Special Rush Copy – Urgent – Top Pop! Rare early 1960s record cover that housed ‘A’ Label Demo singles from Parlophone EMI label Records, e.g. Beatles Demos. Red Lettering.
This is a nice example of the scarce paper record cover that was sent out in the early 1960s containing Demonstration singles from EMI labels such as Parlophone. It is mainly a bright sky-blue colour, with a couple of white areas and all of the text is printed is in red (which appears maroon when printed on the blue areas). It reads “Special Rush Copy – Urgent – Another Top Pop! on (whatever label the cover contained) – Listen NOW Please”. (It probably doesn’t mention the specific label by name so that the covers could be used for a variety of labels over a period of time). The records (and covers) would have been sent to radio stations and reviewers etc. These were the sleeves that the earliest Beatles Demo records came in and of course if you happen to have one of these records then the cover will complement it perfectly.The cover is in a good strong VG+ condition. It has a couple of light creases and on one side there are a couple of TINY ‘nicks’ by the centre hole (no paper is missing) but certainly no writing, grazes, stickers or splits etc. I have shown both sides below.
