Rarity & Collectibility

• This LP sits at the crossroads of Beatles collectability and UK modern jazz — both strong collector markets.

• The combination of Eddie Kramer’s involvement, Steve Race liner notes, and the unusual jazz reinterpretations makes this more than just a Beatles “covers” album; it’s considered an artistic reinterpretation.

• First pressings with A//1 and B//1 matrices are significantly scarcer than later cuts.

This is a UK Polydor first pressing (1967) of The London Jazz Four – Take A New Look At The Beatles, confirmed by A//1 and B//1 matrix numbers. This is the earliest and most collectible version of this scarce Beatles-related jazz LP. With its crossover appeal to both Beatles collectors and jazz aficionados, it stands as a highly desirable and historically significant record.
