VERY FIRST PRESSING ON THE RED PARLOPHONE LABELS WITH McCARTNEY - LENNON WRITING CREDITS AND MADE IN GT. BRITAIN LABEL TEXT
 DISC STILL RETAINS A GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WITH NO DEEP OR FEELABLE MARKS BUT THERE ARE LIGHT HANDLING MARKS REMEMBER THIS IS A 54 YEAR OLD RECORD ,IT IS THE BEATLES AND IT HAS BEEN PLAYED .
THE LABELS ARE STILL BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH SOME LIMITED WEAR ON THE "B" SIDE LABEL AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE ( UNDERSTANDABLE AS IT WAS MAINLY THE "A" SIDE WHICH WAS PLAYED THE MOST) SPINDLE MARKS SEEM MAINLY TO BE CONFINED TO THE PUSH OUT CENTRE
I HAVE PLAY TESTED THE RECORD ON A 60's HI-FI SYSTEM AND ON THE "A" SIDE THERE IS SOME LIGHT CRACKLE WHEN THE STYLUS IS APPLIED TO THE DISC AT THE START BUT THE AUDIO THAT FOLLOWS IS GREAT TO LISTEN TO THE "B" SIDE IS SLIGHTLY MORE CRACKLY BUT STILL VERY LISTENABLE TO 
THE STANDARDS OF QUALITY CONTROL BACK IN THE EARLY SIXTIES AND THE AUDIO EQUIPMENT TO PLAY RECORDS ON WASN'T AS GOOD AS  TODAY SO YOU JUST TURNED THE VOLUME UP AND IGNORED THE STATIC
RECORD COMES IN AN ORIGINAL WAVY COLOURED  SLEEVE WHICH ITSELF IS NICE AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY DISTRESS
