ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS AND ELUSIVE OF ALL THE BEATLES' ALBUMS - THE DANISH "ESKIMO" COVER "HOTTEST HITS" FROM 1965 IN MONO, A COMPILATION OF NON-ALBUM TRACKS. ON THE BLACK AND SILVER DANISH PARLOPHONE LABEL PMCS 306. THIS DENMARK ONLY ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN SPRING 1965 WITH A PRESSING RUN OF ONLY 3000 AND PROMPTLY WITHDRAWN ONLY TWO WEEKS LATER. FAMOUS FOR IT'S SUPERB SOUND QUALITY AS WELL AS IT'S SCARCITY, THE ALBUM SOUNDS GREAT TOO, WITH GREAT RANGE, BOOMING BASS, SCORCHING VOCALS, CRUNCHING GUITARS AND PLENTY OF RINGO'S TRADEMARK TINGLING CYMBALS!
THE FAMOUS COVER IS IN "GOOD" CONDITION TO BE CONSERVATIVE. MODERATE BUMPING TO THE CORNERS, A LITTLE LAMINATE "GHOSTING" IN THE BOTOM CORNER, SOME WRINKLING AS YOU WOULD EXPECT AT THE SLEEVE OPENING EDGE WITH MODERATE FEATHERING THERE ALSO, MODERATE RUBBING TO THE EDGES. NO TEARS! ON THE REVERSE THERE IS EVIDENCE OF NORMAL HANDLING, BUT NO WRITINGS! THE FOLDOVERS ARE ALL COMPLETE
THE VINYL STILL RETAINS IT'S SHEEN, PROBABLY VG VISUALLY, BUT ON PLAYING IT MUST BE UPGRADED TO VG+ OVERALL, MAYBE EVEN EX MINUS IN MANY PLACES. I APPRECIATE THAT GRADING IS ALL SUBJECTIVE OPINION, SO I MUST BE CAREFUL! THE VERY OCCASIONAL LIGHT CRACKLE IN BETWEEN TRACKS AND A FEW SECONDS OF VERY LIGHT SURFACE NOISE ON "I FEEL FINE". YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED ON PLAYING THIS ALBUM!
MATRIX NUMBERS XSTX 115 1/XSTX 116 1
THE LABELS ARE CLEAN, WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE A VERY SLIGHT FOLDING FAULT ON THE SIDE TWO LABEL WHICH RUNS THROUGH THE PRINT. HOW MANY HAD THIS?
TRACKS: SIDE ONE
I FEEL FINE - I CALL YOUR NAME - I'LL GET YOU - FROM ME TO YOU - THIS BOY - SHE LOVES YOU
SIDE TWO: LONG TALL SALLY - THANK YOU GIRL - MATCHBOX - SHE'S A WOMAN - SLOW DOWN - I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND
SO THERE IT IS, THE ONLY COPY I'VE SEEN OR LIKELY TO SEE, OFFERED WITH NO RESERVE. HIGHEST BIDDER WINS!
GOOD LUCK!
