                                                                                                     REPLICA OF THE WORLD'S RAREST RECORD

                                                THE BEATLES/THE QUARRYMEN IN SPITE OF ALL THE DANGER/THAT'LL BE THE DAY 

 Recorded in 1958 by the group then known as "The Quarrymen", the lineup consisted of Paul, George, John, Colin Hanton and John "Duff" Lowe. It was recorded in Percy Philips' home studio in Kensington, Liverpool, and the group only had the money to pay for one single copy. Each band member kept the acetate disc for a week. Lowe was the last to have it, keeping it for nearly 25 years. In 1981, Lowe attempted to sell it at auction, but McCartney intervened and purchased it from him

McCartney had engineers restore as much of the record's sound quality as possible and then made approximately 50 copies of the single that he gave as personal gifts to family and friends. Record Collector magazine has the original pressing as the most valuable record in existence

 

In 2000, John "Duff" Lowe, original Quarrymen band member, was allowed to make a limited number of exact replicas and this is one of those.

These replicas are identical in every way to the original

This is  a low number, 56 and also has a CD of his experiences in the band and the recording of the acetate. I will also include some magazine cuttings relating to the acetate and the invoice from the Auction House, Cooper Owen  where i purchased it from 

Excellent condition. Frame measures 65cm by 50cm

 

Ive had to list the postage as £7 but the winning bidder is responsible for all shipping/insurance costs.

 

Payment within 24 hours please and item can be packed and sent within 48 hours of payment
