Description
UP FOR BID IS A RARE COPY OF THE BEATLES ALBUM "BEATLES VI", ON THE PARLOPHONE CPCS 104 LABEL ISSUED IN 1966. THIS IS ONE OF 5 U.S. ALBUM TITLES MANUFACTURED IN GREAT BRITAIN SPECIFICALLY FOR EXPORT TO OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. THIS ALBUM WAS PURCHASED IN A PX ON A MILITARY BASE IN GERMANY. I BOUGHT IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL, FIRST PRESS COPY ON THE PARLOPHONE BLACK LABEL WITH "PARLOPHONE" IN YELLOW LETTERS. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THAT IT IS PRETTY RARE.
I'M NO EXPERT IN GRADING RECORDS BUT IT APPEARS TO BE IN VERY NICE CONDITION. THE VINYL IS NICE AND SHINY WITH A FEW LIGHT SCUFF MARKS AND SURFACE SCRATCHES. I HAVE PLAYED IT AND IT PLAYS VERY NICELY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT SKIPPING. IT DOES HAVE SOME TICKS AND POPS THAT ARE AUDIBLE, MOSTLY BETWEEN SONGS. I DID NOT HARDLY NOTICE THE TICKS AND POPS ON MOST OF THE SONGS AS I PLAYED IT. I WHOULD GRADE IT AS A VERY GOOD MINUS CONDITION. THE LABEL IS VERY CLEAN BUT DOES HAVE A RED STICKER ON ONE SIDE WITH THE NAME "SONNY" ON IT. IT IS A PLASTIC STICKER MADE WITH A LABEL MAKER AND MEASURES ABOUT ONE INCH LONG BY 1/2" HIGH. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO TAKE IT OFF BUT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE REMOVED.
THE COVER IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION WITH JUST A SMALL CREASE NEAR THE OPENING ON THE RIGHT SIDE. LOOKS TO BE ABOUT AN INCH LONG. THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT STAINING IN A FEW PLACES ON THE BACK BUT OTHERWISE VERY NICE WITH NO WRITING OR STICKERS. THE COVER IS THE FLIP BACK COVER WHERE THE EDGES ON 3 SIDES ARE FLIPPED BACK AND GLUED. AT THE LOWER BOTTOM EDEGE, IT HAS PRINTED "P.L. Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending" CPCS 104.
I ACCEPT PAYPAL ONLY AND WILL SHIP ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK.
