Comments:

The Renaissance Records were very much titles related to Ken D., it appears that Dub dropped the titles, when to the two split'. Leaving the volume 1 as one of the harder Beatles TMQ titles to locate, available in several coloured vinyl pressings with the ringed number label. There are two slick variants, and whilst some sources reported a catalogue numbered copy I have yet to see one.

Whilst 'farm pig' labeled copies exist they have been pressed from stampers carrying Ken's matrices and appear without stamped sleeves.

Tsuneo Matsumoto's 1985 Beatles Bootleg Encyclopedia identifies sleeves with silver or gold square foil stickers, but I have not seen any copies, and wonder if any were produced with the title having being removed from the post split catalogues.
