Description

Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.

All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.

THE BEATLES
With The Beatles

Original 1963 Mono Pressing in Great Condition!

On offer here is an original 1963 UK Parlophone copy of the Beatles LP 'With The Beatles'. This is the original mono pressing.

The LP was released right at the height of Beatlemania and had advance orders of over 500,000 and shot straight to number 1 on its release (knocking Please Please Me off the top spot) staying there for 21 weeks!

Because of this, it is very easy to find original copies of With The Beatles. However, the vast, vast number of copies that original sold were bought by fans who played their copies of the album to death. Constant replays and damage from excessive use means that if you do find a copy of this album then it's usually pretty trashed and well played. It is extremely difficult to find an original 1963 copy of this album in a decent condition.

Which is why I am offering this beautiful copy for sale. It is so, so difficult to find the original records in this wonderful condition! Just check out the description and the photos out below. You just never find copies as clean as this today!

Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

The sleeve is holding up perfectly with no real damage to speak of. There's minimal wear and, overall, looks very solid. The cover has browned a little though as you can see in the photos below, which is what's brought the grading down a little. Inner Sleeve Condition The inner sleeve is in EX- condition. The original Emitex plastic-lined inner sleeve is included. THe sleeve is looking solid with no damage. The top just looks slightly worn. There're no splits or tears and the bag is still stuck tightly inside. There's just minimal creasing and a little disc impression. Nice! Inserts Condition - Disc Condition
(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in EX condition. The playing surface has a wonderful, sharp shine to it and a beautiful clean appearence. There's just some light, faint scuffing here and there. Beautiful condition! So rare to find original discs looking like this! Label Condition The labels are in EX+/NM- condition. The labels are wonderfully clean and look awesome with bright, shiny silver print and no stickers, marks, writing, tears etc of any kind. There's just a very small, faint amount of spindlewear and a touch of whitening around the centrehole.

My Regarding Vinyl Grading:

MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
