ATTENTION BEATLES AND BEATLES COVER VERSION RECORDS COLLECTORS!
This is an unknown item to most Beatles collectors and I am confident to state it being the FIRST EVER BEATLES COVER VERSION EVER RELEASED TOWARDS THE END OF 1962! THE SPARROWS:"LOVE ME DO".
Before you rush to your EMBASSY collection,this better known cover versions label DID NOT issue a version of what was the FIRST EVER BEATLES HIT SONG!
THIS VERSION IS PERFORMED IN RATHER PLODDING FASHION WITH THE HARMONICA SOUNDING MORE MOURNFUL AND THE VOCALS EQUALLY MISERABLE! TO BE FAIR HOW COULD THESE FLY BY NIGHTS BEING PAID PEANUTS IMAGINE THEY WERE COVERING THE WORLD'S BEST EVER ROCK BAND AT THE START OF IT ALL! YOU CAN HEAR IT ON THE INTERNET ON U-TUBE!
HERE IS A 1962 COVER VERSION EP ON THE CANNON LABEL #EP 005 CONTAINING COVER VERSIONS OF WHAT WERE THEN CURRENT HITS FOR THE BEATLES(LOVE ME DO) BUDDY HOLLY(REMINISCING)MARTY ROBBINS(DEVIL WOMAN)BOBBY DARIN(IF A MAN ANSWERS)ACKER BILK(LONELY)AND THE BIZARRE INCLUSION OF THE GERSHWIN TUNE"I GOT PLENTY OF NUTTIN"-PERFORMED BY SESSION SINGERS WHO MAKE A VALIENT ATTEMPT TO COPY THE POWER AND MAJESTY OF THE ORIGINALS BUT NATURALLY END UP WITH EFFORTS MORE AKIN TO COMEDY! IT IS ONE OF THE LESS SEEN CANNON LABEL ISSUES-THAT IN RECENT YEARS HAVE BECOME QUITE SOUGHT AFTER. THIS ONE HAS NOT HAD MUCH USE WITH SOME SURFACE MARKS AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE BUT PLAYS FINE APART FROM A JUMP ON THE BOBBY DARIN COVER VERSION.HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL SPECIAL"CANNON HITS OF TODAY"COVER.
THE PRINT RUN FOR SUCH ITEMS WAS LIMITED AND THE DISCS WERE ONLY SOLD IN SELECTIVE OUTLETS-MOST POTENTIAL BUYERS WERE QUICK TO NOTE THEY WERE CHEAP ALTERNATIVES WHICH WERE DELETED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE WHEN NEWER SONGS WERE BEING COVERED!
MOST DEALERS OVER THE YEARS INCLUDING ME HAVE THROWN THEM OUT OR NOT BOTHERED TO CHECK THEM OUT!
THIS COULD MAKE FOR A REALLY INTERESTING TALKING POINT ITEM IN YOUR BEATLES COLLECTION.
A REALISTIC LOW £10 STARTING PRICE! TRY AND FIND ANOTHER!
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many 1960s 45s collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
SHARP,CLEAN LABELS!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
