The Beatles- RARE

I am informed that only 900 were issued. This version has the Northern Songs publishing credit and changed from the "Dick James Music Co." publishing credit. Soon after the changeover to the Northern Songs credit the albums lettering changed. Consequently, it is said that only 900 of these were issued. Hence, the rarity!

Record is in pristine condition but some damage to cover.
