The Beatles
Yellow Submarine
STEREO
PCS 7070
(Another from my personal collection)
With the earliest Matrix endings: -1/-1  &  RARE UN-creditted manufacturer on the cover!

Roll up, roll up all ye Beatles fans....Here'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: PCS 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: 2 RH
Mothers/Stampers side 2: 1 GH
WOW.........VERY, VERY EARLY PRESSING INDEED!!!!


Vinyl:
QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT 137g
VG.
There are many light marks to this gloriously heavy slab of original vinyl..BUT
After giving her a gentle vaccum clean, followed by an ultrasonic 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 showing a little light background crackle-which I thought was quite warming, rather than annoying.

*NO SKIPS, JUMPS OR STICKS*

Flat, heavy and an all original 1st press recording.

Lables:
VG+.
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.
Many light spindle marks, which are really only visible when angled towards the light-and a little amount of central hole wear-as can be seen in the images provided.
Small name to side 2.


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


Cover:
VG.
 It is the EARLIEST 1st printing cover:
There are NO credits for the printing!! (usually this would be Garrod & Lofthouse on the flipbacks)-but not here...Very RARE and very early!
 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.
VERY displayable and VERY frameable cover here as the front laminate has only a coupld of tiny crescents of spidering to the laminate-with the colours remaining superbly vibrant.
To the back there is some taping, but is superficial as when I look inside the sleeve, there are ZERO splits, tears or cuts.
The corners have just some very light rubbing/knocking.
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:
G.
It is THE ORIGINAL black die-cut, single windowed inner-which only came with the very 1st pressings.
However-as you can see; there are tears and splits to it.


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!!! Even the light occasional background noise adds to it's authenticity.
SAD TO SEE HER GO.....
