The Beatles The Best of RARE Servicemen Taiwan Pressing Shrink Wrap LP First Record FL-1779 NM-/EX+
Vinyl NM- with only a few small faint scuffs on the B side. You must understand this is poorly mastered Korean record, it does not sound good despite its pristine condition.
Sleeve: EX Original flimsy cellophane intact. No rips or tears. Two corners have creasing under the cellophane.
Very obscure Beatles LP from Korea, First Record (????) is a label from Taiwan catering for US soldiers stationed there. Some sources claim the records were legal in that country, but this is still a controversial point of view. The releases are mostly copies from US or Japanese releases, often with altered colors, and include a wide array of styles.
Pressed in Taiwan to cash in on the 35,000 or so GI's that were stationed there between the 1950s and 1970s. The albums were usually pressed in batches of about 500, with no two batches looking or sounding the same (ie different covers, vinyl colors). Covers were usually recycled, meaning art for a totally different album was on the reverse side of the paper (covers were thin paper wrapped in cellophane).
The best part about this is the broken English lyric sheet that makes up the back cover! Have a look at the pictures for a chuckle! Please check out my other auctions, another Taiwanese Beatles Pressing is up for auction along with other obscure gems. Thanks!
