This auction is for an original pressing of the Beatles LP 'With the Beatles' on the UK Parlophone number.
This is the extremely rare and highly collecting DECCA contract pressing!
When this album was released the demand for it was so high that EMI could not keep up. Because of this, EMI subcontracted other labels to run off a very small, limited number of copies to help keep on top of things.
This particular pressing of With the Beatles was manufactured by Decca Records and this is easy to spot due to the prominent Decca ridge on the label.
The number of copies pressed by Decca only amounted to a very small percentage of overall copies produced and are very hard to find!

The cover is holding up okay with some light, general wear and tear. The front is clean with just a little dirt build up on the laminate and a little, light disc impression. There's some lamiate creasing around the edges with a little moreso around the mouth opening. Top seam has one or two little spots of light wear but there are no tears or splitting of any kind. The bottom seam is holding up fine with no wear, splits or tears. The spine has a few little laminate creases running through it but is holding fine with no splits or tears. The back is nice and pale but has yellowed slightly with a little browning buildup down the mouth edge. There's some light creasing in one or two places and the overflaps are holding tight, although the bottom one seems to have gotten caught on something causing the very edge to pull back a little. Overall, though, not bad. Usually the sleeves turn up trashed, this one is still looking respectible! Inner Sleeve: VG+

The original plastic-lined Emitex inner sleeve is included. It's holding alright with just some light, general aging and some creases in the corners. The opening has some light wear. The seams are holding with no splits or tears and the plastic inner is still glued in tightly. Disc (Visually Graded Only!!) : VG+/EX-

The playing surface has a a really nice shine to it and has some light scuffing but nothing serious. Looking nice, overall!

The labels are clean with bright, sharp silver text. The side 1 label is looking fine but there's a small white patch on the side 2 label where it looks like the label has bubbled slightly. Very small, though. Both labvels have some light, faint spindlewear and a little whitening around the centrehole. Nice labels!.
