Description

UK double-sided test pressing for the canceled and unreleased George Harrison single ‘Dark Horse / I Don’t Care Anymore,’ which was due to be released on the Apple label in late 1974 with the catalogue number ‘R 6001.’ The white labels to either side are marked in ballpoint: “George Harrison, Dark Horse, Apple R 6001” and “George Harrison, I Don’t Care Anymore, Unissued, Apple R 6001.” The disc bears the matrix numbers “7YCE 21755 - 1U” and “7YCE 21756 - 1U,” with “G” stampers. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks, an Apple Records sleeve for the ‘Dark Horse’ single, and two internal EMI New Singles letters, one dated November 22, 1974, stating that the single was due to be released on November 29, 1974, and the other dated November 29, 1974, stating that the single had been canceled and suspended until further notice. The catalogue number ‘R 6001’ was subsequently used for the George Harrison single ‘Dark Horse / Hari’s On Tour,’ which was released on February 28, 1975.
