The German Democratic
Republic issued 3 singles by the Beatles, one in 1964 and
two in 1965, the first two of those with Sheridan material,
the last one with EMI-period songs. They came in standardised picture sleeves that differ only in the pram colour and were all brought out on the old-style red and white Amiga label. VEB Detsche Schallplatten Berlin is a record label in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), founded on February 3, 1947. From 1946 to 1989, Deutsche Schallplatten Berlin was the only state-run music publisher and record manufacturer in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). Amiga is a popular music record label in Germany. Once an organ of the East German state-owned music publisher VEB Deutsche Schallplatten, Amiga became a label of the Bertelsmann Music Group in 1994. In 1947, actor and singer Ernst Busch got permission from the Soviet Military Administration in Germany to create a music publishing house, which was named Lied der Zeit GmbH ("Song of the Times"). This publishing company included the label Amiga. In the 1950s, Lied der Zeit became VEB Deutsche Schallplatten ("German Records"), a state-owned company with a monopoly on record production. VEB Deutsche Schallplatten had a number of labels, each with a different purview; Amiga releases included folk, jazz, pop, rock, Schlager music, chanson, and children's music. After the dissolution of the German Democratic Republic, most of the former East German public state enterprises were dismantled or sold to private investors. The Amiga label and catalog were acquired by Bertelsmann Music Group in 1994, which in turn was dissolved into Sony Music Entertainment in 2008.
