The Beatles - Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You. 45-R 4949
The Beatles 1962 UK 1st FACTORY SAMPLE DEMO pressing of 'Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You' 7" single. Released on the 5th October 1962, this comes complete with the rare original 'URGENT SPECIAL RUSH COPY TOP POP!' demo sleeve.
These initial early factory sample pressings would have usually been given out to reviewers, radio stations or used as quality control within the pressing plant.
It would appear this was originally the property of ATV Music Library (see a-side label). This was a publishing company which actually owned the publishing rights to most of The Beatles' songs. It was famously bought by Michael Jackson in 1985 much to the annoyance of Paul McCartney.
Released on the red Parlophone label both sides feature the ‘Recording First published 1962’ text. The a-side label features an embossed ‘PT’ tax code. Quite unusually the run out area features a different tax code ‘ZTP’. A very desirable version of this early single.
The Matrix numbers are:
Side 1. 7XCE 17144-1N 1 G R ZTP
Side 2. 7XCE-17145-1N 1 T ZTP
The vinyl is in VERY GOOD+ condition.
Both labels are in EXCELLENT condition.
The sleeve is in VERY GOOD+ condition. I will include an additional sleeve to protect the original.
