Notes

Repress of this compilation, original matrix numbers, with red/white/gold labels and second style label design (rounded type '33' rpm indicator in circle at the bottom of the labels), with new rim text ('Urheber- und Leistungsrechte...') and with second SMO catalogue number.

This 1966 variant:
-White/gold/red label design,
-"Big" N° 1 and 2 on both label sides,
-Label A with the tracks in 8 Lines, NOT in 7 lines, track listing on side 2 is arranged in a column.
-Track A2 correctly spelt "Twist And Shout",
-Copyright text/rim text beginning with "Urheber..." and not as the 65' version with "Alle...".
-"YBEX-matrix" appears under GEMA box and not under catalog #.

JACKET DETAILS:
On the front left upper corner, logos are in a green frame with Odeon above the EMI logo. Later pressings were the reverse and in black and white.

AUDIOPHILE NOTES:
-She Loves You A7 is fake stereo
-I Feel Fine B1 is fake stereo and, like the version from Beatles '65 in the US, heavily reverbed.
-All My Loving B8 has the hi-hat intro.
