THE BEATLES
'WITH THE BEATLES'
1963 UK 1ST PRESSING **STEREO** LP
**NEAR MINT**
This rare NEAR MINT 1963 STEREO pressing is on the UK black & yellow Parlophone label: PCS 3045
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but carry 'Parlophone Co Ltd...' rims and the 'Recording First Published...' text.
The publishing credit for the song 'Money' is 'Jobete..' and there is the '..Gotta..' label misspelling.
The 'KT' tax/price code is visible on the centre of the side 1 label.
Housed in a large 'STEREO' logo Garrod & Lofthouse front laminated, 'tri-flipback' cover.
This example has the rarer/earlier darker front image and '..Gotta..' misspelling on the rear panel.
Complete with its original lined 'Use Emitex inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: YEX 110-2 & YEX 111-2
Stamper numbers: 2/AR & 2/RT
Labels: NEAR MINT
Visual: NEAR MINT
Clearly played only a very few times, the surfaces are bright and glossy and bear no scuff or scratches whatsoever.
Close inspection under a halogen desk lamp reveals just a few very feint sleeve removal hairlines but no other marks.
The thick heavy quality vinyl has fine sharpe edges and lies totally 100% flat on the turntable without dishing or warping.
Audio: NEAR MINT
Very hard to fault this copy as it has only been played a few times.
Both run-ins and all band play completely silently without any crackle or other interference and there are no clicks or pops anywhere.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A respectable example of this fragile cover bearing just light handling and storagewear.
The front panel is clean, bright and unyellowed bearing just a few light laminate creases and a few small 'thumbnails' but no major faults.
The corners have a touch of storagewear but the opening edge is clean and sharp with no tears, feathering or missing paper.
The rear panel is clean, bright and white with no discolouration, marks or writing.
The 'flipbacks' are slightly discoloured in relation to the rear panel but are intact and undamaged.
All seams are stong and unsplit and the spine is square, clean and readable.
Strict visual & audible gradings under intense direct light & at volume on high-end audio equipment
