1964 1st Mono UK pressing on the yellow and black Parlophone label.
"The Parlophone ...." text on the label rim, "Sold in the UK text" and "Recording first published on labels.
Cover: Excellent+. This is the Garrod & Lofthouse 1st pressing cover which is laminated on the front (unlaminated rear) with the rear triple flip-backs; and the 1st pressing mid-size MONO text on the front cover. No writings/doodles or seam splits - which is amazing as most Beatles records from this era have some writing/dooles or messages on them. You will find it hard to get a better one than this.
Inner sleeve: Emitex poly-lined inner sleeve is Excellent.
Labels: Excellent. 1st pressing 'Chubby' font.
Vinyl: Play tested. Looks Excellent with a few light hairlines. Plays VG+. No skips/jumps. Some background crackle on the run in, between tracks and in quieter moments. Hardly noticeable during tracks. A real testimony to the durability of these UK first pressings.
Postage & packaging: £3.50 (UK) £6 (EUROPE)
& £10 (REST OF THE WORLD)
