"A HARD DAY'S NIGHT"
'SPECIAL BEATLES HALF HOUR OPEN END INTERVIEW'
PROMOTIONAL RADIO STATION LP ALBUM
COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL 12-PAGE SCRIPT
(UA SP-2359/2360), ISSUED JULY 1964FAB 4
COLLECTIBLES MOST PROUDLY OFFERS THE VINTAGE AND
ULTRA RARE UNITED ARTISTS BEATLES ' OPEN-END '
INTERVIEW ALBUM, COMPLETE WITH THE ACCOMPANYING
AND ORIGINAL 12-PAGE SCRIPT (NOT A COPY). THIS
EXAMPLE IS THE BEST THAT HAS SURFACED TO DATE,
AND MOST OF THOSE THAT ARE OUT THERE HAVE
PHOTOCOPIES OF THE SCRIPT, AND NOT the ORIGINAL
ISSUED EXAMPLE.
THESE RECORDS ARE EXTREMELY RARE FOR
TWO REASONS. FIRST, THEY WERE PRESSED IN VERY LIMITED NUMBERS AND DISTRIBUTED
ONLY TO SELECT RADIO STATIONS AND MOVIE THEATRES. SECOND, BECAUSE THE RECORDS
WERE SOLELY INTENDED TO PROMOTE THE MOTION PICTURE, MOST DISC JOCKEYS AND
THEATRE MANAGERS DID NOT SAVE THESE UNIQUE RECORDS AFTER THE FILM HAD RUN ITS
COURSE.
CONDITION : (RECORD) NM- (VG+++) / (SCRIPT) NM-

REASON IS BECAUSE THE RECORDS WERE SOLELY INTENDED TO PROMOTE THE MOTION
PICTURE, MOST DISC JOCKEYS DID NOT SAVE THESE RECORDS AFTER THE FILM HAD RUN ITS
COURSE. LASTLY, THIS IS THE ONLY ORIGINALLY RELEASED BEATLES ALBUM THAT WAS
PRODUCED AS A PROMOTIONAL "NOT FOR SALE" LABEL, FOR VEE-JAY OR CAPITOL RECORDS
