BEATLES 1964 SIE LIEBT DICH (SHE LOVES YOU) S-4182-S MONO ON SWAN RECORDS WITH NM/MINT S-4152 PICTURE SLEEVE

Side A: "SIE LIEBT DICH (SHE LOVES YOU)" (SWAN S-4182-S)
 Side B: "I'LL GET YOU" (SWAN S-4182-I)
RELEASED: 5/21/64, OSC
(SWAN 4182.01A, SPIZER)

MALLARD PRESSING, “BOLD” PRINT WITH SAME ONE-LINE TRANSLATION.

THIS EXAMPLE IS THE MALLARD PRESSING, WHICH HAS THE GERMAN AND ENGLISH TITLES SURROUNDED BY QUOTATION MARKS ON ONE LINE. IT DOES SHOW PLAY WITH HAIRLINES WITH EXCELLENT LABELS THAT HAS NO WRITING, NO RIPS/TEARS AND NO STICKERS. IT IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY AN ORIGINAL SWAN S-4152 RED & WHITE NEAR MINT PICTURE SLEEVE WITH NO SEAM SPLITS & NO WRITING. LOOKS GORGEOUS TOGETHER !!

THE GERMAN-LYRIC RECORDING OF "SIE LIEBT DICH" WAS RECORDED BY THE BEATLES ON JANUARY 29, 1964 AND WAS ISSUED IN GERMANY ON THE ODEON LABEL IN MID MARCH 1964.

ON MAY 21, 1964, SWAN RELEASED A SINGLE PAIRING "SIE LIEBT DICH (SHE LOVES YOU)" WITH THE SAME MASTER RECORDING OF "I'LL GET YOU" THAT SERVED AS THE B-SIDE TO SHE LOVES YOU. THE RECORD LISTS THE GROUP AS "DIE BEATLES" ON ITS A-SIDE LABEL.

SWAN WAS HOPING THAT THE NOVELTY OF HEARING THE BEATLES SING IN GERMAN WOULD BE ENOUGH TO OBTAIN RADIO AIR PLAY AND SALES. IT WASN'T, FOR IT DIPPED TO NUMBER 97 BEFORE DISAPPEARING FROM THE BILLBOARD CHARTS.

FURTHERMORE, SWAN HAD THE RIGHTS TO THE SPECIFIC MASTER RECORDINGS, BUT NOT THE SONGS THEMSELVES AND WERE SUED BY CAPITOL RECORDS. SWAN SETTLED THE LAWSUIT, AND THE SETTLEMENT KILLED ANY CHANCE OF "SIE LIEBT DICH" BECOMING A HIT IN THE U.S.
 THIS EXPLAINS THE RECORD'S RELATIVE SCARCITY, ESPECIALLY THIS ISSUE WITH THE ONE-LINE TITLE ALL IN QUOTATIONS.
