Description
PLEASE READ FIRST!
I'm having to make this even clearer as people are still buying records I'm grading low and as a 'collection filler', and then complain about the audio quality when they try to play them. As I do not own a record player I VISUALLY GRADE my records, so I cannotguarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description).
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
THE BEATLES
BEATLES VI
Very Rare Original UK EXPORT Press on Parlophone!
On offer here is a very rare and hard to find copy of the Beatles LP 'Beatles VI'. This is the original UK export release that has the original yellow / black Parlophone labels.
The CPCS series was a small section of Beatles albums that were originally released on the Capitol label in America. Parlophone in the UK manufactured a tiny number of copies specifically for export, designating them unique catalogue numbers that had a C (for Capitol) preceeding the PCS catalogue number. These copies were never, ever intended for UK release and production numbers were tiny. The stamper codes on each side are 1R and 1R, indicating that this was one of the first 600 ever off the production line!
Because of this, the original yellow / black Parlophone export copies of this album are incredibly rare and hard to find!
This copy should be considered purely as a collection filler due to its condition (check out the writeup and the photos below) so please don't bid for this record if you're intending to play it.
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.
Title Beatles VI Year of Release 1966 Catalogue Number CPCS 104 Label Yellow / Black Parlophone Tax Code on Disc KT Sleeve Manufacturer Garrod and Lofthouse Side 1 Matrix Number YEEX 112-A15 Side 2 Matrix Number ST2 2 451 YEEX 113-A15 Side 1 Stampers 1 / R Side 2 Stampers 1 / R Cover Condition The cover is in G condition. The cover is holding up okay but is showing its age. There are a few little repair jobs dotted around including tape in the corners and a tear on the front being covered with a similar-coloured piece of card. Looking inside it looks like a few little repair jobs were carried out - there's a small sticker type repair at the bottom right near the edge and it looks like something has been done along the top but I can't quite see what. The front of the cover looks clean and has some laminate rubbing and creasing as you can see in the photos below. The top and bottom seams have a few little wear spots but there are no splits or tears. The spine has a couple creases running through it but, again, has no splits or tears. The back cover has a litle discolouration (most noticeably at the mouth edge) and rubbing. There's a small tear in the paper just above the EMI info at the bottom. There's also some loight creasing and wear on the overflaps as you can see in the photos below. Inner Sleeve Condition The inner sleeve is in VG condition. This is the original plastic lined Emitex inner and is holding nice with light, general wear and tear and creases. One side seam has split in from the mouth edge about 2-3 inches in. Inserts Condition - Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in FAIR condition. Again, please remember that this is being sold as a collection filler due to how insanely rare these copies are. The disc has an okay shine to it but is covered in scuffs and marks along with some slightly heavier looking marks. There's nothing nasty or anything so not completely trashed but, as I say, just covered in scuffs and marks. Label Condition The labels are in VG condition. Both labels are clean with no stickers, writing or damage. here's just some light, general wear and a touch of whitening around the centrehole as you can see in the photos below.
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.

My 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.price rating
