BEATLES "IF I FELL"
VERY RARE UK DOMESTIC ISSUE
ORIGINAL 1965 UK RELEASE.
"IF I FELL" WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED FOR THE EXPORT MARKET IN OCTOBER 1964. THESE ISSUES CARRIED DP 562 CATALOGUE NUMBER, "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED" TEXT BUT "NO SOLD IN UK" TEXT. CERTAIN SPECULATIVE RECORD DEALERS "RE-IMPORTED" THE SINGLE AND SOLD IT AT A PREMIUM ABOVE THE REGULATION PRICE. TO COUNTER THE IMPORTERS IN EARLY 1965 EMI PRESSED A SMALL QUANTITY OF THE SINGLE FOR SALE IN BRITAIN. THESE PRESSINGS STILL CARRIED THE DP 562 NUMBER AND "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED" TEXT BUT THIS TIME HAD THE ADDITION OF "SOLD IN UK" TEXT.
THESE ORIGINAL UK ISSUES ARE NOW VERY RARE AND ARE SELDOM OFFERED FOR SALE.
