1990 "HELP OPEN-END INTERVIEW 45! THIS IS THE VERY RARE TEST PRESSING VERSION OF THIS 45! THIS IS MY LAST ONE AVAILABLE!

THIS IS A VERY RARE BEATLES HELP OPEN-END TRANSATLANTIC PHONE INTERVIEW FROM 1965! THIS RARE "TEST PRESSING" VERSION OF THE RECORD WAS PRESSED IN 1990 AS AN EXCLUSIVE PROMOTION FOR THE BOOK, "THE BEATLES PRICE GUIDE FOR AMERICAN RECORDS". (Cox-Lindsay, 1990). IT'S ONE OF ONLY 6 TEST PRESSINGS MADE FOR THIS TITLE! (NORMAL ISSUES ARE ON CUSTOM SILVER LABELS.) IN MY OWN HUMBLE OPINION, I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING PICTURE SLEEVES MADE! CHECK IT OUT! NICE GLOSSY PAPER STOCK WITH A GREAT GROUP PIC ON THE FRONT! THE 33 1/3rpm RECORD IS PRESSED ON QUALITY VINYL. ALSO INCLUDED IS A SCRIPT OF THE QUESTIONS DESIGNED TO BE READ BY THE DJ BACK THEN. THE ORIGINAL MATERIAL WAS CONDUCTED AND PREPARED BY WFUN RADIO. THIS INTERVIEW IS A 9:35 DISCUSSION WITH THE BEATLES ABOUT THEIR THEN, NEW MOVIE "HELP!". THE ACTUAL TITLE OF THE RECORD IS "THE BEATLES HELP OPEN-END INTERVIEW 65" (Cicadelic/Biodisc 002). THIS MATERIAL HAS NEVER BEEN RELEASED EXCEPT FOR THIS RECORD AS FAR AS I KNOW. SO CHECK OUT THE PICTURE OF THIS GREAT ITEM AND ENJOY! CONDITION ON BOTH THE RECORD, INSERT AND SLEEVE IS BRAND NEW NEAR MINT! (Note: When playing the record, all you will hear is the answers by The Beatles... the questions are on the provided script. That is what an "open-end" interview is! ....it is designed to use your voice as the interviewer and give the appearance the Beatles were interviewed by the local DJ!!..) (Note: The standard NON Test Press issues had silver labels with black print. There were about 2000 of the regular issue made. This listing is for the ultra rare TEST PRESSING version of which there were only 6 made. The standard version is not included here.) Check out the picture(s) and enjoy!
