THE BEATLES
UK 1967 1st PRESSING *WITHOUT THE '...LIVE WORLD TELEVISION TRANSMISSION...' TEXT* 45
On the silver & black Parlophone label: R 5620
Both labels bear the 'Sold in UK..' text & 'Gramophone Co...' rims.
The 'KT' tax/price code is visible in the centre of the 'Baby You're A Rich Man' label.
Housed in its original Parlophone company cover.
Matrix numbers: 7XCE 18425-1 & 7XCE 18426-1
Stampers: 1/P & 1/H
Condition
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean and bright set with just a faint 'ghost' of a sticker on the side 1 label but no writing or any other major faults.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces are extremely clean and retain a healthy gloss shine with just one or two light marks visible in strong daylight on side 1, but nothing I would call a scratch. Close inspection under halogen light reveals a few insignificant wispy paper hairlines but certainly no further marks or wear. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This copy has been barely played and both tracks lead in from silent run-in grooves and play without any trace of any background noise or groovewear distortion to either side. The bass response on 'Baby You're A Rich Man' is particularly impressive.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
Clean & flat with just a faint retailer's stamp onthe front & reverse but no tears or splits.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
- Please take a look at my About Me page for more details.
