NOTES

The first trace of this acetate I can locate is in 2022, and is the fourth 'hand written' labeled 7" issue we now have, unfortunately there is no provenance.

The label has been inscribed with two names, one with a fibre tip and 'The Beatles' seems to be in a different hand than the title. The title however seems to match the that of the Louise Harrison disc.

The Emidisc disc seems to be from the same batch as the alternate cut #3 and of a cut of I Should Have Known Better, hence the query that this may be a cut of the RS1 rather than the standard mono mix.

RARE !! 7 Inch Beatles Acetate - Can't Buy Me Love - EMI Disc.
An extremely rare and collectible Beatles Acetate - 7inch (45rpm) Can't Buy Me Love

The title and artist are written on label in pencil.
Single Sided Acetate. There is the name also written on label and some pen mark under EMI Disc at top of label.
The acetate plays fantastically - there are no major skips, pops or crackles and it plays great and strong through the whole track. There are some light superficial scuffs and marks (particularly on smooth side of the acetate)
