[l=Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Jacksonville] pressing denoted by "0" stamp in runouts. This pressing has Side A lacquer cut by [a=Gene Thompson] and Side B lacquer cut by [a=Ed Sanders (2)]. Issued with custom photo collage inner sleeve and 22" x 33" foldout poster with band photos on the front and song lyrics on the reverse. This album is a compilation of tracks that were considered rare in the US at the time. B-sides and other tracks that hadn't been on any Capitol album, different mixes etc. Also known for reproducing the infamous "butcher shot" for the first time since Yesterday & Today in 1966, on the inside gatefold. There are 3 cover variations. This one is #1: #1 -The photo on the front is raised/embossed -There is no George Martin producer credit on the back lower left corner -Under "Helter Skelter" a text error states "...so you don't hear the classic Lennon statement...", and for "There's A Place" incorrectly states this was the first time in stereo on a US album. #2 -Both the cover photo and the photos on the back are raised/embossed -George Martin's producer credit is now on the lower left corner on the back -Under "Helter Skelter" it now states "...so you don't hear the classic statement..." and the stereo statement from "There's a Place" removed. #3 -Both the cover photos and the photos on the back are NOT raised/embossed. -George Martin's producer credit is present -"Helter Skelter" states "...so you don't hear the classic statement..." and the stereo statement from "There's a Place" removed. -Some copies came with a 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" hype sticker on the shrinkwrap stating "Contains Rare Photos Including "Butcher" shot" (see photo) -Some pressings are translucent vinyl (hold up to a bright light and you can see through it) A1 - Mono British single, with Ringo Starr on drums A2 - Stereo.
