HISTORY
This is a early pressing YELLOW SUBMARINE LP originally released in 1968 as a soundtrack to the Beatles film of the same name. A Factory Sample version is a test pressing copy stickered at the beginning of each run of new pressings. These particularl copies are then witheld for listening and then are stored carefully, often shared internally with other staff at EMI, or passed on to other music insiders or radio stations. They often tend to be in good condition due to ending up with careful owners.
