Re: - Iranian singles

Did Iran get master tapes? The singles appear on various, otherwise unheard of labels. It seems unlikely that EMI would license their songs willy-nilly. Does anyone know the truth?

None of the Beatles records made in Iran were licensed. Nonetheless, there is a fair amount of collector interest in them.

The two LPs, Let It Be and Abbey Road ("Abby Road" on the front sleeve) are prized and usually command serious money.

The EPs that have only Beatles tracks and photos of the Beatles on the sleeve (made by Top 4) are also heavily collected. They are not as rare as the LPs because the EP format was the most popular in Iran. There were two double EPs in a thin paper gatefold sleeve that are highly sought, one with tracks from Sgt. Pepper, one with tracks from the White Album.

There were also many EPs and a few singles with tracks from the Beatles and other western artists, rock and otherwise.

Samuel Coomans's web site is the best resource I've seen for the Iran EPs and singles.
