Description
The very first edition cassette release of " With The Beatles" in October 1970, in lovely condition. Played throughout and in perfect sound both sides, all suggesting this item has been played few times.
Clean, crisp inlay with no stains. Lime green paper labels with no bubbling or raising of the paper labels. The EMI/ Parlophone logo is missing from the labels. A number of the first issues had this anomaly as there was a shortage of expensive letterpress blocks. Intact original Norelco case. The inlay does have an indexed "63" sticker from the previous owner on the front and spine. However, this does not detract from the overall very good condition and the perfect sound. Clearly looked after.
The first edition can be identified by the elementary newspaper-like print design with the album cover extending to the very bottom of the front of the inlay, the catalogue number to the top left of the front, the circular 1&7/8ths i.p.s. denotation at the top of the spine, and the advertising of other Beatles albums musicassettes on the side flap of the inlay. The lime green paper labels have the "This stereo musicassette gives genuine monaural reproduction" denotation to the bottom left on both sides. A rare item - and in this lovely condition too.
Played throughout both sides and perfect.
