Both the U.K. and U.S. releases were published later (U.K., August 05, 1966, Y/B Parlophone, PMC 7009 -mono-, PCS 7009 -stereo- / U.S., August 08, 1966, Capitol Rainbow T 2576 -mono-, ST 2576 -stereo-, different track listing).

German Odeon came up with two different Cover- and label versions on the same day: One for domestic use, published under Odeon's popular HoerZu branch, a second one that wasn't publicily available on the German market but was geared towards the EXPORT market, first and foremost Switzerland.
The record you are bidding on belongs to the latter one.

Belonging to a very early pressing, record has a label error on Side B, where song #5 is cited I Want To Love</</b> You, instead of the "proper spelling" " I Want To Tell You, George's third contribution to this record(!)

Thick, heavy vinyl, an original black/white pictures Odeon inner sleeve plus the record's overall EX condition round the picture, and warm every true collector's heart!

 

1st Class Packaging

We are Collectors, hence every record is stored (and will be sent) in a sophisticated way. Many experienced collectors were thrilled by our unique, bullet-proof "packing technicque". Original cover, inner sleeve(s), prospective inserts, and/or whatever may come across, are stored separately. The vinyl sits in a neutral antistatic, padded inner sleeve, which is housed in a stable, neutral cardboard cover. Package is protected by one (or more) transparent plastic sleeves. Finally, all items are being wrapped with thick bubble foil and go to a professional record mailer.

For packaging, we use brand-new material & items only.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.)
