This is the rarest Lp I've ever offered on ebay. What makes it rarer still is not all the well known "errors" that are associated with this early pressing, but the condition....Near Mint verging on Mint for the record; and Near Mint for the album jacket. For a 50 year old Beatles artefact, that's quite something.  This listing is for all those fans and collectors who have been waiting for a copy of this precious album but don't want to go through all the hassle and anguish of bidding for one and winning then receiving the record  in a "not as described condition". I'm quite sure, there can't be more than a dozen of these early copies in NM condition that are floating around. The one  I'm offering truly belongs in a museum...it's that clean.  Of course, the most important detail is the quality of the audio. I was completely blown away by the tremendous sonics....an audiophile's dream. Forget about MFSL,  Japanese pressed Lps, CD remasters etc...they ALL pale in comparison. Don't miss this opportunity to purchase what may very well be the cleanest 1st UK  pressing of this album on the planet.

The  copy I'm offering features all 3 of the known label (misprint) errors:

1. The Side 2 label features the incorrect 'Jobete' credit for the song "Money  (This should have been 'Dominion Belinda')

2. The Side 2 track listing incorrectly lists  "I Really Gotta Hold On You"  (This should have read, " I Really Got To Hold On You")

3. The rarest error, the credit for "I Really Got To Hold On You" should read 'Dominion' but is incorrectly printed as 'Domion'.

There is also an additional printing error on the back of the cover:

1. The track listing is again incorrectly printed as "Gotta" instead of "Got To".

Condition of Record: Near Mint to Mint...only the FAINTEST hairline or two seen under strong light...labels are clean and "K T" tax codes seen on Side 1. 

Condition of Lp Jacket: Near Mint....only a couple of inoffensive laminate wrinkles (in Ringo's face) and the faintest signs of ageing to the back cover

Condition of Original Inner-Sleeve: Excellent ...with "Patents Applied For" statement printed at lower left corner.

I've taken the time snap some detailed photos of the above item, please have a good look for any other condition issues.

If you have any questions regarding the copy I'm offering, don't hesitate to ask.

European Buyers...please contact me for shipping rates/options BEFORE paying invoice...thanks.
