Description

An original early 4th Mono press on UK Parlophone label. Matrix 1N/1N. Tax code "MT". The labels are correct 4th.... with NO 'Sold In The UK'. 'Parlophone' at perimeter and 'Record 1st Pub' IS present. Which means it would have probably been on for sale early summer 1963 [at the height of Beatlemania]. The heavy-set vinyl comes in an original 1963 Mono cover by E J Day. We also have the original Emitex inner. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete. 
Vinyl (Ex) In lovely condition and has only seen light careful use. Under close inspection I can only make out a couple of light marks per side, and one superficial trail -  but nothing heavy or troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, EXCELLENT level of playback with one slightest deviation per side. Intros and inbetweens are lovely and quiet and the audio comes across with excellent clarity. I really couldn't recommend it more highly for audio. In terms of a clean background it would give a mint 90's copy a run for its money. Just think about the passage of time though. The vibrancy and energy in these early pressings is just phenomenal. Hardly any sign of background even in the quieter tracks on side 2. At worst one isolated tick per side and a couple of crackles in a couple of spots per side. Lovin' it. Clean into the fussier tracks on side 2...LMD, TAP,TOH . Highly recommended.
Cover (Vg/Vg+) Very nice relatively unaged front with just a couple of minor thumbnail creases and a couple of minor stress creases at the edge. The rear is in pretty decent condition. It seems to have avoided the worst of the ageing process - expect some light evidence though and a few ageing spots at the foot... nothing unpalatable really. Flipbacks are secure - but some wear at corners in the odd spot. Spine is 90% intact - wear at extremes. Sharp openings. Overall the cover still retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Vg+) Light ageing  Bag present. No splits.
