Beatles - 1962-1966 (Red Special Release) - Doppel-LP (Album mit 2 LPs) - Farbiges Vinyl, Japanische Pressung - 1982

The Beatles ‎– 1962-1966 (Red Special Release)

Allan Steckler hired designer Tom Wilkes, who had previously worked for George Harrison, Neil Young and Eric Clapton, to design the albums.
Both album covers show a photo of the Beatles on the front, which they show in a comparable pose in the stairwell of their record company EMI. The pictures were taken six years apart. The front photo on the Red Album was taken on March 5, 1963 and came from the photo session for the cover of the first Beatles LP Please Please Me and is very similar to it.
The back photo was taken on May 13, 1969 and was originally intended for the album Get Back, which was ultimately released - with a different cover - as Let It Be. Both images are from the photographer Angus McBean.
The black and white photo on the inside was taken during the so-called “Mad Day Out” photo session on July 28, 1968 and is by the photographer Don McCullin.
It shows the Beatles amidst a group of random passers-by behind a fence near St. Pancras Old Church in London.

Japanese Press. OBI, Gatefold. Red Vinyl.

Red vinyl is a special variant of records that are usually transparent or slightly tinted and have a red color.
This type of vinyl is often used for limited edition or collector's edition records and is very popular among vinyl enthusiasts.
Japan is known for its love of audiophilia and has produced some notable red vinyl releases over the years.

Collectibles: Red vinyl is often used for records that are intended to be collectibles.
These special editions are usually limited and may be released by artists or record labels to attract the attention of collectors and fans.

The use of red vinyl not only serves a practical purpose but also has aesthetic reasons.
The deep red color gives the record a striking and unique look that stands out from traditionally black records.

The color of the vinyl has no influence on the sound quality of the record. The decisive criterion for the sound of a record is the quality of the vinyl material used and the care taken in the production of the record.
