Acquire a beautifully presented slice of British pop heritage with this mid-seventies UK Parlophone reissue of The Beatles' landmark number-one smash, "I Want To Hold Your Hand". This particular 45 rpm copy was pressed as part of the highly popular 1976 Singles Collection 1962-1970 retrospective box set compilation, which allowed listeners to enjoy the band's complete catalogue of UK singles cut from the original analogue source tapes.

This specific mid-period variant displays the timeless silver-on-black Parlophone label design, carrying a fully intact, un-popped 4-pronged push-out centre. For serious vinyl archivists tracking precise lathe cuts and stampers, the runout grooves carry the stamped -3/-3 matrix path configuration (7XCE 17559-3 1 AO and 7XCE 17560-3 2 AM) in the dead wax. The record is housed in the distinctive green flipback card picture sleeve, complete with the famous colour group portrait on the reverse cover.

Lower the needle to experience the phenomenal B-side accompaniment, "This Boy", which remains celebrated by rock historians for its complex, close-harmony vocal delivery. Every vintage item in our online archive is evaluated using conservative grading rules. The original flipback card sleeve is rated Very Good Plus (VG+), remaining bright and solid with only tiny, faint spots of discolouration on the rear white panel. The vinyl disc sits at a superb Excellent (EX) grade, boasting incredibly clean, bright surfaces that showcase minimal evidence of previous play.

If you are looking to secure a well-preserved copy of this historical EMI milestone housed in its dedicated retro picture sleeve, this Parlophone R 5084 pressing is an excellent option. Add this timeless piece of 1970s analogue manufacturing to your personal archive.
