DANISH BEATLES

In RC 329 in Diggin’ For Gold you featured the misprinted Danish sleeves with Waitin’ For You mysteriously listed on the 1964 Beatles EP (Odeon GEOS 225) which turned out to be the title of a track by The Fourmost. There is another connection between The Beatles and The Fourmost. In 1964 an EP was released called The Liverpool Sound on Odeon GEOS 210 (right). On one side is The Beatles with She Loves You and I’ll Get You and on the other side is The Fourmost with Hello Little Girl (McCartney-Lennon) and Just In Case. The record has the number 7TST-443-1 on The Beatles side and the number 7TST-444-1 on The Fourmost side stamped in the dead wax. The non-English words are in Danish on the record and in Swedish on the back of the sleeve. The ‘Made in Denmark’ is typed on both sides of the record. I purchased the EP in a local record shop in Copenhagen in 1964. Pete Nash comments that the error of Waitin’ For You never was rectified on any Danish EP or LP, but in fact it was. It appears on the back of many singles sleeves by The Beatles, but is corrected on the Danish 1967 release of All You Need Is Love/Baby, You’re A Rich Man on Parlophone R 5620 plus some later releases.
