Interesting to see the cover-layout from the US-issue with the little picture of the first Capitol-LP album by The Beatles.
Is that not an Export-edition, but an Army-issue for the US-Soldiers in Germany in those days ? Is that true, that it had been sold in the so called PX-shops or in the UK NAAFI-shops, too.
In the past on several record-fairs, some so called experts said, that those two ZTOX-releases also used to be as export-editions for Switzerland. Is that information not true ??
