THE BEATLES
'BEATLES VI'
1966 UK 1st **EXPORT** PRESSING LP
This very rare 1966 1st EXPORT pressing is on the UK black & yellow Parlophone label: CPCS 104
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but carry 'Gramophone Co Ltd...' rims.
The 'KT' tax/price code is visible on the side 2 label.
N.B. This copy uses the American 'Dave Dexter Jr' mixes.
Housed in a front laminated, 'tri-flipback' Garrod & Lofthouse 'Patents Pending' cover .
Complete with its original white 'Patents Pending' inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: YEEX 112-A15 & YEEX 113-A15 (ST2 2451 scratched out)
Stamper numbers: 1/O & 1/O
Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS
Visual: EXCELLENT
This copy has been carefully handled and seldom played and has bright surfaces which retain their deep gloss shine.
There are just a few light 'fingernail' scuffs and sleeve removal hairlines visible under a halogen desk lamp but no large, deep/'feelable' marks or scratches.
The disc lies 100% flat on the turntable without dishing or warping.
Audio: EXCELLENT PLUS
Super bright and clear sound without any trace of crackle or groovewear distortion on any track.
Both run-ins and all bands play extremely quietly with no loud crackle, pops or clicks and there are no jumps or repeats anywhere.
A very clean sounding copy which would be difficult to upgrade.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A very respectable exmaple of this rare cover bearing just light handling and storage wear only.
The front panel's high-gloss laminate bears a few wrinkles around the edges and two small 'thumbanils' but no heavy creases or major wear.
The corners are in fine shape with just a hint of storagewear but no 'bumps' and the opening edges are clean sharp and totally unworn.
The rear panel is pristine clean and white with absolutely no age-discolouration, marks or writing; present or removed or any missing paper.
There are some light creases visible to the lower left corner flipback but that all the others are all intact and undamaged.
The spine, with its factory 'pinched' ends, is in perfect shape and all seams are stong unstressed and unsplit.
Strict visual & audible gradings under intense direct light & at volume on high-end audio equipment
