PS353	And I Love Her b/w Ringo's Theme (This Boy) GEORGE MARTIN and HIS ORCHESTRA United Artists UA-745, 1964 PICTURE SLEEVE Although United Artists was not allowed to issue Beatles songs from the soundtrack LP in the singles format, the label did release the four George Martin instrumentals on 45s. The first single pulled from the album was (UA745), and UA prepared a terrific picture sleeve for the record. The front of the sleeve is similar to the front cover of the soundtrack LP. It has the same four pictures of the boys and a red backround area at the top of with text and graphics in black and white. *(ACTUAL SCANS OF SLEEVE) :* The back of the sleeve features nine of the fifteen black and white photos from the back of the album : The first UA picture sleeve known as the "Red" Sleeve, (like it's "Airport Blue" counterpart UA750, see below) is notoriously known for it's susceptibility to ringwear. This example is a gorgeous Near Mint, with only three spots of very light rubbing : one on John's head on the front side, and two even lighter rubs on the back. NO ringwear whatsoever, and all the edges remain sharp and straight. No splits or tears !! The white borders are crisp, and un-faded.	NM	$750
S240	And I Love Her b/w Ringo's Theme (This Boy) GEORGE MARTIN and HIS ORCHESTRA United Artists UA-745, 1964, OSC Black Label with Silver print. Nice shiny VG++ vinyl with VG+ labels.	VG ++	$100 *SOLD*
PS352	A Hard Day's Night b/w I Should Have Known Better GEORGE MARTIN AND HIS ORCHESTRA United Artists UA-750, 1964 PICTURE SLEEVE Although United Artists was not allowed to issue Beatles songs from the soundtrack LP in the singles format, the label did release the four George Martin instrumentals on 45s. The second George Martin single (UA750) is one of the RARER Beatles sleeves available, for it's low numbers are due to United Artist's very Limited Press run, and very few of the 45s were issued in this very attractive picture sleeve. The front of the sleeve features a black and white picture of the group with a vibrant blue backround rectangular box at the top. The text, graphics and layout of the striking blue upper portion of the sleeve is similar to that of the Red upper sleeve of the first United Artists Beatles single, UA745. Due to the colors utilized of the UA750 sleeve, these are notorious for wear, and usually found in horrendous condition. Yet this one being offered is a most superb example of the "Airport Sleeve" (as it is known among Collectors) and is truly a final upgrade. (ACTUAL SCANS OF SLEEVE) : The back of the sleeve has a black and white photograph standing with George Martin. The condition of the sleeve is a most wonderful Near Mint Minus The original sheen of the sleeve radiates and the bright blue portion is stunning. The photo sections on both sides are crystal clear. It is a beauty and just short of grading a Near Mint. Only three signs of wear are the following : a "barely perceptible touch" of wear to the center of the front side, a bit of rubbing above the "S" and "H" of "SHOULD" at the top edge of the front side, and finally, a hint of ringwear to the center of the back photo. All the edges remain sharp and straight and there are no splits or tears. The white borders are a crisp, and un-faded. Finding an "Airport Sleeve" in the condition offered here is a real accomplishment - and would be a great addition to the serious Beatles Record Collection.	NM -	$2850
