This is the ORIGINAL 1963 UK Black & Gold 2nd pressing on the ULTRA RARE 'Northern Songs' 2nd Press Black & Gold Parlophone labels (with the ULTRA RARE 2nd Press 'Northern Songs' Credits), 'The Parlophone Company' edge text, NO 'Sold In The UK' text, NO 'First Published' text, a LARGE 'MONO' on the cover front, ORIGINAL '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 2nd Press Black & Gold Parlophone labels (see picture) and is a MONO 2nd 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, barely ANY wear AT ALL around the centre holes (virtually NONE!), and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  A SUPERB SET OF BLACK & GOLD LABELS!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT 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 3 or 4 light hairlines, only 3 or 4 MEGA light scufflines, and only a 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!!!!  The record must grade Very Good+ and it is INCREDIBLY hard to find an ULTRA RARE Black & Gold 2nd 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 (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases (cover is VERY 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, NO grubbyness, NO flipback loss, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, and only some VERY light rubbing (mainly towards the left - where the track listing is a little faint).  The cover MUST grade Very Good+!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!

TAKE A LOOK AT PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!
