Cassette insert (unfolded) for Only the Beatles...

Only The Beatles... is an unauthorized Beatles compilation album released in 1987 in audiocassette format, as a joint promotional campaign by Heineken Beer[1] and EMI;[2] consumers could obtain a copy of the album in exchange for four pull tabs from specially marked cans[3] and £2.99.[4]

The promotion began on 1 July. After 17 days, Apple Records' legal representation intervened.[5] Production and distribution were halted, and the album became a collector's item.
