The Beatles 20 Years Ago Special Edition Picture Disc Vinyl Live At Palais Des Sports Paris 1965 Appraisal

The Beatles "20 Years Ago" Special Edition Picture Disc Vinyl - Live at Palais des Sports, Paris 1965

This item is a circular picture disc vinyl, predominantly in shades of pink or light reddish-brown, featuring various graphical and textual elements. It appears to be a special edition release commemorating the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution (1789-1989), as indicated by the prominent text "Edition sp‡ciale 1789-1989 200 ans Revolution Fran‡aise" in a dark blue font on the left side of the disc. The main title of the record is "BEATLES" in large, light blue block letters, angled upwards from right to left, with an illustration of the Eiffel Tower integrated below the 'T' in 'BEATLES'. Directly above the band's name, there's text in smaller light blue font that reads "IT WAS MORE THAN" followed by a bold red '20' and "YEARS AGO", suggesting a retrospective or anniversary release related to the band. The disc details a live performance, stating "RECORDED LIVE AT PALAIS DES SPORTS PARIS - JUNE 20, 1965" with 'AFTERNOON CONCERT' and 'EVENING CONCERT' listed beneath, likely indicating two separate sets or performances. There are track lists for 'Side A' and 'Side B', though the individual song titles are too small and blurry to decipher clearly from the provided image. A small 'MADER' logo or company name is visible near the bottom center. The disc has a standard black outer rim, consistent with vinyl records. The visible condition appears good, with no obvious major scratches or gouges discernible, although a full assessment would require a clearer, higher-resolution image. The overall aesthetic suggests a collectible item, combining musical history with a significant historical commemoration.
