HEAVYWEIGHT 152g QUALITY
Sounds great!!
Lovely rich sound reproduction, with minimal background noise.
Still has the glorious sheen and is lovely and flat.
All that is required is a gentle professional clean and I am sure she would sound even better.
Only very light marks and very few of them too!
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
FATASTIC SLAB OF VINYL
Labels: EX. Lovely and clear... With only a handful of light spindle marks-visible only when angled towards the light.
Next to NO hole wear.
"KT" tax code raised, proud and bold to side 2.
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: VG+. A LOVELY example.
Light spidering to the laminate, with some very small fingers of spidering eminating from the spine and little crescents of spidering near the opening...
Not much age discolouration to the front or back card at all!
Slight rubbing to the corners, with the top right corner having a tiny split of 1.5cm.
I am being very critical
Superb Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks.
ALSO HAS THE "PATENTS PENDING" STATEMENT TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED AND READ MY HONEST FEEDBACK FOR TRUE GRADINGS AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Inner: VG+. It is the original "Use Emitex" inner.
"Patents Applied For" too-so very early.
It also has the very early tracing-paper inner.
Only detraction of it's loveliness are two small tears near the window on one side-really nothing to worry about at all.
NO WRITING
She has certainly kept this record in a wonderful condition.
It is the earlier 'tracing-paper' lined inner.
SHE IS A GLORIOUS FIRST PRESSING AND ALL COMPLETE PIECE OF BEATLES HISTORY-PROVIDING A LOVELY SOUND REPRODUCTION TOO.
.....HELP!
Would sit proud in any collection
