Description

The Beatles / 1962 – 1966 (also known as “The Red Album”) is a compilation record of songs by The Beatles, spanning the years indicated in the title.

As with 1967–1970, this compilation was produced by Apple/EMI at least partially in response to a bootleg collection titled Alpha Omega, which had been sold on television the previous year. Print advertising for the two records made a point of declaring them “the only authorized collection of the Beatles.”

Original Label with custom red “Apple” disc labels, and “Mfd. by Apple” on disc label. Fold-out jacket. LP Apple SKBO 3403 1973 *****
