Description
THE BEATLES - 'WITH THE BEATLES'
1963 UK *STEREO* PRESSING* LP
This hard to find early stereo variant is a 2nd pressing on the yellow & black Parlophone label: PCS 3045
The publishing credit for the song 'Money' is incorrectly given as 'Dominion. Belinda (Ldn.) Ltd. NCB'.
The inclusion of the 'NCB' code was an error and is not present on the equivalent mono label.
The 'KT' tax/price code is visible around the side 2 centre hole.
Housed in an early front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with the darker front image.
The rear track-listing carries the 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me' misspelling.
Complete with its original poly-lined lined inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: YEX 110-2 & YEX 111-2
Stamper codes: 3/GO & 2/GO
Disc weight: 157g
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
Clean & bright with just a small collection of light spindle marks to each centre hole.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both surfaces of this well-looked after copy are clean and bright with all of their original deep-gloss shines fully intact. A handful of light scuff marks and the occasional hairline are visible in strong daylight, consistent with normal handling & play. Close & careful inspection beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals further significant marks or wear.
Play: EXCELLENT
A fine sounding copy which has clearly only recieved careful attention from good-quality equipment. All tracks play cleanly and clearly with no background noise, groove/play wear or any other significant audible wear in either channel. Both sides are free from any clicks, pops, jumps or any other such major audible faults.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A beautiful early example of this iconic cover which has been stored in ideal, smoke-free condition for the past 46 years. The front panel is clean & bright with an unscratched, high-gloss laminate bearing just two faint 'thumbnails' but no other significant signs of wear whatsoever. All corners are unbumped and unbruised and both opening edges undamaged. The easily blemished rear panel is perfectly clean & is white with no marks, writing or missing paper to any area. All flipbacks, seams and the spine are fully intact, unworn & completely undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & white with a few minor handling wrinkles but no splits, tears or writing.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on an EMT 950 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
