Description
Original 7" single in record company sleeve, issued in the UK in 1962 by Parlophone Records
Catalogue number 45-R 4949.
MATRIX No. SIDE 1 7XCE 17144 - 1N SIDE 2 7XCE 17145 - 1N
Vinyl graded G/VG.
Tested on a good Technics deck.
Some visible marks and surface scratches but the record plays from start to finish with no jumps.
Plays very nicely without any distortion - slight occasional crackle evident when listening on headphones, hence why I have graded as G/VG rather than VG.
Small area of writing in pen on A-side and B-side and a small scribble.
More pics below.
I gather that this is a first pressing:
"The Parlophone Co. Ltd. (small letter)" was printed at the perimeter.
Without the words "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" under the trade mark.
Sleeve has some ringwear and the odd crease.
Tracklisting as follows:
The Beatles
A: Love Me Do.
B: PS I Love You.
Great early Fabs 45.
Shipped in a card 7" vinyl mailer with stiffener.
