THE BEATLES 'A COLLECTION OF OLDIES BUT GOLDIES' 1966 LP.

First press, pressed in Great Britain and released on Parlophone PMC 7016.

Yellow & Black label with "Gramophone Co..." rim text & "Sold In The U.K...." Statement & 'KT' tax code on the side 2 label.

Matrix numbers are:

Side 1: XEX 619-1G     2       OT. 

Side 2:  XEX 619-1G        3       GDG.

Play grades as EX.

A little light surface noise between some tracks and a little light crackle in the last few seconds of side 2. There is a small scuff in 'Can't Buy Me Love' on side 2 that gives a few faint 'clicks'.

When tilted under normal lighting side 1 has just a few small, faint marks and a thin needle line across tracks 4-8, side 2 has a small thin scuff in track 1 ['Can't Buy Me Love'].

Under strong halogen lights there are just a few more light marks visible.

Front laminated Garrod & Lofthouse patents pending 3-flipback sleeve grades as EX.

Correct white 'patents applied for' & 'Made in Great Britain' inner sleeve grades as VG.

Complete with no tears or wear but with some light creasing.

I dispatch records in brand new, bought in mailers designed for the process. Before placing in the mailer I take LPs out of the sleeve place both in a polysleeve and between two card stiffeners and if there is a picture sleeve I place the LP in a plain sleeve to prevent knifing of the picture sleeve. [all this costs £0.80/single LP].

I USE RECORD COLLECTOR GRADINGS AND USE A +/- WHERE I FEEL THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE.

(M) MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as sealed or unplayed should be mint.

(EX) EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of being played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging may have slight wear and/or creasing.

(VG) VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

(G) GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

(F) FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

(P) POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

(B) BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
