A German unique
compilation, is a true rarity, its third edition was pressed
in low numbers only, moreover, with a Columbia Label, an
error record was reserved to the domestic market, it was
published by EMI/Electrola, as one can read on the cover,
too. It's a Club-Sonderauflage, which translates to "Book Club Special Edition". The World's Best ended a huge series of compilations made for and released in Germany, it's the last unique title on the market, first released in December 1967, along with three other compilations, namely "The Beatles" (Orange Odeon Impressum 6279), "The Beatles" (Red Odeon "Deutscher Schallplattenclub" H 052), and "The Beatles Great Hits" (Light Blue Fono-Ring SFGLP 77939) - all the four released in December 1967. Housed in a fully laminated German-printed cover. The printer's name "Druckhaus Maack KG, Lüdenscheid (*)" was printed at the right of the back cover. "All My Loving" includes five taps a hi-hat just prior to beginning of the recording. "The World's Best" album variations.
The company was sold in October 2000 to the TOPAC Multimedia Print GmbH, a subsidiary of the Bertelsmann Group. |
