THE BEATLES - 'WITH THE BEATLES'
1963 UK 1st PRESS *STEREO* LP
**NEAR MINT**
This top-class 1963 UK 1st STEREO pressing is on the black & yellow Parlophone label: PCS 3045
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but carry 'Parlophone Co..' rims.
The label publishing credit is the initial but incorrect 'Jobete Mus NCB'
The track 3 title is misspelt as 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me'.
The 'KT' tax/price code is visible on the side 1 label.
Housed in a thick card, front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed small stereo logo cover.
The rear tracklisting aso misspells the 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me' title.
Complete with its original 'Use Emitex' poly-lined inner-sleeve.
N.B. - Despite having a small front stereo logo, this cover is 100% contemporary with this disc and has not been switched.
Later 'small' logo covers were of much thinner card.
Matrix numbers: YEX 110-2 & YEX 111-2
Stamper numbers: 3/RT & 2/RO
Disc weight: 153g
Labels: NEAR MINT
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are in a remarkable MINT condition when viewed in strong daylight. They are 100% unmarked and display no clouding or dulling to either surface.
Close & careful inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals literally just one or two few barely visible wispy paper hairlines, but otherwise this pristine copy is 'as new'.
Both sides lie 100% flat both sides on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Audio: NEAR MINT
This incredible sounding copy, boasts outstanding sound quality and is sounds 'as new' throughout.
Every track - even the innermost ones - play perfectly with no trace of any background noise or groove/playwear on any track.
Both run-ins and all bands play silently & there are no clicks, jumps or any other audible faults anywhere.
Tough to find a better sounding copy!
Cover: EXCELLENT PLUS
A first-class example of this easily flawed cover with a striking, un-yellowed front panel which bears just a single tiny 'thumbnail' wrinkle on Paul's ear, but no further creasing.
Apart from a tiny area of missing laminate to the right of the 'stereo' logo, it is unscratched and undamaged.
There is a minor bruise to the upper right corner but all others are perfectly clean & square.
The front opening edge is in perfect condition with just a single indentation visible on the rear edge.
The easily blemished rear panel is in superb bright white and unyellowed condition with no handling marks, writing or missing paper.
All flipbacks, are clean & intact and both seams & the spine are perfect & undamaged.
Inner: EXCELLENT
Clean & crisp with just some natural toning but no splits, tears or other major wear.
