Description
An original 4th press of PPM in the UK on Parlophone. Matrix 1N/1N. Stampers 2-MT/4-OD. This pressing would have been available in the shops SUMMER 1963 as BEATLEMANIA was in full swing. There's NO 'sold in the UK' statement, but THERE IS 'recording 1st pub' - this equates to 4th press/issue. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original E J Day cover. We also have the original Emitex inner sleeve with 'patents pending'. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) In truly super condition and has only seen light use. A close inspection reveals just a few light marks per side, and one superficial trail - nothing troublesome though. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback. This is 1963 and playback is of a very very high standard indeed - one that totally belies its relative age. Just a warm clean delivery of some terrific audio. It's certainly one of the best renditions I've witnessed. Intros and inbetweens are totally quiet and the audio comes across with superb clarity. This is difficult to find on any copy - but remember....this is BEATLES...this is a summer 1963 copy. That is an unusual find. Anything detrimental...>>? Well, all I could detect were a few crackles in one isolated spot side. CLEAN - consistently.... It has that warmth of a live recording - the presence of actually being in the room. All tracks, no matter how low-key, play perfectly clean - even the tricky ones toward the end of side 2. [Secret & Honey]. Finding these tracks, so clean, is really unusual. They often are the first tracks to exhibit groove-wear. Not the slightest hint! This BEAST is a TOP LEVEL player. Love it! FINAL UPGRADE. Please note the labels have been signed/initialled in a couple of places.
Cover (Ex-) A super looking original example - many examples do not make it through time looking this refined. A clean and flat front cover without any ageing or creasing. The rear has avoided all but the slightest affects of the ageing process - a couple of slight blemishes and a signature top right. The flipbacks are all secure and intact. Edge wear is very slight and the spine is 100% intact. Overall the cover still retains excellent rigidity in part thanks to the heavy-card employed in manufacture.
Inner (Vg) Light ageing and a couple of stains. No splits and a couple of signatures.
