Description

Few Beatles first UK release cassettes have I seen in this excellent condition. An impeccable example of the first UK cassette release in September 1970, of "A Collection Of Beatles Oldies" by The Beatles. EMI's official Christmas 1966 Beatles album with all the singles hits.

Distinguished by its elementary newspaper design "white inlay", the circular 1 &7/8 ips mark on the spine (along with the catalogue number) and the other Beatles cassette albums advertising on the fold over of the inlay, this first release design was produced until the end of 1971, when the different "all gold" designs for the reissues were introduced.

 There is very minor bubbling to the lime green paper labels, but this does not detract from the overall excellent condition. See Photos. Clearly little used. There are no pen marks or scuffing/tearing of the inlay. I have run it through my Sony Music Centre and it plays perfectly. Complete with its original black plastic and clear Norelco case.

This is one of the cassettes that were produced without the EMI/ Parlophone logo on the paper label - There was a shortage of expensive letterpress blocks.

If you want to know more detail about these rare Beatles gems, please see my other items for "A Guide To UK First Release Beatles Cassettes - 1968-1971"

Because it is in the excellent condition it is, I have placed a reasonable Buy It Now price on it, which reflects its extraordinarily condition for a first release Beatles cassette. If you want one of the best - this is it.......
