THE BEATLES
"FROM ME TO YOU b/w THANK YOU GIRL" PARLOPHONE 45-SPD 267 RELEASED IN SOUTH AFRICA IN 1963
A FEW COUNTRIES ABROAD USED THE ICONIC RED AND SILVER PARLOPHONE LABELS ON LATER BEATLES RELEASES AFTER THE UK's FIRST TWO SINGLES HAD SWITCHED TO BLACK AND SILVER I THINK OUT OF THE UK IT WAS JUST A QUESTION OF USING UP THE LABELS ,EVEN SO THEY ONLY SEEMED TO BE AVAILABLE IN VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES BEFORE THEY TOO SWITCHED TO BLACK AND SILVER
THIS PARTICULAR COPY DOES HAD A GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACES BUT DOES HAVE HANDLING MARKS ALTHOUGH THE 'A' SIDE ONLY SEEMS TO SHOW TWO IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT ONE OF WHICH IS FEELABLE BUT RECORD SEEMS TO PLAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS
THE 'B' SIDE DOES SHOW MORE LIGHT MARKS BUT NOTHING FEELABLE AND AGAIN PLAYS THROUGH EFFECTIVELY
LABELS ARE CLEAN AND LEGIBLE BUT THERE IS A NUMBER LIGHTLY STAMPED ON THE 'A' SIDE BUT CAN'T MAKE IT OUT UNFORTUNATELY
RECORD IS IN A UK STRIPEY SLEEVE BUT NOT SURE WETHER IT WOULD HAVE COME IN THAT TYPE BUT IT DOES LOOK GOOD IN IT
