EX!
Lovely rich sound reproduction, with BARELY ANY background noise!!
I have just had the utter pleasure of listening to her all the way through and was amazed at how quiet the run-ins were-as well as inbetween tracks! Not to mention how wonderfully clear the audio was....The violins on Yesterday were pure magic.
CLEANED WITH VACUUM RECORD CLEANER.
Still has the glorious sheen and is lovely and flat.
Nothing AT ALL to make her jump or skip
RICH, GLORIOUS MONO
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
Labels: EX+
Lovely and clear...
IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE SEEN THESE 1st PRESSING LABELS IN SUCH WONDERFUL CONDITION.
With only a few light spindle marks-visible when angled towards the light she is a lovely 1st Pressing
Almost zero hole wear.
Proud "KT" tax code to side 1.
Has the 1st type Sans Serf text.
Outer text "The Gramophone co.LTD"
DOES have the "Sold in the uk.." text.
Please see the detailed images provided....Click on them for larger images with more detail.
THE LABEL ALSO HAS THE CREDIT OF "LARK MUS." FOR TRACK 1, SIDE 2, RATHER THAN THE LATER PRINTING: "LARK MUSIC"
ALSO
Track 4, side 1 has the '*' AFTER the "I Need You Title" rather than the later printing, which put it BEFORE the song title.
SHOWING THIS TO BE ONE OF THE VERY 1ST
Cover: EX-!
A LOVELY example.
With only a few very small fingers of spidering eminating from the spine & seems and only a couple of little crescents of spidering near the opening...!!
The back card remains white, with just a few light, small discolouration patches.
LIGHT & MINIMAL rubbing to the corners.
The top of the laminate has come away in a patch along the top, but not boken through.
I am being very critical
Superbly STRONG Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks.
ALSO HAS THE "PATENTS PENDING" STATEMENT TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.
NO WRITING
**A GREAT COVER HERE**
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED AND READ MY HONEST FEEDBACK FOR TRUE GRADINGS AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Inner: EX+. It is the ORIGINAL "USE EMITEX" tracing-paper lined inner in TOP SHAPE.
NO writing
NO splitting.
MAGICAL-as The Beatles wanted you to receive them!
SHE IS A FIRST PRESSING AND AN ALL COMPLETE PIECE OF BEATLES HISTORY-PROVIDING A WONDERFULLY RICH SOUND REPRODUCTION TOO.
.....HELP!
Would sit HIGHLY in any collection
