This is the ... The Savage Young Beatles
Recorded by THE BEATLES Hamburg 1961
1965 1ST MONO
CAT. NO. BM 69
This is a 1965 USA pressing of The Beatles and Tony Sheridan recordings in Hamburg from 1961 in the pre-Ringo days when Pete Best was the drummer. This is the 1st pressing with the error on the cover; it states the word 'the' twice as in 'This is the ... The Savage Young Beatles', this was corrected. Not only that the vinyl is in exceptional condition!
Sleeve: Very Good Plus condition. Has retained its original glossy finish, bright coloration and contrast... Corners are still pretty square with straight unblemished edges and spine the sleeve is structurally sound; no tears, rips, or repairs, and no blemishes such as writing, ring-wear, or indentations. There is a slight rippling effect to the opening side extreme edge. Lies completely flat and sturdy and clean, and the whole sleeve looks neat and solid. Nice and clear white on rear panel.
The Vinyl: Grades as Excellent Plus. Has retained a jet-black glossy pressing sheen all over both surfaces and looks to have been seldom played. There are no warps, no scuffs, no needle drops, no groove wear, no scratches, and no hairlines. The surfaces are clean and have retained their original lustre and project a strong mirror-like shine. Inspected closely literally just a couple of feint smudges. The condition clearly shows the potential for an audio rendition as good as likely to be possible. Has retained a virtually unblemished sheen overall, having a mirror-like reflection and deep shine.
Inner Sleeve: Original inner sleeve in Very Good Condition; it is structurally sound but does have a line of invisible tape on one side and bottom edge covering up a split.
The Labels: Excellent Plus condition. No play-wear to the spindle perimeter, and no spindle line traces the spindle point. The orange colouration has been very well retained.
The Audio: There are no audible detractions, no discernible deviation from the original audio quality. It plays as well as likely to be possible, very clear and lucid with only the occasional static type sound tic which are only audible in a few of the linking grooves between tracks and possibly the odd static tic due to age of the record in some of the fades in's/ out's but absolutely nothing that would overpower. Lucid instrumental detail with perfect channelling, deep mono bass and raw punchy vocals. No jumps, no pops, no clicks, no skips, no background noise, no sticks etc. Comparable to new record quality. Excellent and amazing for it's age and great to hear these original early raw live takes when The Beatles were just starting out.
