BEATLES

1963 swirl label original 45 with "Walter Hofer" publishing credit on "B" label. Includes mega-rare promo only picture sleeve which has "WMCA Good Guys" (disc jockeys) pictured on the back. Only 1000 of these sleeves were printed for a 1964 "Beatle Wig-Art" radio contest. This is the rarest US Beatles picture sleeve.

This sleeve is in great condition, although it has had some blue ink writing carefully erased on the WMCA side, above the photo. It is now almost undetectable. Also, it does NOT have the 1/4" long crescent moon-shaped indentation/break on the WMCA side, which apparently almost all known copies of this sleeve have (likely a factory flaw).

Also included with this sleeve is a super rare 8.5" x 11" letter from WMCA, dated January 27th, 1964, which was originally enclosed with the sleeve in the package received by the contest winner. Only TWO copies of this letter are currently known to exist! It is in nice condition, but folded in quarters, as issued. Together as a package, this is one of the rarest Beatles items that exist!.
