FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The compilation was first released in 1965. This is a 1975 Dutch reissue on Parlophone with the same catalogue number OMHS 3001, here on gold vinyl.

Why was Beatles' Greatest not released in the UK?
The compilation was made for the continental European market (first Germany, then the Netherlands) and was not an official British LP. It combines singles and album tracks that do not appear together on any regular Beatles album.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
Record: NM- (Near Mint minus) means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. Sleeve: VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that barely affect playback or the overall impression. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more Beatles records?
Yes, for example The Beatles – Beatles' Greatest (NL 1969, black vinyl), The Beatles (White Album) and The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl.
