~ NO ONE’S GONNA CHANGE OUR WORLD ~

(1969 STARLINE RECORDS – RARE UK FIRST PRESSING!)

ON OFFER HERE IS THIS UK FIRST PRESSING OF THE EXTREMELY SCARCE 1969 COMPILATION CHARITY RECORD "NO ONE'S GOING TO CHANGE OUR WORLD". THIS ALBUM IS PARTICULARLY NOTABLE AS, FOR MANY YEARS, IT WAS THE ONLY PLACE YOU COULD FIND THIS UNIQUE MIX OF “ACROSS THE UNIVERSE” BY THE BEATLES:

During the February 1968 recording sessions for 'Across The Universe', Spike Milligan dropped into the studio and on hearing the song suggested the track would be ideal for release on a charity album he was organiSing for the World Wildlife Fund. At some point in 1968 The Beatles agreed to this proposal, and the track was mixed into stereo for the first time by George Martin. The original mix (mono and stereo) is 3:37. For the 'wildlife' album it was deemed appropriate to add sound effects of birds at the beginning and end of the track. After the effects were added the track was sped up; so that even with 20 seconds of effects the track is only 3:49.

THIS VERSION IS NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT TO THE ONE THAT APPEARED ON THE “LET IT BE” LP IN 1970  AND WAS ALL BUT UNKNOWN UNTIL IT RE-APPEARED ON THE RARITIES BOX SET SAMPLER IN 1978 AND THE SUBSEQUENT LP IN 1980.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS STARLINE SRS 5013

MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: SRS 5013 A-1 / SRS 5013 B-1

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR AND A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION. ON THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE THERE IS SOME MINOR DISCOLOURATION. THERE ARE A FEW MINOR BUMPS TO THE OPENING, OTHERWISE THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE THE SPINE IS SUPERB.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES ON MY PROJECT RPM 4 AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.
