This was the Beatles' second official release, following their hugely popular Please Please Me. This record was released on the 30th November 1963 and went to the number 1 position (knocking of their own Please Please Me lp) on the 7th of December. Staying at number 1 for 21 weeks! As a little note: they had already sold 250,000 copies before the release and so accepted a silver disc BEFORE release!

LOVELY AND EARLY


Vinyl:
VG+.
QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT 147g
There are many light marks to the vinyl, but having just listened to the whole of the record, I noticed onlya small amount of occasional background noise, mainly inbetween songs and in the run-ins-when the songs get going it sounds wonderfully rich.
Sounded surprisingly superb-all the way through! (They knew how to make vinyl back then ;)
REMAINS FLAT AND SHINY
CERTAINLY NO SKIPS OR STICKS


Labels:
EX.
Lovely clear text..
Light spindle marks visible when angled towards the light, with BARELY ANY hole wear.
VERY FRAMEABLE
Outer text "The Parlophone Co." 
No "Sold In" text. .
"Really Gotta Hold On Me" listing for track 3, side 2.
With the "Jobete" credit for Money-showing this to be the very 1st pressing.These labels were quickly corrected and recalled, making this an increasingly rare copy.

 "MKT" tax code side 2.
******************
(This is an unusual tax code for this lp as the MT tax code was used from January 1963 only until the 1st of June 1963...a very short running indeed and as this record was released in November 1963...THIS IS THE TRANSITIONAL STAMPING-it is a very unusual label indeed!)
********************
NO WRITING


Cover:
EX-.
 Mid sized Mono in top right corner. 
Lovely cover, with only 2 small crescents of spidering to the laminate near the opening-as well as some fingers of spidering emanating from the seams....FANTASTIC! There is just a very small well repaired tear to the top right corner...hard to see.
VERY FRAMEABLE
There's some slight discolouration to the back card as can be seen in the photo's provided.
 The corners remain sharp and strong with minimal rubbing.
NO WRITING
LOVELY STRONG FLIPBACKS
Garrod & Lofthouse 'Patents Pending'
 Very strong, UNCRUSHED & LEGIBLE spine!!
"You Really Gotta Hold On Me" mis-spelt track listing...1st printing here.

PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED-CLICK ON THEM FOR EVEN LARGER IMAGES AND SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR FAIR GRADING AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS


Inner:
EX+.
The earliest you could hope for: 'PATENTS APPLIED FOR'
It is the correct "USE EMITEX" inner in great shape. It has the plastic lining and only a small degree of discolouration.
Really has done it's job by looking after this slab of vinyl for all these years-56 years!


SO, ALL IN ALL, THIS IS A LOVELY VERY 1st PRESSING OF A BEATLES CLASSIC-SOUNDS GREAT-LOOKS GREAT.....IS GREAT!
THIS IS HOW THE BEATLES WANTED YOU TO HEAR THEM, BACK IN THE DAY!!
PLAY OR FRAME THIS BEAUTY
