Circa 1970 comes this first pressing of a Beatles collection from Contra Band Music (see Notes, below). It includes the “Christmas Sessions”, which were sent to fan club members back in the day, along with alternate takes and early recordings of the fab four, some as the back-up band for Tony Sheridan. This version also contains a no Beatle involvement track by Jethro Tull as the first track on side A mistakenly.

THIS COPY is a 1st pressing from 1970 on Contra Band Music Records (see Notes, below).

The vinyl, per a test listen, played without any issues. The Christmas skits performed by the boys are clear and funny to listen to again after all these years. The vinyl is in Very Good Plus [VG+] or better condition. That said, some tracks fare better than others based on the original recordings.

The original cover is plain white with a cover picture printed on a separate piece of paper that was placed over the cover before the shrink wrap was applied. Both the cardboard cover and the separate picture are in Very Good Plus [VG+] condition.

The original inner sleeves, which are plain white, are believed to be the originals. The are both in Very Good Plus [VG+] condition.

Notes

This variation of the Contra Band Music Records release has actual filled out labels as opposed to most which were plain white with no writing whatsoever. These LP's came with plain white cardboard jackets. The label showing the album name was on a piece of paper which was merely laid on top of the jacket before being shrink-wrapped.

This pressing contains a no Beatle involvement track by Jethro Tull as the first track on side A mistakenly.
