Notes/Reviews
Teldec contract pressing of the first German release ('center ring' near spindlehole, 'Manufactured in Germany' in runout area). Only disk 2 has been pressed by Teldec, disk 1 represents a regular EMI copy. There is another version with disc one AND two pressed by Teldec ( [url=http://www.discogs.com/Beatles-The-Beatles/release/7156362]This one[/url] ) First copies of this first pressing were delivered with the regular black inner sleeves, these later copies with striped white/red inners (see pics). As these copies appear frequently in exactly the same combination on the market (disk 1: EMI, disk 2: Teldec; red/white inners; 200.000+ number) they can not be regarded as manufacturing variations. Top opener & gatefold sleeve. Has raised title and seven digit individual copy number (beginning with '? ') in grey in lower right hand corner on front cover. "Thanks to George Martin/Chris Thomas/Ken Scott/Jeff Emerick/Barry Shefield/John Smith/Richard Hamilton/Gordon House/Jeremy Banks/John Kelly/Linda Eastman/Mal/Kevin and all at number 9" (lyrics sheet). '†© All lyrics copyright for the world by Northern Songs Ltd. England' (A7, B4, B6, C7, D3) '?© Apple Records' (all other songs) Eric Clapton on A7 is uncredited for contractual reasons.
