You’re missing one of the East German releases, so there must have been at least 4 LPs.
It’s Amiga Stereo 8 55 742 – a version of 1967-1970 on one LP (14 tracks).
If you want a track listing and/or a scan of the cover, just contact me.
Thanks Mikkel. The discographies generally go no further than 1970 (otherwise it becomes an endless task), so this compilation wouldn’t feature.
I have a with the beatles CD released in West germany, only 100 made, in a rosewood case can anyone tell me anythhing about this, I also have A hard days night in same kind of case, but made in england

Hi! In my youth back around 1970 I had a Beatles-abum which I cannot remember what was named. The only thing I for sure remember is that this album was somewhat strange, cause it had both all the songs from the Hamburg-period + the first Parlophone-singles, mixed together on both sides, Both Please please me, I want to hold Your hand, From me to you and Thank you girl were present on the record inbetween Ain’t she sweet, Take out som einsurence…and all those others.
I can vaguely remember that the label was kind of Orange and white, as the German bargainlabel- “Europa”, but cannot remember how the cover looked like, not even colours. But I believe that the album probably was a german release. Do you have any idea of this strange album combining borht Polydor and EMI-songs???
Hope you can give me a reply to this 😉
Cheers from Norway
Johnny
I’ve just bought a DDR reissue in the market by the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. A mix of Polydor and EMI tracks as you described. On the Amiga label with sleeve notes by Peter Wicke. Cover has Ringo banging a military drum, Paul with bagpipes etc. It’s just called The Beatles.

Hi have a german test pressing with 66 release date revolver do you know much about these i have this in storage so i dont have it with me
You do not mention « The Beatles’ First » LP, the Polydor compilation of all the Hamburg recordings (+four other Sheridan songs). I’m trying to find the release date. All I can find is April ’64. Any Idea ?
Isn’t the cover for Skinny Minny the 1978 release ?
