Description

An original early 4th Mono press on UK Parlophone label. Matrix 1N/1N. 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 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 a couple of isolated ticks midway through Misery. Lovin' it. Highly recommended. Clean into the fussier tracks on side 2...LMD, TAP,TOH. Highly recommended.
Cover (Vg+) Very nice relatively unaged front with just a couple of thumbnail creases and some surface level creasing top right. The rear is in pretty decent condition. Many of these original '63 copies will be pretty aged by this point in time. This one seems to have avoided much of the ageing process - slight evidence around the opening. Signed top right on rear. Slight 1c.m. tear middle of rear opening [tape repaired internally]. No problem. Flipbacks are secure - slightest damage top right [no problem at all]. Spine is 95% intact - slight wear at extremes. Overall the cover still retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Vg+) Some ageing. No spits. Bag present. tidy!
