Very Together (1969 Canadian First Pressing)
This 1969 Polydor release (242.008) is an original Canadian first pressing of the compilation Very Together. Produced by Polydor Records Canada Limited, this album is iconic for its "Paul is Dead" tribute cover, featuring the four candles with one extinguished.
The record contains the historic 1961 Hamburg recordings where the Beatles (including Pete Best) performed as the backing band for Tony Sheridan. This pressing is noted for its "Stereo Playable Mono" engineering, allowing the raw, early rock-and-roll energy of tracks like "Ain't She Sweet" and "My Bonnie" to be played on modern stereo systems. The lacquer for this Canadian release was cut at the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft plant, ensuring a much higher audio standard than later budget reissues of this material.
