The Beatles - With the Beatles - Parlophone Reissue of 1963 original release.   
Okay, here's the deal -- please read!!!!
I am auctioning only ONE of these -- winner can choose stereo or mono version.  Both are in EXC+ condition.
On the Mono release - Parlophone returned to its 1960's type label on for this one time release of the 8 mono albums.  They were remastered using the original "tube cuts" according to the Beatles Collection website.  I recommend you go there for more detailed info.  The sound should be close to the same as the original 60's releases.  Parlophone did it right when it came to the Beatles.
On the Stereo release - the Label indicates this was issued between 1981-1984.  All done with good vinyl and sound.   You may want the stereo version instead.
You may choose either but I am NOT selling both.    For collectors seeking the original releases, keep looking, lol.
Jackets and vinyl of both are EXC++  The mono version has a small surface mark on the last two cuts of Side 2 which absolutely do NOT show up during play.
I am happy to combine shipping.  Most shipping boxes can handle 3 or 4 LPs.   We can discuss shipping if you purchase more.
PLEASE READ ALL INFO BELOW ON GRADING, TERMS AND BASIC AUCTION DETAILS
MY LPS
With few exceptions, all the LPs I am offering come from my personal collection.   Most were purchased on Ebay over many years.  They have all received excellent care while in my possession both on the turntables/cartridges used and in storage, most having polylined inner sleeves and plastic outer covers.  That doesn't mean they are all perfect as sometimes I wanted albums for a low price, experimentation or easy playing so a decent copy is all I wanted.  In other cases I really wanted as close to new as possible.  Just rest assured they have all been treated well for years by me whatever condition they were when I got them.
GRADING
Grading is subjective.  I will do my best to be accurate as I want buyers to be satisfied.  I am cleaning all the LPs then both visually and play grading.  Sometimes LPs really are near mint but still have pops or noise due to the PRESSING itself or the original material (as in 1930's jazz recordings).   I will attempt to describe such as I will listen to one full cut from each LP.   I use only the categories VG and NM along with a plus or a minus.   I no longer will use "mint" or "near mint" as this rating is too open to conflicting interpretations.  I prefer using EXC which allows for slight imperfections yet indicates an album with few flaws.  Some will qualify as what might be considered "near mint".   Anything below VG won't be listed, it goes to the thrift stores.  
EXC - Jacket tight, no splits, tears, writing, discoloration, etc.  Vinyl - Shiny, clear of most any surface scratches, sounds excellent with no pops, scratches except perhaps can be heard between cuts or in the quietest of passages.  As noted above if I consider the noise to be part of the PRESSING while the vinyl looks pristine, I may grade EXC but will mention the situation.
VG - Jacket generally tight, will exhibit shelf wear, small splits or tears, etc.   Vinyl - Sound is excellent but has extra pops or noise from being played or perhaps a slight warp that does not inhibit normal play.   Anything below this will not be offered.  
+(-) will be used at my discretion to help further grade the jackets and vinyls.  For example, VG++ might be used where I just can't quite give it a EXC status but it's closer to EXC than to VG.   I'll do my best but no doubt not everybody is going to see eye to eye with me on every LP.   You'll have to have a little faith here but I do want to maintain my good rating at Ebay so I have an incentive not to over grade.  If I do, you may buy once but not again.   
STANDARD DETAILS
-   All LPs manually cleaned on my Spin Clean set up -  All LPs visually and play graded (I listen to one complete cut per LP, usually 1st cut, Side A unless I see an issue elsewhere) -  All LPs come with paper inner sleeve, most with polylined paper sleeve and plastic cover for jacket (unless otherwise noted) -  All LPs shipped in cardboard LP mailers.  I do NOT make money on shipping.  Minimum media mail postage is $2.85.  I add the cost of the mailers and packaging.  That's it.  I don't understand how some people expect shipping to be lower than seller cost.   -  Returns are NOT accepted unless I've really screwed up.  I am as straightforward in my descriptions as possible.
