20 Greatest Hits (1982 UK Parlophone First Pressing)
This 1982 UK Parlophone release (PCTC 260 / EMTV 4) is the original UK edition of the 20 Greatest Hits compilation. This pressing is identified by the black and silver labels with the "two-box" EMI logos and is historically significant as the last Beatles album released with different tracklists for the US and UK markets.
The UK version includes every Beatles song that reached number one on the UK Singles Chart (plus "Love Me Do," which hit #17). This specific pressing was manufactured in the UK by EMI Records Ltd. and features the original photo-collage inner sleeve. Unlike the US version, which focuses on Billboard #1s (including "Yesterday" and "Eight Days a Week"), this UK import provides the definitive British "Number One" experience, featuring "From Me to You" and "The Ballad of John and Yoko."
