There's still time today to get pre-bids in on some rare Beatles foreign records in tomorrow's Heritage Music & Entertainment Auction (Friday, November 6th). Sample items: 1) Lot: 49319 - Les Beatles EP Group (France - Polydor 21914, 1963). Nice copies of the first two French pressings of the Les Beatles EP, which featured the songs "My Bonnie", "When the Saints Go Marching In", "Cry For a Shadow", and "Why". Condition: First pressing - NM 8/ EX 7; second pressing - VG-EX 6 (back cover repair)/ EX 7. Opening bid: $250 entertainment.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7011&Lot_No=49319 2) Lot: 49321 - Les Beatles Mono LP (France - Odeon 222, 1964). Orange label copy of the Fab Four's first French release, the selections of which mirrored the second UK album With the Beatles. Interesting bios of the boys on the back cover, especially si vous parlez le français! The relatively flimsy cardboard used for this and many other foreign editions of Beatles albums resulted in fewer copies enduring the ensuing decades in as nice of condition as this one. Opening bid: $250 entertainment.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7011&Lot_No=49321 3) Lot: 49322 - Los Beatles Mono LP (Argentina - Odeon 55506, 1965). Love the covers on the Beatles' foreign releases! The Argentina release featured selections that had been featured on US albums in 1964 and 1965. There is some soiling on the back cover, but the front presents very nice, and the vinyl has been played very little. Condition: EX 7/ NM 8. Opening bid: $250 entertainment.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7011&Lot_No=49322 4) Lot: 49332 - The Beatles Dutch Book Club Stereo LP (Holland - Parlophone 1013, early 1970s). Quite an eclectic mix on this Dutch book club release from the early 1970s. The offering included 16 (bargain!) selections from 1964-66, from eight different albums (US versions) -- from Meet the Beatles to Revolver. This unique and rare cover photo is an outtake from the "Penny Lane" promo filming session. Condition: VG-EX 6/ VG-EX 6. Opening bid: $250 entertainment.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7011&Lot_No=49332 ---------------------- If you have any challenges using the links above, you can simply enter in the lot number for each item (shown above) at Heritage Auctions' main web page: www.ha.com
