THE BEATLES - 'BEATLES VI'
1966 UK 1st PRESS ***EXPORT** LP
** ULTRA-RARE & EXCELLENT COPY**
This extremely rare & excellent 1966 1st UK EXPORT pressing is on the UK black & yellow Parlophone label: CPCS 104
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but carry 'Gramophone Co..' rims.
The 'KT tax/price code is visible on the side 2 label.
Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed stereo cover.
Complete with its original plain white 'Patents Applied For' inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: YEEX 112-A15 & YEEX 113-A15 (ST2 2451 scratched out)
Stamper numbers: 1/R & 1/R
Labels: EXCELLENT
Visual: EXCELLENT
Very bright & clean surfaces which viewed in strong daylight display just 2 small light fingernail scuff per side but no scratches or other wear.
Close inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than some faint wispy inner-sleeve removal paper hairlines.
There are no heavy marks or any scratches to either side.
Heavy, sharp-edged vinyl which lies 100% flat both sides on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Audio: EXCELLENT PLUS
Carefully played on good quality equipment and all tracks play superbly without any signs of groovewear or background crackle.
Both run-ins and all bands are extrememly quiet and there are no clicks, pops, jump, repeats or indeed any other significant audible fault anywhere.
This copy of course plays the American 'enhanced' mixes which differ significantly to the original UK released mixes.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A fine example with a glossy & unscratched front laminate which displays a few tiny wrinkles to the lower edge & 4 small thumbnails, but no other wear.
The spine is unbent & uncreased and the corners bear just minor shelfwear but are square & unbumped.
Both opening edges are clean and sharp with no tears or feathering to either.
The rear panel is clean & white with just very minor discolouration toward the opening edge but no marks, writing or missing paper.
All flipbacks, spine & seams are intact, clean & undamaged.
All discs are carefully play graded in their entirety on a Rega P9 deck with an Ortofon Kontrapunkt 'A' cartridge.
All records are 100% guaranteed. Full refunds given if you are not satisfied
