THE BEATLES - 'WITH THE BEATLES'

1963 UK 2nd **MONO** ISSUE LP

**DECCA PRESSING**

Pressed in very limited quantities by Decca Records (in mono only) at the request of EMI in early 1964 these pressing are chiefly identifiable by the distinctive 'groove' around the label. Although pressed on slightly thinner vinyl than their EMI counterparts, they retain top Decca sound quality.

This superb and rare DECCA 2nd mono pressing is on the UK black & yellow Parlophone label: PMC 1206
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but carry 'Recording First Published...' and 'Parlophone Co Ltd...' rims.
The publishing credit for 'Money' is 'Dominion, Belinda'
There is no tax/price code is visible on either label.

Housed in front laminated, 'tri-flipback' Garrod & Lofthouse mono cover, with the 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me' misspelling.
Complete with its original lined inner-sleeve.

Matrix numbers: XEX 447-7N & XEX 448-7N
Stamper numbers: 3,10,11 & 8

CONDITION

Disc

Labels: EXCELLENT

Visual: NEAR MINT

Despite the slight hole-wear, the surfaces of this disc really do appear pristine and 'as new'.
The surfaces retain their deep gloss shines revealing just a few very feint sleeve removal hairlines on close scrutiny under a halogen desk lamp.
There are no scuffs, scratches or marks of any kind on either side and the disc lies 100% flat on the turntable without dishing or warping.
An amazing looking disc.

Audio: NEAR MINT

This disc really does sound as good as it looks. The sound quality is flawless with no traces of crackle or groovewear distortion on any track.
There are no clicks, pops, hiss, jumps or repeats anywhere. It's a rare chance to hear this record as it was on the day of purchase.

Cover: EXCELLENT

A strong and clean example displaying a bright front image with a high-gloss, unscratched laminate bearing just two 'thumbnails' creases only.
The lower corners have a touch of storagewear but the opening edges are clean, sharp and unworn with no tears or 'feathering'.
The rear panel is white and clean with just a tiny mark near the right flipback but no other blemishes or any writing.
Slight discolouration to the lower corner but all 'flipbacks' are all intact, and the spine and seams are strong and intact with no stress or splits.

Strict visual & audible gradings under intense direct light & at volume on high-end audio equipment
