The Beatles
Teldec contract pressing of the first German release ('center ring' near spindlehole, 'Manufactured in Germany' in runout area). Only disk 2 has been pressed by Teldec, disk 1 represents a regular EMI copy. There is another version with disc one AND two pressed by Teldec ( [url=http://www.discogs.com/Beatles-The-Beatles/release/7156362]This one[/url] )
First copies of the first pressing were delivered with the regular black inner sleeves. Some copies came with striped white/red inners (see pics).
As these copies appear frequently in exactly the same combination on the market (disk 1: EMI, disk 2: Teldec; red/white inners; 200.000+ number) they can not be regarded as manufacturing variations.
