The Beatles

Yellow Submarine

1st STEREO PRESS

PCS 7070
(Another from my personal collection)
*Incredibly early press with -1/-1 Matrix endings  as well as 1H/1M Mothers/Stampers*

Roll up, roll up all ye Beatles fans....Ready to be re-released by Disney in the near future as a 3D remake, it's The Beatles' YELLOW SUBMARINE....
This was The Beatles' eleventh official album release and interestingly enough, the first album of theirs to included non-Beatles material. Released, after a delay, in mid January the album made it up the UK charts to the 3rd position....With The Beatles' 'White' album denying it the top slot.
There were only modest sales-in comparison with other Beatles releases-as the sales were around 800,000 within the first three months, but it did go over1 million sales by the end of the year. This could have had something to do with the album having only four original tracks and the rest was George Martin's film score.

So, here's the details of this album up for auction:

Catalogue number: PMC 7070

Matrix Numbers side 1: YEX 715-1
Matrix Numbers side 2: YEX 716-1
As you can see...It's the very first pressing...NOW LOOK AT THESE MOTHERS/STAMPERS:

Mothers/Stampers side 1: 1 H
Mothers/Stampers side 2: 1 M
WOW.........VERY, VERY EARLY PRESSING INDEED!!!!


Vinyl:
QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT 161g
VG.
There are some light marks to this gloriously heavy slab of original vinyl..BUT
After giving her a gentle vaccum clean,I played her all the way through and found a wonderfully deep and rich sound reproduction.
There was the occasional light crackle of background noise evident between the songs, with the more delicate insrumental side 2 being lovely and clear.
The singular point of note is a stick on track 2, side 1...I think this will easily play over with a slightly heavier stylus than mine
Flat, heavy and an all original 1st press recording.

Lables:
EX!
She has the all important statement "Sold in the U.K...." showing it is a first press as well as "Mfd. in U.K."...If you needed any more convincing other than those
 HUGELY EARLY MOTHERS/STAMPERS.
Nice dark 1st printing run Apple, rather than the later lighter ones.
Only a light spindle marks, which are really only visible when angled towards the light-and looking for them.
NO WRITING OR LIFTING


THIS VINYL REPRESENTS EXACTLY HOW THE BEATLES WANTED YOU TO  HEAR THIS ICONIC ALBUM.
Very displayable...Very playable ;-)
GORGEOUS


Cover:
VG+.
 It is the original cover 1st printing cover.
 Has the two red lines above and below the text to the back.
The flipbacks are in superb, strong condition, with their lovely rounded edges.
**DOES NOT HAVE the GARROD & LOFTHOUSE credit and Patent Number: 943.895....Showing this to be the very 1st printing run**
There are only small fingers of spidering to the edges ...REALLY NOTHING BAD AT ALL.
The corners have some rubbing/knocking too.

NO WRITING.

SUPERB strong & LEGIBLE spine.

THE ORIGINAL CREAMY/DREAMY COLOURS REMAIN RICH FROM THE DAY SHE WAS BORN


Please see the detailed photo's for yourselves and read my feedback for happy customers and fair gradings.


Inner:
EX-.
White die-cut.
It is a correct period inner with "MADE IN ENGLAND" rather than the later Made In Great Britain text.
Some discolouration to the paper, with a little nick to the opening but NO SPLITS or WRITING.

All in all it is a VERY rare, VERY first  pressing of a wonderful album. She is one heck of a rare beauty, sounds great and remains alltogether in her ORIGINALITY!!!
SAD TO SEE HER GO.....
