Beatlemania: rare variation with missing band.

Copies of the Beatlemania (on the black rainbow label without "Canada" in brackets) issued in early 1966 and with a side 2 matrix of XEX 448-5 do not have a "band" between the last two tracks. To the eye it looks like there are only six tracks when it actually has seven. There there is no visual separation between track 6 and 7.

After the 1970 issue of Beatlemania on the green target label the unbanded album is the second rarest variation of this L.P.

Few copies come up for sale. In 2015 a copy in excellent condition sold for $123 and a VG/VG+ copy sold for $70.
