On an earlier thread about the many label variations on the South Africa LPs, somebody attached a photo of a South Africa EP with an export/import sticker used by Baily, the EMI licensee in Mozambique.

I couldn't believe it, but there is was.

Here's the link to the earlier thread, the photo of the stickered EP is at the bottom of page 2.

Servi's comment: "This export route may have been an exception given the rarity of these and the fact you never see them on an LP."

UNTIL NOW!!!! BWAHAHAHA!!!

Here is the rear sleeve of a copy of Big Beat Of The Beatles:

What's that in the lower left corner?

Yes, it's mostly missing because somebody had the unfortunate idea of trying to remove it, but there is zero doubt that this is a fragment of the same Baily export/import sticker shown on the EP in the other thread.

So, we can now say, without qualification, that at least one Beatles LP was exported from South Africa to Mozambique in 1964 or 1965.

Pretty cool, if I do say so myself.
