'THE BEATLES VI'
1966 UK 1st PRESS PARLOPHONE*EXPORT* LP
** EXCELLENT CONDITION**
This extremely rare 1966 UK 1st EXPORT pressing is on the 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.
All versions on this LP feature the American/'Dave Dexter Jnr.' mixes.
Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover.
Complete with its original plain white 'Patents Applied For' inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: YEEX 112-A15 & YEEX 113-A15
(The original U.S. matrix 'ST 2451' is scratched out on the side 2 run-out)
Stamper numbers: 1/O & 1/M
Disc weight: 141g
Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS
Both labels display just a few very faint and small spindle trails.
The silver centre-hole marker is still visible on the side 2 label.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces viewed in daylight are clean and bright, retaining their 'as new' deep gloss shines.
Apart from two light fingernail scuffs (measuring 1cm & 2cms) on side 1, there are no other visible marks or wear.
Close and careful inspection of both sides directly under my halogen desk lamp reveals just a few insignificant wispy paper hairlines but no scratches or other visible wear.
There is a very slight uneven edge visible when playing, but this does not affect sound or play in any way.
Audio: EXCELLENT
This copy has received just a few careful light plays on good quality equipment & the sound throughout is clean, warm and clear with no traces of groovewear distortion or background noise.
In fact, apart from a touch or minor background between some tracks, there is little to fault here.
The entire album is free from any clicks, pops, jumps or any significant or major audible faults.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A fine example of this rare cover which retains a bright, clean & glossy front laminate which displays just a few small spine bends and five tiny 'thumbnail' creases towards the opening edge.
All corners are clean, sharp and unbumped and both opening edges are completely unworn front and rear.
The rear panel is in great shape - clean and white where it should be with no marks, writing or missing paper.
All flipbacks are perfectly clean and fully intact &b oth seams are strong, unstressed and unsplit.
The spine is unworn with perfectly clear and undamaged text.
Inner-sleever: EXCELLENT
Clean, crisp & white, with no tears or splits.
