This is one of the rarest Beatles records known to exist to this day. No one knows how many survived since all were to be destroyed just minutes after they were pressed. None were ever released since they were all assumed destroyed, therefore extinct, never to be seen again. Apparently, a small number, perhaps only a handful survived, and were saved and smuggled out of the Campo plant, in Canada, along with the rare tab-cut white 'The Beatles On Apple' sleeve that was only printed in 1968. then for a few short months in 1969.

The insanely rare has Come Together 'A' side with Something as the 'B' side. 'A' side shows heavy play/scratches but still plays good with NO writing on the labels and NO stickers or glue residue. The incredibly rare seldom-seen sleeve for Come Together 'A' side is stunningly *MINT* with NO seam splits, NO writing, NO rips, NO tears and NO tape/glue. Just the *Mint* sleeve alone, I've sold for over $200 in the past on eBay !!

Come Together 'B' side with Something on the 'B' side is Near Mint showing very little play. *MINT* labels with NO writing, NO stickers or glue. The Rare White 'The Beatles On Apple' sleeve for this one is EX with NO seam splits, NO writing, NO tape and NO glue residue.

The first of these amazing rare sleeves were issued August 26, 1968 while the other sleeves were issued in May 1969 and October 1969 on Beatles 45s pressed by Compo, in Canada. Records pressed by RCA used the more common black sleeve. Earlier, and some later Beatles and other Apple artists, including early John Lennon singles, were issued with white sleeves on 45's pressed by Compo, that just had the single word 'Apple' on the sleeve. They only used 'The Beatles on Apple' sleeve a few months, after the 'Hey Jude' single. The only three Canadian Beatles singled, pressed by Compo, where they used this super rare white sleeve were Hey Jude/Revolution, released August 26th 1968, Get Back/Don't Let Me Down, released in Canada May 5th 1969, and Something/Come Together released October 6th, 1969. The paper stock of these sleeves are less then half as thick as that of the Black sleeves, and that is why not many of these are known to exist today. Most got very easily ripped and were immediately thrown out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apple 2654 The Beatles ComeTogether/Something Issued on October 6, 1969, this INCORRECT single features Come Together on the A-side, while it was SOMETHING that was supposed to be the A-song, on the 'B' side. Come Together has the incorrect timing of 2:16 when the correct time was 4:16...Perhaps less then a handful of these Compo mistake pressings were made. They are extremely rare and it is assumed that the batch of incorrect singles were spotted with hours, on the same day, recalled and destroyed almost as soon as production commenced at the Compo pressing plant. It is one of the rarest Beatles 45 ever produced but never sold.

It is most likely that whoever saw the two tracks being issued as a single in Canada assumed the Lennon track would be the A-side. These limited pressings were scheduled to be issued in the Super Mega rare tab-cut white 'THE BEATLES ON APPLE' sleeve, while later pressings used the much more common black 'The Beatles On Apple' sleeve.
