PARLOPHONE MISSPELLING LABELS WITH THE McARTNEY MISPRINT ON BOTH SIDES
One more incredibly rare Norwegian issue released in September, 1964 of the 7 Beatles EP with two singles, Love Me Do and P.S. I Love You . Love Me Do was the debut Beatles hit composed by Lennon / McCartney and released on October 5th, 1962 in the Great Britain, which would subsequently become number one hit in the US in 1964. Love Me Do was recorded in three different versions, each of them with a different drummer, Ringo Starr, Andy White and Pete Best. Interestingly enough, the version included in the Beatles debut UK album Please, Please Me was the Andy White version whereas this extremely rare Norwegian EP includes the Ringo Starr version of Love Me Do whose original master tape has been lost along with the original mixed down copy with no back ups done. Original purple / white paper flap over picture sleeve of Norwegian design containing Dezo Hoffman s 1963 photo of the band members wearing the grey Pierre Cardin suits and unique catalog number R 4949. The image contains the band member s autographs and The Beatles Parlophone Records text. The back cover contains the Norwegian TOP 10 10 TOPPER singles. Original red Parlophone Made in Norway labels with the Parlophone logo and catalog number R 4949. Both labels indicate Lennon - McCartney as the author of the songs, however, with the misprint reading McArtney . The full matrix numbers are as follows: Side 1 - 7XCE 17144 K / Side 2 - 7XCE 17145 K.
I grade the cover as somewhere between Very Good Plus and Excellent Minus. The paper picture sleeve doesn t have any splits, writing or missing pieces, just some light overall shelf wear and creasing. The shiny and glossy vinyl is also graded as somewhere between strong Very Good Plus and Excellent Minus having some very light hairlines and scuffs, most likely from the original picture sleeve. The labels are very clean and are wear- and scuff-free, only having a couple of very light spindle marks seen under a strong light source.
