CREDIT FOR THE TRACK ''MONEY'' AND VERY RARE GARROD & LOFTHOUSE FLIP BACK (EARLIEST) COVER !!!!!! VERY RARE!  M.K.T. TAX STAMPER !!!!!PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT CLICKS OR POPS!! VERY NEAR PERFECT AUDIO ON MY SYSTEMS  !!(with the miss spelling) ''YOU REALLY GOTTA HOLD ON ME'' ON  THE LABELS AND  COVER ABSOLUTELY SUPERBE AND COLLECTABLE!!!!!!

Another from my personal collection of over 1000 UK Beatles albums that I have accumilated over a period of more than 40 years! Most people who know the type of records that i list on this site are in near perfect condition! ,, This album is listed for its rarety rather than for its condition. The album shows some signs of its age and there is light ware and tare but having said that this is one of the most sought after and most scarce\earliest to ever find also what makes this so desirable is the absolutely stunning audio quality throughout and I heard no problems at all even at very loud volume ,  for a 47 year old Beatles album, and visually and audibly, the vinyl displays only very minimal play only in my personal opinion quite unbeleivable to find like this!

 There is very, very minor light general ware and tare with age only, having said that this vinyl is the earliest possible for this pressing and the vinyl is very playable and boasts of playing through without the usual ticks, pops or skips and amaizingly (no) real background noise or nasty distortion! This is very enjoyable and very very collectable indeed!!This is an exceptional rarety!!!! The second album to be released in the UK by the Beatles in 1963. This is not only the earliest 1st pressing but the rarest with the above  charactoristics for 47 years old!! The rare uncorrected 1st ever issued cover with under exposed photo of the four Beatles (notice only half of their faces showing) mega rare to find! Also has the miss spelling of the track ''You Really Got a Hold On Me. misspelt 'Gotta' this was soon corrected ion later press!! Earliest -1N-1N matrix endings with track credits ''Jobete'  for  the track 'money'  on side 2! Also features the ''KMT tax codes stamped on side 1 (very rare to find normaly k.t code only)

With The Beatles is the second studio album by the English rock band The Beatles. It was released in November 1963 on Parlophone, and was recorded four months after the band's debut Please Please Me. The album features eight original compositions (seven by Lennon/McCartney, as well as George Harrison's first composition) and six covers (mostly of Motown and R&B hits)!!.

With The Beatles was also released in November, 1963 by Capitol Records in Canada, with a slight change to the title Beatlemania! With the Beatles. This release has the distinction of being the first Beatles LP released in North America, pre-dating the Capitol U.S. Meet The Beatles! and the Vee Jay Records Introducing... The Beatles LPs by 2 months!!.

The LP had advance orders of a half million and sold another half million by September 1965—making it the second album to sell a million copies in the UK. With The Beatles stayed at the top of the charts for 21 weeks, displacing Please Please Me, so that the Beatles occupied the top spot for 51 consecutive weeks. It even reached number eleven in the "singles charts" (because at the time UK charts counted all records sold, regardless of format). EMI Australia did not receive the cover art, and used a caricature of the band in a similar style to the black and white photograph on other releases. The Beatles were unaware of this until fans showed them the cover during their only Australian tour, and informed the EMI publicity people they were not pleased with the substitution!!.

The Matrix.(the earliest possible)

The vinyl.

This is of the thicker heavier and more robust type of vinyl with deeper grooves than the later pressings which were more flimsier THE VINYL LAYS PERFECTLY FLAT ON THE TURNTABLE!!!!!

On visual inspection the vinyl retains its original deep sheen and still looks very tidy!!!!looking under strong light there are in fact (very) few surface marks\scuffs\scratches only, nothing that would cause any clicks or pops that I heard on my system! Amaizingly I can't see any deep needle scratches or indeed and  audio sounding marks!

Amaizingly (NO) major audio sounding scratches or marks  that i heard at all!!!  These have little if (no) effect on the audio that i heard!!!!!

The Audio Quality

  I have played this through as usual track for track at very loud volume on a top system, importantly using a dedicated mono cartridge,, the !the audio is awesome througout this played through without any ticks  clicks or pops and certainly (no) skips or jumps at all!!!!!  Amaizingly there was very minimal background noise at all even between tracks this was exceptionaly quiet!!!! This is very very rare for a 1st pressing!!!!! Please note! that although i never heard any  major problems at all     (I would class myself as highly criticle) I would grade the audio at least excellent plus to very near perfect\mint throughout  on my systems!

I always add this disclamer!  This vinyl is the original and 47    years old and would have been played on a 47 year old system there is of course evidence that this has been played but it is my personal opinion that this vinyl has had only very minimal play only and certainly has not been overplayed at all!!   No loud  clicks or pops very rare to find like this! I would grade the audio at least excellent plus to very near perfect on my systems!!

The labels (Rarest to find with the MKT taxcodes!!!!)

This features the Parlophone labels, ''recording 1st published..''  and ''Made in Great Britain'' (only 1st press) also ''The Parlophone Co....'' is featured around the label rim (only 1st Press) The credit for ''Money'' is ''Jobett'' (very early1st pressings only'') Please do not under estemate the rarety of this vinyl!!!!!Also ''You Really gotta'' miss spelt on side 2.(only 1st press) and was later corrected on later pressings very rare!!!!!!

spidering can be seen angled to light! This has obviously been played but all evidence is just very minimal play only   There is little if (no) spindleware the hole is perfectly round!!! !

The record inner sleeve

This is the original ''emitex'' sleeve with ''important'' (only original press)  There  is some creasing and staining with age and a split beginning at one side. Please note! this is very fragile and is now stored seperately from the vinyl!!!!!

The cover

Another rarety to add to this album is the Garrod & Lofthouse printed laminated flipback cover The earliest and rarest to ever be found has the photo on the front of the four Beatles notice that the photo is under exposed onl half of their faces an be seen and are almost totally blacked out on one side! (This rare example is only found on the earliest covers)There are (no) splits ! super glossy laminate Amaizingly (No) real creases to mention on the front! very rare.  The laminate shows some light ringware with age when angled to the light!  ''With The Beatles'' can clearly be seen at the spine (see Photo) the rear does show some staining\yellowing some marks with age if scrutinised. (see photo)  The cover holds the UNCORRECTED  MISS spelling of the title track ''You really got a hold on me''  THIS SPELLS ''YOU REALLY GOTTA...''    (ONLY 1ST PRESS)  A TRULY RARE EXAMPLE STRONG AND STRAIGHT
