** More Pictures To Follow **
For sale is a copy of The Beatles third studio album, Beatles For Sale.
This is an original UK 1st Pressing produced in 1964 which features the sought-after yellow and black Parlophone labels.
Both the record and sleeve are in great condition and would be a super addition to any collection.
Please see below for further details.
Many vinyl records are mis-sold on eBay. There are several details which identify this copy as a true 1st pressing. They are:
- · Front and back laminated gatefold Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve.
- · Medium size MONO outline on the front of the sleeve.
- · Black labels with yellow Parlophone logo.
- · ‘Recording first published 1964’ printed over two lines on the label.
- · ‘PMC 1240’ catalogue number.
- · Matrix numbers XEX 503-3N (side 1) and XEX 504-3N (side2).
I try to take pictures which provide a fair representation of the condition of a record and the sleeve. If interested, please read below for a detailed discussion including an audio description.
I use the Goldmine standard as a reference for grading.
Vinyl: Very Good +
The vinyl is in great condition with super playback.
The vinyl surface retains the original gloss sheen.
The labels are bright and have minimal spindle wear.
There are subtle hairline marks which can be picked up in bright light but none that are deep or affect playback.
The audio on both sides is crisp and clear with very little background crackle.
There are no skips or jumps.
Overall, an enjoyable listen.
Sleeve: Very Good
The sleeve is in great condition.
The front and rear are very clean with only a couple of laminate ripples and small scuffs.
As is often the case the delicate spine has a 1cm rip at the top and bottom.
The corners and edges show subtle signs of storage wear but are still respectable.
There is no writing present anywhere on the sleeve.
Inner Sleeve: Very Good
The inner sleeve is the original polythene lined ‘protect your records’ Emitex copy.
It is clean with minimal staining or discolouration.
There are several creases around the corners.
Also included in the sale is an audiophile quality inner sleeve which provides the best possible protection for the record.
This is a great copy of a great album that has been enjoyed for 57 years and is ready to be enjoyed for 57 more years.
The outer sleeve, vinyl, and inner sleeve are all housed within a premium quality polythene outer sleeve.
The record will be sent within a padded vinyl record mailer and will be sent via an insured courier.
