Beatles - A Collection of Beatles Oldies
EMI/Apple EAS-80557 Japan 1976
Sleeve : Excellent
Vinyl : Excellent
It was Christmas time, 1966. Though hard at work on the beginnings of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, the Beatles had nothing for EMI to put out during the holiday season (aside from the annual Christmas record for the fan club). Revolver had come out in the first week of August, too early to exploit. What to do? So EMI issued this stopgap collection of 16 older recordings for the European market, in effect creating the first "Beatles Greatest Hits" album. Actually, it's not a predictable hits anthology, for it omits obvious hit singles like "Please Please Me" and "Love Me Do," and includes popular album cuts like "Yesterday" and "Michelle" that were not issued as singles in the U.K. But it doesn't skimp on quantity, offering 16 songs instead of the usual 14, taking the saga all the way up to Revolver, and collecting some British singles into album format for the first time.
Scarce 1976 Japanese Apple label issue of the 1966 16-track STEREO vinyl LP, housed in a full colour pasted picture sleeve complete with 4-page Japanese text biography/lyric insert and wide 'Union Flag' #8 picture/discography obi-strip!
