**MINT** BEATLES SWAN S-4152-S WHITE LABEL DJ PROMO 'SHE LOVES YOU' 1964 WITH FACTORY PRINTED 'X' AND ULTRA RARE SWAN RECORD MAILER !!
Here is your once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Beatles history few can say they have in their collection, and none as Mint, and as this stunning treasure. Swan White Label DJ Promotional Copies, like this are considered the Holy Grail by collectors, across the globe. Few have ever seen one this stunning !! One of the rarest Beatles 45 ever pressed !
The Swan record mailer has just recently been unearthed. Both have been procured from the Walter Gates estate.
This insanely rare SWAN MONO DJ PROMO 'X' appears to have rarely or never had a needle on it for 60 years !!.
It is one of the most stunning Swan 'X' Promo that has existed. It has been untouched for 60 years. Hard to believe!
The labels are absolutely impeccable, with NO writing, NO fading, NO stickers, NO rips/tears and NO names written.
It was kept in Walter Gates possession for 60 years and most likely came straight from the pressing plant right into his home, never to be touched again. I've never seen any Beatles record of this magnitude. It's absolutely Mint stunning !!
This incredible treasure should be in museum due to it's limited pressing, incredible past, and unprecedented condition.
The SWAN record mailer has never been discovered until recently and needless to say, is rarely seen for sale, till now.
It has been stored for OVER 60 YEARS, and is STUNNING. Never ever used. There are NO splits and NO addresses/names.
Theses record mailers were used by Swan to send the promotional copies to DJs across the country to gain major air time.
The promotional single has black print with
"PROMOTION COPY" to the right of the center hole on both
sides and a large "X" (printed to simulate hand writing) in
the lower left corner of the A side. The X was so the DJ could immediately identify the A side.

The History of Swan Records:
Swan records was founded in 1957 in Philadelphia Pa., and remained in business for 10 years. Swan Records is probably best known for releasing The Beatles'
"She Loves You" in the United States. The label was co-owned by Bernie
Binnick and Tony Mammarella, and featured production talents such as Frank Slay and Bob Crewe, along with Walter Gates, but it was Binnick who secured the American
rights to this song during a summer vacation in England.
Swan Records original address was 1405 Locust St in Philadelphia in 1960. Legendary icon Dick Clark helped them with promotions, with many of their artists, much before Beatlemania, but then the Payola scandal hit and Clarks involvement with the company had to be terminated. In 1962 Swan moved to 1703 Jackson Street. By 1963 they moved to their last offices, located at the northwest corner of 8th and Fitzwater Streets, in Philadelphia. Swan closed its
doors in 1967.
