This is the ORIGINAL 1963 UK Black & Gold 1st pressing on the ULTRA RARE 'Earliest' 1st Press Black & Gold 'Grooved' Parlophone labels (with the 1st Press 'Dick James' Credits), 'The Parlophone Company' edge text, NO 'Sold In The UK' text, NO 'First Published' text, a LARGE 'MONO' on the cover front, 1st Press 'Polythene lined' Emitex 'Patents Applied For' inner sleeve, and an ORIGINAL 'E.J.Day' Flipback Laminated Cover!!!!  The 'Angus McBean' credit is in the 'standard' position in the bottom right corner of the cover front (see picture).  This credit does vary from cover to cover and I have always been of the opinion that this has absolutely nothing to do with the age of the cover in any respect (as E.J.Day had 2 factorys in 1963 it is more likely a simple factory difference)!!!!  And certainly I have absolutely NO doubt AT ALL that this is EXACTLY the ORIGINAL and CORRECT cover this LP came in when it was purchased back in 1963!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is PMC 1202 on the ORIGINAL and ULTRA RARE 'Earliest' 1st Press 'Grooved' Black & Gold Parlophone labels (see picture) and is a MONO 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are Pure quality Beatles at their best!!!! Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in absolutely SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, STUNNING sharp UNFADED Gold Print, VERY dark UNRUBBED black background, only some very VERY minimal wear (barely ANY) around the centre holes (VERY unnoticeable indeed!), and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  A SUPERB SET OF BLACK & GOLD LABELS!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 light hairlines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light wispy scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle, and only some VERY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  Not only that but the sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++ if not better and it is INCREDIBLY hard to find a Black & Gold 1st Pressing in this condition!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Emitex 'Poly Lined' inner sleeve which is in AWESOME condition!!!! The ORIGINAL 'E.J.Day' Flipback Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear, only a few light creases (cover is flat looking), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO writing, only a few creases to the flipbacks, NO grubbyness, NO flipback loss, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, and only some VERY minor rubbing to small parts of the VERY edges of the flipbacks ONLY (NO parts missing AT ALL)!!!!  The cover MUST grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed) if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
