Description

Dawn of the Silver Beatles LP — 1981 PAC Records UDL 2333, No. 000811

Offered here is Dawn of the Silver Beatles, a 1981 limited-edition LP from PAC Records (catalog no. UDL 2333), spotlighting The Beatles’ legendary 1962 Decca audition recordings. Featuring the early lineup of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and original drummer Pete Best, this compilation presents 12 tracks—both Lennon-McCartney originals and iconic covers—that capture the raw energy and vocal harmonies that first defined the group’s sound.

Included are Like Dreamers Do, Love of the Loved, and Crying, Waiting, Hoping, plus renditions of Money, Till There Was You, and Three Cool Cats. These sessions famously failed to earn the band a contract with Decca but are now seen as a pivotal moment in music history.

This edition features vivid artwork by D’Frunz, with a stylized metallic beetle against a black background, and is hand-stamped No. 000811 on both the sleeve and record labels—identifying its limited release. Long prized by collectors, this pressing offers a rare opportunity to own a clean presentation of The Beatles before Beatlemania began.


Condition:
In excellent condition. The vinyl appears near-mint with no visible wear or scratches. The jacket retains vibrant artwork with minimal handling wear and is numbered 000811. Original printed inner sleeve is present and clean, with only a minor tear near the center hole. A collector-grade copy.


Size:
Standard 12-inch LP
