Comments:

An early CD Bootleg From A now well respected label but what a bad start , the first three titles being incorrectly mastered. These Titles were a joint release on Yellow Dog & Sphinx Records and it has been suggested that the American East coast was covered by Yellow Dog and the West by Sphinx.

Several people refer to these mis-presses as Mono, which isn't strictly true with them being 1 channel in both tracks. The first three titles were reissued on Yellow Dog and I am unaware of any further Beatles releases on Sphinx Records.

Whilst the reissue as been repeatedly copied and cloned, not surprisingly I'm not aware of any copies of these three titles.
