Notes

This album is a compilation of tracks that were considered rare in the US at the time. B-sides and other tracks that hadn't been on any Capitol album, different mixes etc.

Also known for reproducing the infamous "butcher shot" for the first time since Yesterday & Today in 1966, on the inside gatefold.

There are 3 cover variations. This one is #1, pressed at Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Los Angeles:

#1
-The photo on the front is raised/embossed
-There is no George Martin producer credit on the back lower left corner
-Under "Helter Skelter" there is a text error that states "...so you don't hear the classic Lennon statement..."

#2
-Both the cover photo and the photos on the back are raised/embossed
-George Martin's producer credit is now on the lower left corner on the back
-Under "Helter Skelter" it now states "...so you don't hear the classic statement..."

#3
-Both the cover photos and the photos on the back are NOT raised/embossed
-George Martin's producer credit is present
-"Helter Skelter" states "...so you don't hear the classic statement..."

-Some copies came with a 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" hype sticker on the shrinkwrap stating "Contains Rare Photos Including "Butcher" shot" (see photo)
