THE BEATLES"TICKET TO RIDE".1965 PARLOPHONE+RARE,SHORT LIVED UNUSUAL FONT PRINT

	£		38
	$		50

ATTENTION SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTORS!   

 HERE IS THE ONE OF THE HARDER TO FIND VARIATIONS OF A FAMOUS BEATLES SINGLE-DESPITE BEING A UK#1 MAJOR HIT,THIS ONE RARELY TURNS UP IN DECENT CONDITION! THE CLASSIC:"TICKET TO RIDE".

THE"B"SIDE="YES IT IS".

GUTSY MONO MIXES THAT LEAP OUT OF THE SPEAKERS!WHAT FANTASTIC VALUE FOR MONEY THIS SINGLE WAS WAY BACK IN 1965.

SO TO THE LABEL VARIATION! TOWARDS THE END OF 1964 AND DURING MUCH OF 1965,EMI WERE PRINTING LARGER AND SMALLER PRINT LABELS FOR SINGLES ON PARLOPHONE,COLUMBIA AND HMV.THE SMALLER "FONTS" USED IN ESPECIALLY THE MUCH SMALLER AND"SQUASHED UP"CENTRE TEXT(SOLD IN THE UK)OFTEN TURNS UP ON COPIES OF "HELP"BUT NOT VERY OFTEN ON"TICKET TO RIDE"AND YES! THERE ARE A LOT OF COPIES WITH SMALLER PRINT BUT THIS IS EVEN SMALLER-JUST COMPARE WITH THE STYLE USED FOR THE WORDS"THE BEATLES"-THE CATALOGUE NUMBER-INFACT ALL OF THE TEXT ON THE LABEL IS JUST THAT BIT SMALLER THAN THE NORMAL SMALLER TEXT LABELS! JUST TRAWL THROUGH OTHER COPIES ON EBAY AND COMPARE! ALMOST EVERY ONE HAS THE LARGER PRINT OR THOSE WITH SMALLER PRINT ARE NOT,I REPEAT NOT LIKE THIS MEGA-RARE VARIATION! LONG TERM BEATLES COLLECTORS WILL PROBABLY HAVE A COPY OF"HELP"LIKE THIS TO EXAMINE AND WILL REALISE THAT THIS REALLY IS SOMETHING SPECIAL! SOME TITLES SUCH AS THE BEATLES SINGLES WOULD HAVE SUCH MASSIVE DEMANDS THAT CONTRACT PRESSINGS WOULD BE MADE BY RIVAL RECORD COMPANIES.THIS IS NOT AS FAR AS I CAN TELL A CONTRACT PRESSING. THERE WERE CONTRACT PRESSINGS MAINLY FOR THE EARLIER RELEASES AND LATER ONES BUT EMI WERE WELL PREPARED FOR"TICKET TO RIDE"WITH ABOUT A MILLION COPIES PRESSED UP IN ADVANCE READY TO BE SHIPPED OUT TO ENSURE A DOMINANT #1 CHART POSITION FOR 3 WEEKS-I WOULD SUGGEST THIS PRESSING IS FROM THE NEXT BATCH AS THE SINGLE GRADUALLY SLID DOWN THE CHARTS A MONTH LATER WHEN A SMALLER PRINT RUN WAS DONE USING THE SMALLER FONT PRINTED LABELS! MOST FANS WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS SINGLE IN THE FIRST WEEK-MAKING THIS PRESSING FROM A FEW WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS LATER ONE OF THE RAREST VARIATIONS YOU WILL FIND OF THIS CLASSIC!

THE 1ST COPY I HAVE SEEN LIKE THIS IN YEARS AND SELECTED FROM MY OWN COLLECTION WHICH I AM PRUNING DOWN WITH MORE EXCITING AND RARELY SEEN BEATLES ITEMS ON EBAY FROM ME NOW AND IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS-SO CHECK OUT MY WEEKLY AUTIONS! 

EMI PRESSED PARLOPHONE R 5265. THIS COPY HAS HAD A FEW PLAYS BUT APART FROM A FEW FAINT SURFACE MARKS,A SHORT LIVED SURFACE"PATCH"THAT SOUNDS AT THE FIRST FEW SECONDS ON THE"B"SIDE,THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE!THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED AND WOULD LOOK FABULOUS FRAMED UP ON A WALL OF ANY BEATLES FAN!VERY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO WRITING,TEARS OR STAINING WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE"SOLD IN THE UK" TEXT+THE RAISED PRINT K T TAX CODE ON THE "B"SIDE LABEL.THE PUSH OUT CENTRE FULLY INTACT. THE DISC IS HOUSED IN A VERY CLEAN PARLOPHONE COMPANY COVER WITH THE EMI"GLOBE"LOGO IN ADDITION TO THE PARLOPHONE ONE WHICH WAS USED ON MOST PARLOPHONE COVERS THROUGHOUT 1965. JUST A FEW TINY CREASES-NO WRITING,NO REPAIRS AND NO STAINING!
