BEATLES UK - WITH THE BEATLES, MONO - Jobete.

1963 PMC 1206 -  YELLOW AND BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL.

The very first UK Mono pressing of this album in 100% original condition.  

The record label has Two misprints for the publishing credit for the song  ‘Money’, as this  is shown as ‘Jobete’,  this error was unique to these very first press Mono 1/1 matrix records and it was soon corrected.   The other mispress is that the abbreviation that should read  ‘ NCB ’,    has been mispressed and it reads  ‘ NOB ’ !   see photo !

There is an unusual  ‘ MTK ’ embossed around the spindle hole on the label on side  Two.

CONDITION:

MAIN SLEEVE:  is in excellent condition, housed in the correct early front laminated sleeve, with a large black ‘solid’  Mono on the front. It features a tri flipback design to the rear.     The spine  is  very good and all the text is clear.   The unlaminated rear of the sleeve is very clean and has remained white for its age.   The sleeve features the incorrect spelling of  ‘GOTTA’, for the track,  ‘You really GOT a hold on me’ !.   This is a very clean, strong original sleeve that has not been handling very much,  there are NO tears, stains or  Biro pen writing on the  sleeve.

INNER SLEEVE: is in very good+  condition and is the original polylined  Emitex sleeve,  it is very clean and white for its age.   There is NO  Pen writing,  edge wear, tears  or stains.

VINYL:   side One is in very good condition,  side Two is in very good- condition,  the vinyl  is made from the  period sixties  ‘thick, heavy’ vinyl,     the Matrix nos. are:   XEX 447 – 1N   and   XEX 448 – 1N,   the Mother/Stampers are:    ‘ 1  -  O  G A L ’  and  ‘ 2  -  O G  ’.

AUDIO:   is very good,     it plays well all the way through,  it lays flat on the turntable and plays with NO sticks  or jumps.  Either side shows scuff  marks  and light scratches,  on side Two there are some  light scratches that can be heard on the song ‘ You really got a hold on me’,   these give a    ‘tick’  sound when  played at a  low  volume level.

THE LABELS:  are  in very good condition,  unusually there is an  ‘MTK’ embossed onto side Two.   Usually both the sleeve and the record label have the spelling of   ‘ You really Gotta hold on me’  this  ‘GOTTA’ spelling  was a  mistake and the label together with the sleeve were soon corrected to read  ‘ got a’  !.    As mentioned the label also has  another  mistake, the  publishing credit for the song  ‘Money’ is shown as   ‘Jobete’,  this  is unique to these first Mono pressings and again  it was soon corrected !.    Also on the same publishing  credit the abbreviation for ‘NCB’    has been  mispressed, and reads   ‘NOB’ !,    also as an  added bonus the  record labels seem to have  a textured surface, rather than the usual plain flat finish !.

 PLEASE WAIT UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE BEFORE YOU SEND PAYMENT.

Unfortunately as you will see from my feedback,   I have received One negative feedback recently.   This is due to the fact that I followed Ebay policy and reported  an Ebay member for non payment and in turn I have received this feedback !, while this Ebay member carries on trading unaffected !,    I am disgusted that Ebay has let this happen !

***************

To fairly grade the condition of the record, I am using the official grading system from the Record Collector Magazine.

Grading System

The seven standard condition categories and a description of what each one means are listed below:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.

+  or  – :  indicates a grading in between categories.
