An essential mid-seventies reissue of the iconic cinematic title track, this British-made seven-inch single offers an exceptional audio experience for any serious fan of the Liverpool lads. Famously acting as the high-energy introduction to their milestone debut feature film soundtrack, this particular variant presents the classic black and silver Parlophone label scheme complete with a traditional four-pronged push-out centre. Part of the highly celebrated The Singles Collection 1962-1970 box set rollout, it serves as a fantastic archival representation of EMI's mid-decade manufacturing peak, keeping the group's early chart-toppers readily accessible to a new generation of collectors.

What makes this specific copy particularly intriguing to matrix variant hunters is the presence of the legendary -1N/-1N stampers paired with unique factory mother and stamper letters in the dead wax (7XCE 17714-1N KT 10 10 OP on Side A and 7XCE 17715-1N KT 17 MO on Side B). The disc comes neatly presented inside its beautiful green card flipback picture sleeve, featuring the historic portrait of the quartet on the reverse cover. Over on the flip side, listeners can enjoy the brilliant, moody minor-key masterpiece "Things We Said Today".

We subject all our vinyl to meticulous visual inspection under bright grading lamps. The wax is graded as Excellent (EX), remaining wonderfully clean, smooth, and gleaming with pristine sound reproduction qualities. The accompanying card picture sleeve sits at a Very Good (VG) grade; it is mechanically firm with solid edges, though the rear white background shows a few, natural spots of age-related foxing.
