An alleged direct clone of the original German Digipak, which was supposedly limited to only 500. The original silver coloured disc or even teh red reissues are definitely harder to locate than this fake/reissue which I am sure has now had at least two pressings.
If you have a latter issue with an alternate disc scan please drop me a line, if yo ucan not view the matrix the spacing between 'Bonus Tracks' and 'THE BEATLES' is a good guide to which version you are looking.
An early German Digipak of commonly available material themed around ' A Hard Day's Night. The cover sleeve is of an Original German Sleeve. An idea which was latter to be copied by the Pear records .
The Sleeve notes say that this is a very limited release of only 500 units , whilst this is unlikely it is apparent that the first pressing is considerably harder to find than that of the latter issue which is probably a FAKE from a competitor. Both versions list the Catalogue number as SMO 87739 on the cover in error.
The two variations can easily be distinguished by the colour of the disc art , silver or white , the matrix style and even the fold types of the digipaks.
The disc contents contain nothing new either Now or then but became more popular after receiving a 'thumb's up' from the 910 guide to The Beatles Takes and Outtakes. What we have is a Stereo version of the UK A Hard Day's Night and a handful of bonus tracks lifted from the Official Anthology Volume 1 or common other bootlegs.
