Description

Sought-after 7˝ EMI one-sided acetate pressing of the Beatles' hit "She's a Woman," as heard on the mono 45 RPM single released on November 23, 1964. The acetate disc bears a black-and-white Emidisc label over a black-and-red Audiodiscs label, filled out in bold ballpoint: "She's a Woman, 45 r.p.m., The Beatles." The song's runtime is also annotated in pencil: "2:57."

The Beatles recorded "She's a Woman" in a single, five-hour session on October 8, 1964, at EMI Studios in London, completing it in seven takes plus overdubs. This acetate is the same as the released version (Take 6 with overdubs). It was released as the B-side to 'I Feel Fine' and charted in the United States, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and number eight on the Cash Box Top 100.

The disc is in VG+ overall condition, with light surface scratches and discoloration to the label. Accompanied by a high-fidelity digital transfer (.wav file) of the acetate's contents on a USB stick.


From the Mark Erbach Collection.
