BEATLES - 1967-1970

Item Description

2 x Vinyl,
LP Compilation Repress

– Probably the first repress, 2nd greek edition, released about 1973-early '74, few months-or even weeks-after the very first blue apple label greek issues [r=4352952] & [r=11374643], because of the address "AG. SOFIAS STREET - THESSALONIKI" on EMIAL logo. This address switched to "CHRISOSTOMOU SMIRNIS ST." about the end of 1973-or during the beginning of 1974.
– Outer laminated gatefold sleeve.
– Printed inner sleeves containing lyrics on thin paper.
– Same cat# (PCSP 7181/2) with the very first greek editions [r=4352952] & [r=11374643] but different label color & rim text font: this issue's labels have dark green background color-not the classic sky blue one.
– The apples of the labels on the first record are reversed; Side A tracklist comes with the cut apple, and side B tracklist got the entire apple with the proper side B tracklist. (normally on every apple vinyl record, the cut apple appears always as side B)

Labels:
