ALBUM INFO:
What's on offer, the third pressing of the legendary Beatles first LP. This pressing would have been pressed in or around June 1963, as the initial first two pressings were only available in the first twelve weeks. As you can see from the MATRIX NUMBERS and STAMPERS you will see it's rare to find this earlier pressing in this kind of condition, due to the type of equipment these early pressings were subjected to be played on ie. Dansettes and early radiograms. Most early copies due to this are wrecked!!!! Produced by the now legendary producer George Martin at Abbey Road Studios, the tracks show the earliest form of his partnership with the songwriting duo Lennon and McCartney, as even on their very first LP they wrote eight original songs on this LP, alongside some classic cover versions which had been a main stay of their life performances in The Cavern Club and The Star Club in Hamburg. The album cover is probably one of the most iconic symbols of the 60's shot by Angus McBean, whose name you can clearly see at the bottom of the front cover.
COVER:
Angus McBean took the distinctive colour photograph of the group looking down over the stairwell inside EMI's London headquarters in Manchester Square.
PRODUCTION:
George Martin (producer, mixer, additonal arrangements)
Norman Smith (audio engineer, mixer)
VINYL:
(EX) The vinyl has a few light surface marks.
COVER: FRONT & BACK:
(EX) The front has a little laminate creasing towards the edges and spine, with only a little wear, mainly to the opening of the LP sleeve and to the bottom right hand corner, however this is very minor. The back also has a little creasing mostly in the same areas as the front, there is also a little wear mainly to the flip backs and a little towards the opening. Overall, the cover is in excellent condition for it's age and is free from any damage such as sticker marks, tears or writing.
EDGES/SPINE:
The spine and edges are in excellent condition with no damage, just a couple of crease marks to the spine.
INNER SLEEVE:
This is the original inner sleeve and is free from any damage, just a few creases.
LABELS:
Clean, no damage or writing.
AUDIO GRADING:
I play all LP's on my Pioneer PL 550-X. The album plays excellent with only one fault to mention; the LP pops three times on the track 'A Taste Of Honey' on the Side B. There is however no clicks, jumps or distortion, a truly fantastic listen!

I will not issue a refund if detail that is clearly stated on the advertisement has been missed by the buyer, so please read carefully.
PACKAGING:
I use preformed and standard mailers with stiffeners. I always take the vinyl out in its inner sleeve and place on top of the cover. This is then placed into a soft protective sleeve and packaged with stiffeners for full protection.

For Example, it would cost me £8 to send an LP to Italy signed for, but would cost me £12 to send the same LP signed for to Switzerland. ALL OVERSEAS (NON-EU): First class signed for will be £14.
