From popsike.com, the following information:
“Rare 1978 US 17-track promo only compilation LP. The Rarities album was designed to complement the Beatles' original twelve albums by pulling together many of their single releases not available on British LPs. Unlike Capitol Records in America, British Parlophone rarely duplicated songs issued as singles on later albums.
The British "Rarities" (EMI/Parlophone PSLP 261), consists of seventeen tracks, including such obscure B-sides as The Inner Light and You Know My Name (Look Up The Number), along with the original version of Across The Universe and the first British release of Sie Liebt Dich and Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand (She Loves You and I Want To Hold Your Hand sung in German).
This U.S. "Rarities" (Capitol SPRO 8969), compiled in Los Angeles, contains two mistakes. For some unknown reason, “Sie Liebt Dich” and “Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand” were replaced with the not-too-rare English versions of “She Loves You” and “I Want To Hold Your Hand”. The album became a much sought-after collector's item not only because just 3,000 copies were pressed, but also because it contained the first American release of the original version of ‘Across The Universe”.
Also, it was mastered by famed engineer Wally Traugott ('Wally' is in the deadwax on both sides).” – Please see last pic and enlarge. You can see the etched“Wally” out beside the stamped “Capitol”.
Great collector item.
