 The Beatles RARE RED LABEL PURPLE TARGET Yesterday And Today USA PRESSING

xample ofOffered is an extremely rare issue of The Beatles "Yesterday"...And Today". This is the Red labels with the Purple target variation. This is a U.S. pressing. Before my listing there has been only one documented issue of this very scarce variation to surface since 1971! The following is the background of this mysterious pressing as I know it: 


In May of 1971 Capitol Records began issuing albums on the newly designed Red label variation. The first two Beatles albums Capitol received pressing orders for were "Revolver" and "Yesterday"...And Today". Almost immediately the pressing of these two albums abruptly ended when Apple Records announced that they were going to re-issue all Beatles albums on their label. At that point there were an unknown number of "Revolver" pressed and probably only about 100 of Y&T pressed.  The actual pressing numbers for these two albums is still a mystery to this day! 

What IS known is that in May of 1971 Capitol Records unintentionally created an extreme rarity by halting the pressing of "Yesterday"... And Today" in mere double digit numbers.

The first documented copy of this Y&T gem was discovered in 2006 and is listed in Frank Daniels and Perry Cox' Price Guide, published by Bruce Spizer. Amazingly,this happened 35 years after the pressing date!
