Description
Dive into the essence of classic rock with The Beatles' "Rarities" LP, a promotional release that has captivated vinyl enthusiasts and Beatles fans alike. With only 3,000 copies made worldwide, this vinyl compilation is a true gem for collectors. Released in 1978 by Capitol Records, it showcases the timeless appeal of the 1960s pop-rock legends. The black vinyl record spins at 33 RPM and is housed in a paper sleeve, reflecting the era's aesthetic. Its Very Good Plus (VG+) grading denotes quality preservation of both the record and its sleeve, ensuring an auditory experience that aligns with its storied past. "Rarities" is not just an album; it's a piece of music history etched into the annals of rock 'n' roll.
Beatles error compilation ironically entitled "Rarities" given that it probably exist as one of the rarest true US factory made LP's by the Beatles. Seldom seen, most have only read about it. This was issued in 1978 by Capitol Records w/17 tracks in the US BC 13 box sets limited to 3000 copies; because of the 2 mistakes! "She Loves You" & "I Want to Hold Your Hand" were the German version on the EU pressings. This was to denote their significance of the Hamburg venues early in their careers. The English renditions do not make this a "rarities" idea; but these "mistakes" make it a highly sought LP. The other rare aspect, this has the 1st American release of the original version of "Across the Universe" on a US pressed LP.
