SIE LIEBT DICH (SHE LOVES YOU) B/W I’LL GET YOU
SWAN 4182 RADIO DEMO IN EXCELLENT ++ TO MINT!!
RELEASED: MAY 21, 1964 
      (ACTUAL SCANS OF RARE RECORD FOR AUCTION) 
DISC JOCKEY ADVANCE COPY, "PROMOTIONAL COPY" & "NOT FOR SALE" (SWAN 4182.DJ1B, SPIZER)
THE GERMAN-LYRIC RECORDING OF SIE LIEBT DICH WAS RECORDED BY THE BEATLES ON JANUARY 29, 1964 AND WAS ISSUED IN GERMANY ON THE ODEON LABEL IN MID MARCH 1964. ON OR ABOUT MAY 21, 1964, SWAN RELEASED A SINGLE PAIRING SIE LIEBT DICH (SHE LOVES YOU) WITH THE SAME MASTER RECORDING OF I'LL GET YOU THAT SERVED AS THE B-SIDE TO SHE LOVES YOU. THE RECORD LISTS THE GROUP AS "DIE BEATLES" ON ITS A-SIDE LABEL. 
SWAN WAS HOPING THAT THE NOVELTY OF HEARING THE BEATLES SING IN GERMAN WOULD BE ENOUGH TO OBTAIN RADIO AIR PLAY AND SALES. IT WASN'T, FOR IT DIPPED TO NUMBER 97 BEFORE DISAPPEARING FROM THE BILLBOARD CHARTS. FURTHERMORE, SWAN HAD THE RIGHTS TO THE SPECIFIC MASTER RECORDINGS, BUT NOT THE SONGS THEMSELVES AND WERE SUED BY CAPITOL RECORDS. SWAN SETTLED THE LAWSUIT, AND THE SETTLEMENT KILLED ANY CHANCE OF SIE LIEBT DICH BECOMING A HIT IN THE U.S.

THIS EXPLAINS THE RECORD'S RELATIVE SCARCITY. 
THIS STELLAR MONARCH PRESSING OF THE PROMOTIONAL DISC IS PRESSED IN STYRENE AND HAS VIRTUE STUDIO HAND ETCHED MARKINGS INCLUDING THE JOB NUMBERS HAND ETCHED IN THEIR TRAIL OFF AREAS (Please See Scans Listed).

THE A-SIDE HAS "PROMOTIONAL COPY" IN THE LOWER LEFT AND A PRINTED "X" IN THE LOWER RIGHT. THE "DON'T DROP OUT" PRINT IS ALSO THERE IN THE UPPER LEFT, AS IT IS ON ALL OF THE WHITE LABEL COPIES OF THIS RELEASE.

 THE B-SIDE HAS "PROMOTIONAL COPY" IN THE LOWER LEFT AND "NOT FOR SALE" IN THE LOWER RIGHT. 

THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL IS AN EXCELLENT ++ TO MINT PRISTINE MINUS. IT SEEMS THIS 'BEAUTIFUL' PRESS HAS HAD ONLY A FEW RADIO PLAYS IN 1964, WHICH MAKES IT A "HOLY GRAIL" COPY FOR SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTORS TO OWN!! THIS IS THE 'ULTIMATE' UPGRADE TO OWN IN YOUR COLLECTION. I HAVE NOT SEEN A BETTER COPY ON EBAY OR IN MY TWENTY YEARS OF COLLECTING BEATLES RECORDS!!! WITH GROOVES THAT DISPLAYS A GLEAMING BRILLIANT AND SHINY HIGH-GLOSS SHEEN AND GIVING IT A LOUD CLEAR SOUND WITH ‘NO JUMPS OR HISS’. IT PLAYS LIKE IT WAS ‘PRESSED YESTERDAY’. I HAVE ONLY PLAYED IT ‘TWICE’ ONCE WHEN I PURCHASED IT TWELVE YEARS AGO AND ONCE AGAIN TO CHECK IT FOR THIS AUCTION!!!!

 THE LABELS ARE MERE PERFECTION, CONSIDERING THIS 'RARE MUST-HAVE COPY' IS NOW SIXTY TWO YEARS OLD. BOTH SIDES OF THE LABELS ARE SNOW WHITE (Please See Scans) NEAR MINT, WITH DEEP, DARK BLACK FONTS. 

BECAUSE THIS SINGLE SOLD POORLY AND HAD LIMITED DISTRIBUTION, ALL STOCK COPY VARIATIONS ARE RELATIVELY RARE. YET MORE IMPORTANT, THE PROMOTIONAL SINGLES ARE EVEN SCARCER, AND I AM PROUD TO OFFER SUCH A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE HERE FOR THIS RARE NEAR 'DEAD-STOCK' COPY FOR AUCTION TO ALL 'SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTORS WIRLDWIDE!!!

 I HAVE BEEN A BEATLES COLLECTOR FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS & A VINYL COLLECTOR FOR 'THIRTY EIGHT' YEARS. ALL MY RARE RECORD LISTINGS ARE 100% ACCURATE & REFLECT THE CONDITION WITHIN THE DESCRIPTION. I AM PROUD TO HAVE AN 100% EBAY RECORD &HAVE AN EXCELLENT FEEDBACK RECORD BY LOYAL CUSTOMERS. IF YOU NEED ANY EXTRA INFORMATION ON THIS BEAUTIFUL PRESS, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE. I UPDATE MY EBAY PAGE EVERYDAY.

Thank you for your interest & hope you are lucky in your Bidding which starts at 0.99p. I HAVE PUT A LOW STARTING BID OF 0.99p, AND AN REASONABLE RESERVE WHICH REFLECTS THE RARITY OF THIS ‘EXCELLECT ++ TO MINT’ CONDITION.
